Bess hasn't even been that bad tbh. Commentators suggesting he's sending down village-level stuff

I thought you'd be a big Dom Bess fan. Singlehandly proving that finger spin isn't as easy as it looks.

It happens. Good thing here is that Root is not destroying his confidence by just randomly getting him out of the attack. Sometimes spinners do need some time to find their rhythm. Remember a game where Graeme Smith hardly allowed Imran Tihar to bowl as he was finding it a little tough to find his rhythm. That was poor.

oh I follow him on IG and advocate for his selection all the time. Give him a few years and he'll be gun. I like him so I feel inspired to write songs about him

Really? I genuinely haven’t seen him bowl a full over with six balls even in roughly the right area!

Basically he needs to bowl a few yards quicker on these tracks, and maybe that's what is causing these rubbish deliveries. Haven't seen him before so can't say if this is his regular pace, but the wickets in the series certainly need the spinners to bowl a little quicker. Leach is also bowling at a pretty rapid pace if you've noticed.

Surely any song involving him would have the emphasis on the 'o' and not the 's'

Are you turning into the guy who talked about "abilities"?

I mean he's been poor, but I've seen much worse in tests. He looks pretty threatening when he can string a few balls together

Bess has an action with a lot of moving parts, just needs to find rhythm. Has very nice release and good basics. Could have easily had a couple of wickets already - he's bowled worse for better figures.
Problem is that in a low-scoring game the runs he's conceding are crucial.

I'll sing it on the next podcast so you can hear how I'm hearing it.

His good balls are threatening, he’s more than capable of getting a wicket with a jaffa, but it’d certainly be an anomaly.

Pant is so hyperactive! Something's always happening when he's at the crease
Does the pitch have variable turn like in the previous test?
