As long as it was not with his hand he could havve tried to knock the ball away. If the ball had hit the pad he possibly could have been out leg before wicket.
A great win. Carse's two wickets on Sunday evening blew open the top order. Test crrcket when you have two evenly balanced teams is ace. It will be interesting what happens team wise for the next test. Crawley and Pope must be under threat. Who is the next spinner? Will Atkinson be deemed fit enough to play? |

Mathematically through. One win out of the last two games should secure a home quarter final. |

Sorry, he didn't name any names and by the same token McBride and Burger also didn't feature. Gilmour and Rodney were two players who other posters had postulated as to whether they were going to be sold. |

Not sure where it has come from. Jim said some new signings are still working their way back to fitness and others - Rodney and Gilmour wouldn't play for other reasons. I suspect there will be some managing of minutes at this time or the season and maybe giving trialists game time. |

In his interview Jim said that he is looking to bring in another keeper and a striker. |

All the talk was he would play three of the five matches. There is a reasonable break before the next test so he might back up. If they then lose he might have to sit out the third test with India needing to win. Decisions, decisions. England could have Archer and Atkinson back if not for the next text then maybe the third. |

What a great win. The turning point was definitely India losing their last 7 first innings wickets for not a lot. They probably should have got 550/600+. Another plus might be that we have knackered Bumrah who did not have the same impact second time around. |

I was there as well. A packed out Headingley is always a good experience, epecially with two fairly evenly matched teams. A real shame that Brook didn't get his ton and some excellent bowling by Bumrah. If the rain stays away it should be an interesting final day. The pitch still looks good, much better than most fourth day pitches and the outfield is rapid. |

Two good victories and an excellent performance on debut by Barnard today. A change of voice and format will hopefully do the team good. Livingstone should be back soon as well to provide a few more options. |

Wing back and he is supposedly quick (according to a post on X). Definitely an area which needed strengthening. |

With his track record he should never have been appointed. A bit like expecting Bentley to produce attractive, winning football.
In both cases it was the cheap option. |

The players will know, no doubt about it. No doubt we will find out tomorrow or Friday, depending on whether the Oscar Kelly rumour is true. |

Maybe re-signings first and then the released list later? I suspect all the other out of contract players will be released. |

Hartley is a better fielder and batter than Parkinson, who is reminiscent of a wheely bin in the field and a rabbit with the bat. Parkinson is not actually playing for Kent at the moment as well. Hartley is a decent white ball cricketer.
The Old Trafford pitches have been placid and as you say the run rate in the first innings, especially the first part was pedestrian. The only real positives from the first half of the red ball season have been Harris and Hurst. At least the likes of Mahmood, Wood, Livingstone and Green should be available for the Vitality Blast when it starts. |

Watched the last 40 minuyes on YouTube and he had a few overs with the new ball. The lack of a good spinner told. Also not great when your overseas seamer bowls so few overs. |

Thanks for the reply. I'm sure the next book will be worth the wait. |

Are you planning a book about the Ogden takeover and this season? Your book about last season was really good. |
