It's my birthday today lads

Why is it that when memehit players like Hales and Malan get selected for tests, they bat at a ridiculously slow strike rate?

how do you go from being right on top and a 1st innings lead of 170 to this?

>>77896368
a lot of them are slog or block players, either smash it to the boundary or defend. compare that to someone like root, who constantly rotates the strike so he keeps on scoring even when not hitting boundaries

>>77896369
>West Indies fielding

>>77896368
Same as Buttler.They have this idea that they have to think "like a test batsman" but in reality they've been called up to play their natural game.

It's what happens when celebrities blurt it out to everyone they know and millions of redditors seem to think they're welcome

>>77897866
haha imagine if extras outscored every member of a national team during a very important game that would be a laugh

"Here's the plan Kraigg, I'll open the bowling"

"No skip, allow me"

>>77897875
