 Root is getting out lbw a lot of times these days. Tha tis a sign of decline in reflex

 

Root said it is due to the new Dukes ball which was jagging in sharply.

Yea. Read that. But others don't get out like that frequently.

[Lone Wolf]

They should have picked Ubaid.. he may not be as quick as Razaullah but he can bowl upto 140k occasionally at least

 

[vvvslaxman]

He is 21?

I have seen him. NOt as accurate as this guy. This guy is maintaining the echannel at this pace. Good control. He was spraying around. On this pitch new ball is doing all sorts of things. Abbas is still troubling them with seam movement.  But has to land it wel.

[Austin 3:!6]

This Gay clown, cant run...cant bat.

 

Why they dropped Dom Sibley?

[Lone Wolf]

This guy could hit 150k with white ball.  Slingy action as well.  Though he doesn't gets bounce more of a skiddy customer

Ubaid bowled well in less helpful conditions at PoS.  I found him reasonable on test debut

 

Certainly more to work with.

Why they dropped Dom Sibley?

AN extremely low ceiling batsman. Not sure what they see in him. Last 10 years they have these kind of  low ceiling players opening for ENgland. Rory burns, 

 

In the last 12 or 13 years

 

Crawley 3114 runs 30.52 average

Rory burns 1789 runs 30.32 avge

SIbley 1042 runs 28.94 average

Jennings 755 runs 25.16 average

 

 

They had Lees, Carberry, Denly, Hameed

Duckett 39 is he highest

 

 

 

best averaged openers  were unconventional openers

 

Root 6 matches 41.70 average

Ben stokes 3 matches 165.00 average

Leach 2 matches 46.50 averae

 

 

[vvvslaxman]

Skiddy bowler like him shouldn't be bowling too short. Ball just sat up for Brook.

[vvvslaxman]

Brook is continuing his love affair with Pakistan. 1000 runs in 9 tests against them.

[vvvslaxman]

When the ball doesn't move this guy looks a little lost. 

[The Hound]

Why were the pooks playing three 125 kph trundlers when they had this guy in the camp

[vvvslaxman]

Mohammad imran. 78 mph 125 kph almost got Brook.But he looks around 34. Criinfo says 29.

[Vickydev]

125kph missiles from this Pakistani debutant. Normalcy resumes

He is sub 140 kmph in tests, even in t20s he touches 144kmph on effort ball
