Good enough start in the only preparation game ( 251/4 ) Starting eleven is likely to remain same for first test next Monday. On a lighter note, the much anticipated occurrence of Stokes, Foakes and Woakes has taken place ! I’m a happy man now !
I saw a fair bit on you tube and it was a good reserved innings… The standard of bowling was poor but he certainly took advantage. I haven’t see any news yet but Wood didn’t bowl at all in their first 30 odd overs and that fact is somewhat worrying. Has anyone heard anything ?
Just part of the 12. Stokes hasn't bowled either. Nothing to be concerned about other than Robinson and Woakes being a bit toothless as an opening attack. I think Leach has taken one of the wickets.
Robinson went off yesterday with back spasms and Wood is a doubt for 1st Test with some undisclosed illness, so he didn’t feature in 3 days of practice game. They both may be alright for next Tuesday but we must be looking at replacements ? Surely they won’t ask Broad and Anderson. Stokes hasn’t bowled either but he qualifies as a batter
Leach tries hard, but is a bit rubbish though isn't he ? They have lost the plot not taking the 2 older fellas - utterly insane
im fitter then Robinson and I work behind a desk everyday and am 50 years old. By the time he's on his third spell he'll be bowling underarm.
Is Robinson the guy who refused to be weighed and tested by the England medical team during the Ashes tour? Only supposition mind...
By his own admission he was a bit of a wrong un when at Yorkshire during his late teens. He was actually sacked ( or un-retained !) Not suggesting he’s still a bad boy but just saying !
