Some of their late 80's/early 90's ones look like absolute shockers. I think the seamers individually are at least OK ones.This must be the worst English attack in living memory. I can't think of any point going back to the immediately post WW2 period where England would've fielded a worse attack.
Jamie Smith was being touted yesterday as potentially the next Gilchrist and the best keeper-bat of all time.Pant looking to outdo Jamie Smith? Is that what it is? Grow up. No need to bat this fast!
Nah Pant does his own thing. Pretty sure he wants to score quicker than Jamie Smith.. Show them that he is the best and the most attacking keeper batter in the world.Maybe India have decided the English attack poses little threat and that it might be worth Pant having a red hot go to see what happens. If it comes off, they'll be miles ahead. If not, they might be backing the lower order to get them enough runs anyway.
It’s fantastic. England are going to water at the first whiff of grapeshot. They’re a fair weather outfitThese guys are batting like they have only 20 overs to bowl at England or something
Need to relax a bit
at least Smith doesn't drop howlers and can get down to his anklesJamie Smith was being touted yesterday as potentially the next Gilchrist and the best keeper-bat of all time.
he isn’t even the best keeper-bat in this series ffs
What are you dribbling about you imbo?at least Smith doesn't drop howlers and can get down to his ankles
just saying I wouldn't put Pants keeping anywhere near Smiths , but as batsmen they are comparableWhat are you dribbling about you imbo?
Pant's been doing this for seven years ffs. There's no comparison.just saying I wouldn't put Pants keeping anywhere near Smiths , but as batsmen they are comparable
Broadly agree, but the late 1980s post-Willis & Botham line-ups say 'hi'.
I was thinning of the 46/47 Ashes as being potentially worse. I don't think Tongue or Bashir should make the average CC attack let alone a test side. This has to be top 3 at least.Some of their late 80's/early 90's ones look like absolute shockers. I think the seamers individually are at least OK ones.
when smith can score the kind of away centuries Pant has done outside of England we can talk. Until then he’s a guy with a good century on featherbed home conditionsjust saying I wouldn't put Pants keeping anywhere near Smiths , but as batsmen they are comparable
Comparable? Smith’s made two tons on roads against barely FC attacks. Pant has taken down the best bowlers in the world home and away while batting higher up the orderjust saying I wouldn't put Pants keeping anywhere near Smiths , but as batsmen they are comparable
It's the latter that cemented his place in the team.at least Smith doesn't drop howlers and can get down to his ankles
