That's a real shame for him, that must be really really fecking painful.
I dunno about that. I think England were comfortably on top, when the rain came.Windies have such rotten luck
14 overs, 100 runs is so much time for the game to change. Good chase from England anyway.I dunno about that. I think England were comfortably on top, when the rain came.
Hope anyone who likes a bet got on this. Odds getting smashed in a bit on the exchanges this morning, down to 1.5 but 1.6 still available at a few bookies if you fancy. After the Stokes incident, the squad announcement and the media reaction to the squad I expect those odds could drop more. 14/1 the whitewash also worth a dabble IMO.Does anyone not think that the Aussies will thrash us? We have 3 major issues in the batting line-up and no bowlers who will do well in Australia. I think Australia have to be a great bet to win the series at 8/13.
What a twat.
No they weren't, he was in terrible form. Bairstow has played well since being picked.Better from Roy, showing why they were wrong to drop him
Hales is in great form as well tbh, and Roy is utterly destructive.Bairstow should be the permanent opener. Even when he isn't in form he'll grind it out and score good at a decent rate because of his technique and temperament. I'd say he would make a very good opener in tests as well but that will obviously not happen as long as he has the WK responsibility.
Love Bairstow but he hasn't got the technique or style to open in Tests, not by a long stretch.Bairstow should be the permanent opener.
