On batting averages yes behind Bradman.
He's played over 70 less tests, IMO he is second only to Bradman. If he didn't have 12 months stolen off him his record would be even more impressive. I don't think he's been the same play since the layoff.
Yes Sandpaper and Covid hitting smithy in his prime has cost him 10-12 more 100s at a minimum.
It's cost him over 20 tests , so you could say 6 or 7 tons at a minimum.
With 5 ashes tests to go i seriously doubt it.
They always claim it’s to rest bowlers. You can rest by getting them f**king out quicker!
Hey I’m not saying agree with it but it’s just what they’ll do. Some of times the last few years we haven’t enforced the follow on have been embarrassing. But they’ll trot out the line about managing bowling workloads. They haven’t played in months ffs!!
Moeen is back to ensure there is still a Bald off in the spinners.
What a wanker ..
