Don't get me wrong, this is purely an aesthetic issue.Well it's working
Excellent from Rehan Ahmed this morning, three wickets and England arguably now on top
Is there any point when the ball is struggling to get over ankle height in the first session on the first day of a Test match?Sad to see how empty the stadium is. Doesn't feel great for the future of test cricket.
And the added run was a Wide! That's some collapseJust seen that in the Australian One Day Cup Western Australia went from 52 for 2 to 53 all out
and they've all played for Australia too.
I think the errors have been in the field.Game over. Three spinners an error?
I gather Jordan Cox is lined up to take the gloves for the New Zealand series, as Smith will be at home on paternity leave.Just to hopefully put the wicket keeper thing to bed. Smith dropped a straight forward chance off Saud when he was on 26. He now has a big ton now. I don't think Foakes would have missed that.
Might be different if we had Wood available or somebody of that ilk who offers something particularly different, but I'm not sure a few overs of 80ish mph seam bowling would achieve much in this situation.Game over. Three spinners an error?
Another occasional wicket keeper.I gather Jordan Cox is lined up to take the gloves for the New Zealand series, as Smith will be at home on paternity leave.
