We still have an impatient useless flid at number three, but I am sure Bairstow being moved up a single place will fix things.
Seem to recall Atherton batted at three in his first test.

Stoneman has looked solid enough, cook has, another in than vain might help. Hales throwing the bat for a quick 40 odd achieves nothing.

Re: cricket thread
Haseeb Hameed should be back near the line up as well.
You would love him.................he batted about 150 balls for 10 runs in one county game this season.

Re: cricket thread
His first test he batted behind Gooch and Stephenson, neither of whom played in the sixth test where he batted behind Curtis and moxon, all three of them made ducks if I recall.Mabbsy wrote:Strength in depth back then, I wonder how many South Africans we had in the line up ?Randall wrote:Who remembers tavare batting hours on end in Perth for 8?

Smith played, he batted four, made 101 out of very little in the first knock, recall wisden saying Smith made another hundred on the burning deck.
Sure second innings of the sixth test, even with three openers, gower went in first and was bowled shouldering arms.. Stormed out of the press conference and his job.

Re: cricket thread
Meanwhile Australia's new number 6 has a lower Test average than 7, 8 and 9.
Statistically the worst number 6 in Test history.

Re: cricket thread
Aussie batting ain't so hot, put under pressure of a big score I think they could fall apart just as easy.
