Look at how ugly that was. He has moved accross to the off stump. Played all around a ball crashing into leg stump. Didn't even realise he has missed it.

What would you call that shot he was attempting? The back foot on drive? The front on mid wicket flick chip shot? if he hits it, that ball is looking a good chance for an on side field catch. At 8.24 he is almost standing perfectly square to the bowler.

Yeah - I'd be giving him a real thorough leg stump examination.

The West Indies would've been feeling pretty foolish for not thinking to do that when he was on 0 I reckon.

Look, he clearly can be exploited with his movement to the onside. Doesn't change the fact he's been in pretty good form and you've had to be pretty spot on with your planning, or he's had to have been at the wicket for a number of hours first. England may well nail him on it this series.

Picking an innings where he scored 199 and saying his movement to off was an issue is a bit silly though...how many times did he move across the stumps in exactly this fashion and whip it away through square leg/midwicket in the 8 hours he was at the crease before this happened?

That was even uglier given he was on 199. That was his best effort to get 1 run, when he is seeing the ball like a pumpkin?

Do you play cricket?

It's obvious you've never spent a particularly long period of time at the crease. I've made several 150+ scores and you tend to get out to deliveries you wouldn't if you got them early because of concentration issues and you're tired as ****

Rogers off the mark with a four flicked behind square

Looks like he has a leg stump problem to me

Regardless if it's Steve Smith or any other remotely Test standard batsman, the idea of the opposition bowling plan being to 'test' them out with leg stump half volleys is ****ing hilarious.
