Time to move on from Conway and Blundel both are walking wkts atm.
I bet Will Young is feeling sick .Drop Blundell, make Conway keep wicket and bat in the middle order to try and rebuild his confidence. Young slots in to open. Latham is captain so he's just gonna have to do better. Simples

@canefan we have a problem with catching - I'd rather pick the best gloveman in the country and runs are a bonus.
The boys in the field are at fault there...

Blundell has had catching issues for a while now whilst Conway is a part timer

Nah Conway adds no more than Blundel with the gloves new WK ,Conway doesn’t need to worry about WK as well.
Conway goes away and sorts out those horrible technique problems he has even batting in the middle order they will produce the same results. -

That’s is not Blundel he has been untidy for a while.
So agree pick the best WK. -

That feels like an Umpire making a "brave" call based on having DRS as insurance.
As soon as the finger went up it was out
One problem with DRS. -
Here’s my prediction, we get a few more runs but England will need less than 60 to win.
We snag a few wickets in Englands chase by taking all our catches but England win by 7 wickets 😀

One problem with DRS.Looked highish but as soon as the umpire gave it, there was never going to be a question.

India looking more like a blip....
Or England’s game is just better than ours in the conditions that they love to play in.

Fuck I would have all those BC players catching 100 balls with out a drop all week you drop one,and you start again until you reach a set target without a drop.
It’s not the first time we have fielded like this. I’m sure they practice catching at least once a day? -

Repetition creates results it is the only way to create good habits and enhances concentration, I don’t think they practice enough, if you drop 8 catches a lot of those regulation sitters in an innings.

India also felt like a series where growing issues like Conway & Blundell were able to be papered over by the seamers, then Santner, then Ajaz.
We got away with Blundell dropping (Pant?) with an absolute sitter v India. Here the fielding just got dealt to in reply.
