2019 Cricket

Great advert for the 5 day format.

Great perseverance and discipline from England, helped by a few bad decisions from a couple of the SA batters. Hope Andersons OK, although I imagine the selectors would be relieved if they had to leave him out of the next test for Archer due to injury. Two evenly matched sides should make for a good series !!!

Would anyone make any changes for the next test ?

Archer for Anderson at this rate.
 
If Leach is fit who would your spinner be for the next test ?

Keep in mind, we need to probably play 2 in Sri Lanka........I'd prob give Leach a go.
 
The best way for boards to get a decent 5th day in tests is to have a proper wicket which promotes a fair contest. Too many pitches are roads (boring) or bunsens. Groundsmen are often to blame for tests either not going the distance or just being a 5th day non event.

A 5 day wicket would be useless for England, they usually find a way to feck it up inside 3days.
