Report sounds like bollocksYou have to wonder about the standard of the opposition in those tour games too. Everyone bar Wade made scores. And S Smith got a hundred. Need I say more?Tour game not over yet.
Lyon 26 overs @ 3.8 an over
Agar 14 overs @ 4.7 an over
1 wicket apiece
Monty pick of the bowlers for the Poms in the first innings
I was a bit disappointed Agar didn't get his hundred, and also thought it was unfortunate he got a few wickets in his first test. He could have set even more records: not only being the first #11 to make a test century, he might have joined that rare club of players getting a hundred on debut, but a hundred in their *only* game!
He showed at Lords what I think we could reasonably expect from any 19o kid lots of promise, but inexperience leading to soft dismissals and an inability to keep set batters under control.
My likely 11 for the next game:
- Watson
- Rogers
- Hughes
- Clarke
- Smith
- Warner
- Haddin
- Siddle
- Harris
- Bird
- Lyon
Game 4:
- Cowan
- Watson
- Kwaja
- Clarke
- Smith
- Warner
- Haddin
- Siddle
- Starc
- Lyon
- Bird
Game 5:
- Cowan
- Warner
- Clarke
- Smith
- Watson
- Wade (vc)
- Agar
- Harris
- Starc
- Bird
- Lyon
I think that just about gives everyone a run while still dropping everyone bar Clarke and Watson
. It should certainly avoid having any batter play more than 4 consecutive innings in the same position in the order!
