Just seen Denly's ATG drop, on the news.

No such thing as an easy catch they say.

Apart from that one.
I always say that everybody's right.

Denly has shelled countless catches in the team, so why was it him fielding in a shortish position that clearly isnt saving a single, in this test? .


Stokes shelled a few as well though, he's usually pretty solid in the field. Tired and lacking concentration, perhaps?

Guardian player ratings.


Broad: 'A second test hundred continues to elude him'. :lmao

Unbelievable that once he was a number 8 and close to being considered a bowling all-rounder. That hundred he scored will always have an asterisk against it, sadly, but he has 12 test fifties and a batting average that was approaching 30 at one point.

Now he's a walking wicket.
