Quote from: Villan For Life on August 19, 2018, 05:28:57 PMA damning statistic quoted on TMS just now. We average more in white ball cricket than test cricket in the last year. We average 287 in tests and 301 in 50 over cricket. Utter shite test batting.I didn't know that but you can hardly say that it's surprising.

Looks like a nasty finger injury for Bairstow
If we start losing, the mentality seems to be to give in and focus on the next match; as if it is all throw-away and doesn't matter.

Once India had put a decent first innings score on the board and we lost a couple of early wickets, it was if they decided that it was game over and as you say time to move on to the next one.

That must come from the captain and coach these the tone on and off the field.

Looks very sore, that.In a clutching at straws theme, Bairstows injury means that butter fingers Buttler is no longer in the slips. For a wicket keeper hes a poor slip fielder. He dropped one this morning and yesterday he actually ducked under a ball that was heading his way at catchable height. I dont think that Ive ever seen that happen before.
