yeah, agree re Bairstow. If Foakes had played we could have well been 2 up now instead of 2 down.
I only saw the first session, but his drop of Head was poor at that level. -
Fair play mr wood... I've been wrong before! Batters need to take advantage.
-
@Matt-Ayles the only thing Bairstow has done this series is carry a protestor off the field
-
@Richard-Futter yes i did back the Scots who are on the brink of defeat! Yet money has been made due to setting take profit limits etc.
Trading isn't gambling!
-
Good job Woakes is such a nice bloke. Think Jimmy might have given Root a mouthful for missing that one!
-
@Matt-Ayles Did you back the Scots? I see they're down to 1.16 now, having gone out to 2.5 and more earlier. Hope so!
-
@Matt-Ayles bairstow test batting av. is 37. Foakes' is 32 so not much difference there. However, how many runs have been added to the Aus accumulated score from all of Bairstow's drops??? granted, Foakes may not have taken all of those chances but to my mind a test standard WK has been consistently undervalued by England since Jack Russell. (rant over)
-
@Martin i was having this discussion with a friend this morning. Could choosing Bairstow over Foakes cost us the Ashes?
-
Good morning session for England. They need to press home that advantage now and hopefully they'll be batting just after tea.
-
@Richard-Futter could cost us the series, 2nd test now and getting stumped in a silly way last test (as much as I hate that)
-
Two more drops from Bairstow; just not a Test quality keeper I'm afraid.
-
And he can bowl!
-
@stuart-wallace-0 It's because he can bat
-
@Matt-Ayles
Also not a fan of Dobber Woakes - just dont get it. Tongue was pick of bowlers at Lords, including getting rid of Smith in both innings yet we get Donkey Woakes. And dont tell me its because he can bat ! -
@Matt-Ayles Good plan. Netherlands can make big scores in ODIs but they're equally capable of folding for not very many. Have to say I'm not an expert on Scottish bowling, but they've done supremely well to see off some much more highly rated sides and they deserve a place in the World Cup Finals. Come on the Jocks!

Confirmation: NED must chase this down in 44 overs to qualify for the WC. Target is 278.
NED have hit 362 v Oman, 374 v WI and 315 v Zim but all 3 of those were at Harare.
Most runs conceded by Scot at this ground is 286 v Ireland. (Sri Lanka only got 245.) Thats probably why the price is as it is.
Price currently 1.4 on Scotland. If it gets to 1.8 I'll start drip backing.
-
So good to have a genuine fast bowler back in the team. Wood must be the quickest in the world just now.
-
Looks a really good batting pitch. England will need to bowl very well, otherwise it could be a long hard day in the field. Must get 3/4 wickets in the first session IMO.
