Root absolute class

Surrey beat Middlesex at Lords in the Blast this evening.

Just saying.

Williamson out of the test with COVID, seriously why are they still testing, ridiculous

 

[Gazza Dazzla]

Nice interview with Broad at lunch about his 8 for vs Aus at Trent bridge

 

[markysimmo]

Awful bowling from England after winning the toss, 4 an over is not good enough

 

[markysimmo]

5 dropped catches !!!

 

[markysimmo]

I bet we're 8 down by the close of play
Crawley caught knicking off yet again

I bet we're 8 down by the close of play

Ok, they have surprised me !!!

Good to see Pope get in the runs

Good to see Pope get in the runs

Really hope Lees goes on to get at least a 50 tomorrow. He’s been quietly improving and looking more positive, and has had a couple of starts - just needs a little confidence boost with a real score….

 

[Gazza Dazzla]

Good to see Pope get in the runs

Yep, he massively needed them, hopefully gives the confidence to get his career back on track now.

If conditions stay the same and pitch doesnt die England should be able to get near their score pitch looks full of runs.

Pope is the reincarnation of Ian Bell.
No bad thing, that.

100% he is such a classy player, just need to stick by him I feel he can be our next Root

 

[K.D.D.D.D.Soc]

I think England got away with it, I thought they would post 600+ with their batting line up, the last wicket pair looked like they didnt know what to do in the situation with both looking at personal goals and falling between two stools.

 

[StephenH]

Root is simply a class apart!

104 runs in 122 balls!

 

[markysimmo]

Just had the commentary on TMS for 90 mins driving home
I love listening to cricket comms, been a fantastic watch/listen for fans today
Shame Stokes got out when he did as he was just smashing it about

 

[markysimmo]

Root with 10 hundreds in his last 22 tests
Only Dennis Compton did it in quick, he did it in 21 tests

 

[markysimmo]

Cricket is a good watch !!
Can the 2 gingers win it for England

 

[markysimmo]

Since tea they have gone into a different level, brilliant from mainly JB !!!
