Just bat fucking properly boys. It isn't an enjoyable watch though this is it. We no longer have the luxury of making any kind of mistake what so ever. It has to be a squeaky clean chase. Another 4 as I type
Yep. Until we're 6 down, we've got actual batsmen at the crease and it's still possible. But we can't afford any more mistakes.

Basically the FOW from now have to be like 5/180, 6/210, 7/225, etc. These two need to go very deep.

Need to keep an eye on Watt as he loves bowling the ball wayyyy before the crease.

That was a weird incident with Burl.
Would have been interesting if he bowled Burl there, the Scots wouldn’t have let that slide I don’t think.

I feel sorry for Gumbie. He's never ever faced anything like that pace from Sole.

Well you can crank up the bowling machine or get GB to throw sidearm or get a guy to sidearm off 17m. Plenty ways to prepare for real pace.

I hope Gumbie gets more opportunities, he has shown some promise.

Sidearm has revolutionised batting.

Is he better than Madande?

With the gloves he absolutely is. There's a lot of potential with the bat and he looks organised. I genuinely think his height counts against him though when facing genuine pace
