boy does the square at Old Trafford need digging up, edges not carrying to the keeper on day one even when the batter goes hard. has the reputation of being the fastest bounciest pitch in the country, is now a slow joke of a wicket sadly

Pope been superb this afternoon, and much better from Buttler, rescued England from a precarious position.

Not sure why Chase has only bowled 2 overs considering the hex he has over England batsmen of late

 

[fundy]

lol at coming off when its that bright, sets a low bar for remaining days too

Buttler has just bought himself another series with that innings.

Really really don’t rate him at test level. He’s far too inconsistent with the gloves and his batting is flaky as hell.

73 overs in a so called full days play, cricket loves to shoot itself in the foot

Has been poor with the gloves all series and I would love to see England be brave and have a specialist keeper. The batting line up is deep enough to accommodate surely

As a paid up member of the Keepers' Union, I'd always go for a gloveman over a batter you can keep! Heck that approach cost me a contact!

But this isn't a new thing...Bob Taylor always bemoaned Keith Andrew being overlooked for Godfrey Evans!

top class keepers are hardly queueing up in county cricket are they, dont get in the county side without being able to bat in most cases nowadays

whos the specialist keeper were all clamouring for?

Broad been superb again this morning

I imagine the Windies may be a couple down at the end of today.

quick blast after tea to try and put on another 50/100 and then whack them in for a, hopefully, uncomfortable 45 mins this evening

not the england way to trust weather forecasts enough to declare tonight, hope youre right but wouldnt be at all surprised if they bat the day out

In other news... IPL is going ahead, but played in the middle east in Sept. Only 60 matches. I am guessing, TV rights and commercial considerations weighing in more than health..

Stuart Broad is so good. What a bowler.

Whoever decided to drop him in the first must be very uncomfortable... ofcouse it was team decision..
