This will be a magnificent century by Bairstow - Quality player

Not for a Top 6 batsman with a @34 Test average he aint. Has passed 50 only 28 times from 140 innings. I call that moderate at best. Playing a good knock today tho.

again, Pope, Crawley, Buttler, Malan et al have been playing

and many of his tests have been as keeper

Yeah but he shits on half the bats they've picked this tour.

And it's difficult to make a huge impact when you're sometimes the keeper, sometimes not, sometimes batting 3...or 4...or 5 or 6 or 7 or 8.

He's best suited to the middle order. Entirely coincidentally he averages near on 40 when given a semi-solid run in a position. He's another victim of England's bizarre selection policy. No one's suggesting he's amazing but he's definitely a good player.

We need a bowling coach who has a plan for tailenders.

Deadset any time the number 8 comes in we go all bouncy and Wood seems to have a solid pull sot so can we please just bowl normally FFS

 

[Smug Panther]

Why are we bowl all this short pitch nonsense?

 

[Hutty1986]

Such intelligent bowling from Cummins. Gets smashed-just rinse and repeat

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Something seriously f**king wrong with us when batsmen start attacking, or we bowl to the tail. Keep giving them exactly what they want

Bowl a f**king yorker you morons

 

[Incorrect]

Go on Wood my son!! Has made more runs than all his openers combined in the series!!!

We've been doing it for years, i absolutely hate the tactic.

 

[hineyrulz]

Who is the bowling coach???? Ronald McDonald???

 

[Smug Panther]

Some of the worst bowling I've ever seen really

 

[Bazal]

Who is the bowling coach???? Ronald McDonald???

Can't be he never bowled fast enough to send down a sniff

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Cummins channelling Tim Shaime here

Edit: Well f**k me. That looked nowhere near the bat

 

[Bazal]

Arsey f**king wicket that.

That tiny feather will mean we bowl short shit to tail Ender's for the next 43 summers

 

[mave]

On field umpire looked as suprised as anyone.

 

[TheParraboy]

Snicko didn’t seem to align with ball on bat . Or my eyes failing me?

 

[Sphagnum]

Wood got robbed

 

[JJ]

Yeah… nah

 

[_snafu_]

Jack Leach to ton up.
