Jesus. This is going to be a bloodbath. Don't trust any of our top order to make a score. Only two that look even remotely solid are Head and Wade and Wade is just as likely to make 10 as he is 50+. Absolutely spineless this side really.
There's absolutely nobody in our side that can dig in and drive the bowlers nuts. Been saying this for years too. They all just cannot help themselves and have to play their shots. Its not a 20/20 game you morons!"When a man insults my country I insult him, by taking his woman" Tony Yeboah

Yeah both sides batting is absolutely awful, bar Smith and maybe Root and Stokes.Originally posted by Shaggy View PostOur batting line up is exactly the same though

Two very solid bowling attacks though. Some of our bowlers handle the bat better than our bloody top order do too

Outside of India in the sub-continent, I don't think there is a solid batting team in the world. We're in an age of strokemakers and T20 dashers. I remember a few years ago, South Africa didn't necessarily have the best players but there were guys like Smith, Petersen and Prince that would dig in and bat long periods of time providing the foil for more fluid players. England have had plenty of their own with likes of Collingwood, Cook and Trott. This style of player is a dying breed, but essential for winning test matches.

Warner is an absolute moron and he's exactly the type i was talking about in my post above.Originally posted by Buzzo View PostBe interesting to see how Warner goes. He’s been ****.
Simply cannot help himself and has to slash at balls outside off. You might get away with that in Australia on our pitches, but you're going to get out very very early in England when the balls hooping around like it does!
Its pretty ****ing obvious. A bloody cricket simpleton like me can see it. I haven't played a game of cricket since i was 12 FFS

Where’s your Alistair Cook types? Just blocking for the first session, wearing attacks down but ultimately eventually going on to big scores. It’s not pretty but it wins tests. That England batting line up with Cook and Strauss opening then Trott following up once those two had worn the attack down and then KP following that attrition up swinging for the ropes. Without the attrition you can’t get the expansive play.Modifying post.
