Michael Gough was terrific in the last West Indies test, but I agree about illingworth.

Even worse than the umpiring has been Jos Buttlers performance so far!

Got to agree with this, they should’ve stuck with foakes the last time they had him in the team. It’s a bit like jobs for the boys as far as the England cricket team goes (now where else have I seen that happening.... )Top of the JES wrote: ↑Thu Aug 06, 2020 10:29 pmBest wicketkeeper batsman in the country can't even get a game, Ben Foakes is a far better keeper than Buttler.

But today Buttler made up for his previous mistakes when keeping wicket by putting on a brilliant display of attacking batting that helped along with Woakes, to gain an exciting and unexpected win for England.

But still got out playing the ridiculous reverse sweep shot. They only had to get ten more runs, with an hours play left, Crazy.

It’s easy to criticise the shot a batsman plays when getting out. By definition it can be criticised, he got out. So it was wrong. It’s probably fairer to look at the style of player they are and judge them accordingly. His style of play was a major factor in England getting a surprising win. Best judge him by the runs he got rather than the way he got out.Chicken Dhansak wrote: ↑Sat Aug 08, 2020 8:49 pm But still got out playing the ridiculous reverse sweep shot.

Some of you know as much about cricket as you do about football

Would much rather giving Foukes time to settle in before the next Ashes. We can’t afford the leaden gloves of Butler over there.
