In the last 14 matches in Asia, the visiting captain has called incorrectly all 14 times.

No wonder teams can't win

If Gary doesn't provide me runs against Bangladesh his career will probably be over. GARY DON'T LET ME DOWN MATE!

And yes the runs HE scores are more important to MY reputation than to his ;)

[Bill Manspeaker]

you know I actually want Ballance to succeed just for you PB haha

just not against Australia. I like seeing him make runs against anyone else


Azhar Ali scored a triple century against the Windies in the 1st test of that series. 302 not out

Pakistan 3/579 dec

Windies 2/174 atm

just a run fest

Day/Night test too so the bowlers just aren't used to it yet ;) Beware Australia, Pakistan are coming to get you this summer.

it's a little surprising cos the bowlers dominated the day/night test down here. different ground/conditions/pitch though

[PowerBug]

Cook, Duckett, Root, Ballance, Stokes, Bairstow, Ali, Woakes, Rashid, Batty, Broad

If ever in doubt, pick 11 blokes that can bat :P Yes, that is Ben Stokes at 5 and Stuart Broad at 11.

And why not pick a 39 year old spinner!

Gareth Batty hasn't played a test match in 11 years. He last played vs Bangladesh in June 2005.

He lives across the road, was best mates with his brother during primary school and played cricket/footy with them basically every day for 7 years :P

Safe to say that they kinda got smashed today though ahaha, although this Short kid did alright!

Oh no

I haven't seen the catches but Gary's two at short leg must've landed right in the stomach and lodged itself there to the point where they've called lost ball. #BigBoyBallance
