Been away oot lubricating the wheels of capitalism without too much overt grimacing, and I come back to witness a scorecard of 71/5.
Overt grimacing begins.
Holy ****.
Saw the wickets on the news. Minging

The Jennings wicket is absurd. It's almost as if he's never seen a cricket ball before. Boys mind is scrambled.
His concentration is in question for a top order batsman.
One century, and one half century (the same innings, of course), and an average of 23.16 is more Chris Tavare than Marcus Trescothick or Graham Gooch, although at least Tavare's slow and dull accumulation at least meant he was holding up an end for a shotmaker to nudge the total along, and bore the fielders into torpor.
Tavare:
M 31
Runs 1755
HS 149
Ave 32.5
100s 2
50s 12

Agreed, he just looks lost at this level.
Point of order re cricket stats:- once you reach your ton, it replaces your fifty. For example Jennings ton was in mumbai, his fifty was in chennai.
Very good interview with Gooch, looking at the batting issues, on Radio 4 right now (0727).
