SPR Aug 2020 6:58pm, 21 Aug 2020 30,957 posts	0 SPR I agree he should get more time. It's not like challengers are beating down the door ATM.

Wriggling Snake Aug 2020 7:02pm, 21 Aug 2020 28,118 posts	0 Wriggling Snake It's not that Burns has got out for low scores, part of the job as an opener, it's the manner of them, the bowlers haven' had to work very hard for his wicket.

TRO Saracen Aug 2020 7:47pm, 21 Aug 2020 21,738 posts	0 TRO Saracen Root must be the easiest wicket though. No matter how fluent he looks you know he’ll cough his wicket up before making a defining score.

It was dark, near as dammit, and one of the bowlers was coming in off a huge run, or so it appeared from the (floodlit) tennis courts on the other side of the car park.
