Latham with what England are now calling a back foot defensive

 

[Bahnz]

Btw was there any reason why Latham at least wasn't playing the tests in the mid year against Zimbabwe? Not like he can afford the same amount of contempt for international cricket as KW. Man ain't got deals to drag down T20 franchise teams.

He was injured Captain Tom Latham ruled out of second Test | RNZ News

 

[Gnske]

He was injured iirc

Shame, missed out on a feast. Struggling to remember his last ton.

Speaking of which, how maddening that Young had his best opportunity to make a hundred opening during that series, squandered it and is now in the middle order, out of form and destined for damnation.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Most wayward debut over in cricket history? Top 5? Top 10?

 

[thierry henry]

pleased to hear you practise what you preach

Only because it's all I can do, and usually I'm not even trying to do it. Most common innings these days is like 2(25) *out trying to go aerial or across the line after 20 failed attempts at piercing the field with conventional attacking shots*

Is there speed gun for this test?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Is there speed gun for this test?

[straw man]

Injured

 

[Gnske]

OMG no way. Great ball

That was so coming though. Shields looking rattled

 

[straw man]

oh wow, great ball

Oh no.

 

[Mike5181]

Williamson was nowhere near that lol.

 

[Skyliner]

A ‘shot of real authority’ there from Williamson.

 

[Gnske]

Greaves looking as threatening as landing some aeroplane jelly on a good length

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

This is not threatening bowling by this pair.

 

[ashley bach]

Shields all over the place like a drunken sailor.

 

[Gnske]

Shields definitely looking like a man who averages above 30 in Windies FC

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Clearly, this guy is not ready for test cricket. What a blunder.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Anderson Phillip is better. Nial Smith is better. Jeremiah Louis is better. Isai Thorne is better. Nathan Edwards is better.

This ****ing coach is making this picks just off of vibe.

Worst coach in international cricket.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

No penetration at all (That's what she said)
