Obscene AC, do mean it was nakedly obvious.

Haven't seen much of him this series, but from what I've see today I can't see him as a long term England opener. He is way too cumbersome and moves about all over the place before the ball is delivered. I think he'll really struggle against most half decent international attacks. Think he also really struggles to go from attack to defence and vice versa and can only do one or the other effectively. Don't think he's cut out to do much of the latter.
300 runs at 58 in the series, so at least well done for that. Can be extremely graceful in playing his drives, so I'm not sure I'd describe him as cumbersome. Not a great bowling side against him, but testing conditions. Good series at least.

Posted: Mon Jun 13, 2016 3:04 amCurrently Bairstow, despite a couple of dropped catches, but if Anderson takes a decent haul in this innings (3fer or so) and England win, I reckon that'll swing it his way (pun intended).
Who for SL? Pradeep or Silva I guess, depending on whether Silva gets another score in this innings (so far so good). Chandimal might also be in the running with a decent score in this innings, especially if SL bat out the draw.
