So is Craig or Jamie batting now?

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Standing ovation for bringing up 50 seems weird, especially given the game position.

He needs to treble it.

LOL at Butch suggesting that Joverton has a vastly better technique than Key Jr.

Golden Child still won't get dropped.

What's the highest number of times a bowler has beaten the bat in a dozen overs (Boult)?

 

[GIMH]

Obviously not going to come off all the time but you might as well get Bairstow to bat like this

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Follow on saved at least ?

Great partnership this. Puts us in with half a chance if we can bat the day out.

No problem with him playing like it but we can't have the entire top 6 batting the same.

 

[Aritro]

**** me, imagine missing batting like this cos you're watching Bangladesh v West Indies

 

[GIMH]

Agree, just Bairstow

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Agree, just Bairstow

Daft as it is it is how Buttler should have been playing for years.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Batted Overton. Some performance on debut. Great effort.

 

[BoyBrumby]

50 for JOverton on dayboo. Under pressure too.

Put a lot of the top order to shame.

 

[Xuhaib]

Good to see Jonny has ditched conventional test match batting for crash bang approach will help him average 10+ more imo.

 

[Howe_zat]

Overton the 3rd England player this century to take wickets and hit a 50 on debut, anyone reckon they can get the others?

1000 internet points on offer for this

 

[BoyBrumby]

Arsey as ****, but 4 more.

Serious unit, JOvers, isn't he? Looks thicker set than his bro, twins notwithstanding.

 

[Aritro]

I'm enjoying watching England revolutionise test cricket while saving it from its inevitable demise.

Get Buttler in to do more of the same. Stokes, Bairstow, Buttler; the run-a-ball axis that changed the game. It's the stuff of documentaries.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

McGrath and Dawson.

Salisbury? Although suspect he was well before 2000.

Think another leggie in Chris Schofield got a 50 first up, but no wickets.

Dunno. Mo Ali? Stokes?

Looking forward to the Eng vs SA series watching Eng bat like this.
