Guest MattP Posted 2 December 2019 Posted 2 December 2019 That's the worst drop I've ever seen at this level. No fight, no keeper, no spinner. What an absolute shambles.

Haven't seen it, but it sounds like an absolute shocker. Read Leach was hospitalised with gastroenteritis, but doesn't explain why we had no cover

Finnegan Posted 2 December 2019 Posted 2 December 2019 Everything about that is perfect. The drop, the commentary, Archer just pissing himself "Oh no"
Guest MattP Posted 3 December 2019 Posted 3 December 2019 Well that tour was pretty worrying. Aside from Sri Lanka I don't think we we capable of taking 20 wickets away. Huge concern just how poor Archer, Curran and Leach were.
leicsmac Posted 3 December 2019 Posted 3 December 2019 We haven't had a world class spinner since Swann, and honestly it really shows in the results abroad since he retired.

But where's the incentive to produce spinners in this country now? The ECB docked Somerset points for producing a turning wicket in a bid to win the Championship this season. Counties must think "what's the point"?

They should've just let him sit this test series out and kept him fresh for SA.

Was already moaning about bowling with the kookaburra ball before we got there and didn't seem to even be trying to bowl quickly at times. Sorry to tell you Jofra but that's it when you step outside England, you've got to learn to use it.
Corky Posted 3 December 2019 Posted 3 December 2019 Getting fed up with the tactic of constantly asking the ball to be looked at when we can't take a wicket. How many times do the umpires have to comfortably fit the ball through the object to know there's nothing wrong? Desperate stuff.

And it also gives the oppo the upper hand if they know we're constantly resorting to that.

It's all a bit paradoxical, really - you need a world-class spinner to be a world-class Test team and yet the ECB are getting in their own way.

Guest Electric Yetis Posted 4 December 2019 Posted 4 December 2019 Has he been ill? Sure he was on Sky fairly recently?
STEVIE B Posted 4 December 2019 Posted 4 December 2019 Very sad. Many evenings spent in my younger days pretending to bowl like him at the local park. RIP.
