Posted: Tue Dec 29, 2015 4:29 pmwell done Finn that's probably the wicket that wins the game.

Posted: Tue Dec 29, 2015 4:30 pmWouldn't have thought it was for Steyn to do NWM duties seeing as his shoulder is a problem.

TBH none of England keepers are great against turn.
All look terrible against spin, good against pace though.
Was a wicked delivery though. Ball pitches outside of off-stump, turns and bounces towards middle stump. Bairstow had no chance getting that ball when he was standing wide of off-stump.

Posted: Tue Dec 29, 2015 7:44 pmMay have been discussed already, but I note that England haven't had a test stumping since 2012. Guess we haven't had a decent keeper since then either as Prior was getting towards the end of his career.

Which begs the question, what was he doing standing wide outside off stump to an off spin bowler turning it into the stumps?
His poor positioning and technique make it look hard and a proper keeper sends the batter back. A part time pretend keeper misses or drops the ball....
I'm this game so far he has failed with chances to dismiss arguably the best player in the world and another guy who's last series vs England involved us watch him bat for 2 days after he was dropped.
Can't afford to regularly drop key players.

Is that true? An amazing statistic if correct. Especially as opposing batsmen love to tuck into Moeen Ali by coming half way down the wicket.

Posted: Tue Dec 29, 2015 8:15 pmMust mention the awful attendance at this game. Holiday season in a tourist attraction and they get next to no one. If this was held in England would be a sell out.
