Darren Scammy seems very happy to let these two rotate the strike

I wonder how much better (if at all) Tino Best would be if he had a modicum of intelligence. Very sharp and can get movement - a Test average of 37 seems way too high for that.

Did you watch Tino before his comeback? He just wasn't that good.

I need to go to bed soon, but I also want to watch Rohit bat. I've been saying for 3 years that Rohit's real calling is tests, not limited overs.

100% agree... His game always seemed suited to a long innings. Lets see how he goes.

Sprays it around a lot. His opening spell today wasn't good either... Half his deliveries were on the pads. If he tightens up his line without losing pace, then he'll be good... As you said, he dies get some movement

An average of 37 puts Tino Best firmly in the Ishant Sharma league

Well, his first run was in 2004ish. I was 9 years old. So no, didn't see him back then. And tbh my post was getting at why I think he hasn't performed that well.

The real guy who seems heir to the Laxman throne is Ashwin. He does well to clean up messes and he's got that lazy backfoot game that's not bad on the eye

Haha, I was thinking just that, but more because they both have that tall but not very athletic look.

Running between the wickets pretty similar as well.

I think that can explain some of the lazy backfoot game.
