GregP Jan 2021 1:28pm, 23 Jan 2021 124,827 posts	0 GregP Oscar - did you ever see/comment on this? It’s from 2018 at Chelmsford (found it when I was looking for something else just now):
stuart little Jan 2021 3:51pm, 23 Jan 2021 1,886 posts	0 stuart little Sibbers is an interesting one - of all the openers England have tried, he looks the most likely to have the mental capacity to open and bat a long time. Still not sure his technique is quite test quality though.

Ocelot Spleens Jan 2021 5:45pm, 23 Jan 2021 29,904 posts	0 Ocelot Spleens Was it a fast pitch with someone whizzing it down, so a fine edge is best left to a narrow slip?

Dooogs Jan 2021 6:37pm, 23 Jan 2021 6,446 posts	0 Dooogs Dodgy keeper is my first thought. Some sort of deterrent to make the batsman eschew the scoop shot? ( although I'd place him nearer the boundary if I was setting the field)
Ocelot Spleens Jan 2021 7:13pm, 23 Jan 2021 29,905 posts	0 Ocelot Spleens dodgy keeper...the other fielder would be even further back....
