Modern batsmen against the moving ball a joy to watch lol, some utterly horrific techniques and mindsets on view. That or theyre still drunk from the WC

Bairstow bowled again.
Where's the calm assurance of Stokes and Foakes? (Rhetorical question fir Foakes as I know the answer)

Some things dont change, we seem to have no interest in bowling at the stumps with the new ball

Ireland.. not much pace, but bowled with deadly accuracy to hit top of Offstump
England.. lot of fire, but where is the accuracy..
i think its just a ploy, put to be this notion of Free to air Cricket to bed once and for all

So I don't know a whole lot about batting technique but some of the weird dancing off- balance moves I saw were unusual to say the least!

Bairstow not even bothering with keeper catches and ushering them to Root at first slip lol

Then Root dropping one in the next over. This has been painful to watch.

not sure why you'd have the 2 spinners trying to turn it up the hill on day 1 of a test match either

Btw what was all the Bairstow warning bit when he was batting.. found it funny that he ignored it.
Having said that, the ball that took his wicket was pure magic

its a decent ball but shows the massive gap in his technique which has been seen against the red ball far far too much the last few years

So 4 day tests, captain suspension for slow over rates removed, only the 42 overs to be bowled after tea from 4.30pm lol

Turns out pitching it up at the 3 bits of wood at the other end works, who'd have thought it

Slightly different question.... Is there a Cricket version of 'Hogans 5 principles'... my boy is a bit of nut for test cricket and some say he can play a bit too. As he is a voracious reader, wanted to get him something to read about the game. Not very keen on autobiographies as it can be difficult at his age to understand some of the complex human angles (he is 10).. all suggestions welcome
