A Load of Squit 5,161 Posted February 9, 2021 England were also 'awesome to watch'. English timidity & caution is so much better than the Aussie version. 😀 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems one man's "timid and cautious" is another man's "intelligent and dominant". Gobby Shane never needs to fear that the appelation "intelligent" will be one that he'll ever be expected to live up to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 7,602 Posted February 9, 2021 Amazing all round performance- how is Jimmy still this good? This wasn't a game where the losing team bet themselves with silly wickets and poor bowling- we were just better in every facet of the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,602 Posted February 9, 2021 23 hours ago, Bill said: no, do explain Assuming this a sincere question... A team can end their innings at any point by 'declaring' rather than waiting for their batsmen to get out. So Swindo was right we could have declared and put India in to bat at any point.

Quite incredible that Anderson still looks to how he might improve. What an athlete and an example to others. Shout out to Leach and Bess too. Interesting how they contribute in each respective innings... A proper team performance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah especially as Leach started off getting hit our of the park- great mental strength to come back from that. I'm not sure I see either of them developing into top level spinners but they can do a job for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
