Great stat from Andy Zaltzman

“Since 2001 there have been 88 opening batsmen who have opened in 15 or more Test innings when pace was bowled.

Keaton Jennings has the worst average of those against pace at 17.2. The next worst against pace was Javed Omar of Bangladesh, who averaged 19.1.”

      - Gets out the same way too often I reckon. Those opening spots are a problem (n/m) (Other Sports) - DrDublin, Jan 24, 15:59:39
        
        Doesn;t move his feet enough and tries to drive doesn;t he. Same thing (Other Sports) - Jim, Jan 24, 16:02:40
        
        To use an old cricketing terminology, feet in a bucket. (n/m) (Other Sports) - DrDublin, Jan 24, 16:03:26
        
        Really missed Broad. Needed someone to offer something different. He might... (Other Sports) - DrDublin, Jan 24, 16:04:40
        
        I'm sure he would. Curran will probably still contribute with the bat and (Other Sports) - Jim, Jan 24, 16:07:02
        
        Great stat from Andy Zaltzman (Other Sports) - Old Git, Jan 24, 16:22:13
        
        But against spin he looks amazing. As Ed Smith said it will move (Other Sports) - Jim, Jan 24, 16:24:46
        
        Openers apart from Cook, that is... (n/m) (Other Sports) - APB, Jan 24, 17:18:34
        
        There's a bit of forward planning here, isn't there? (Other Sports) - Basil Wrathbone, Jan 24, 16:19:27
        
        This is true. Suppose the other thing they could have done is go with one spinner (n/m) (Other Sports) - DrDublin, Jan 24, 16:21:17
        
        Thats an annoying dismissal for Burns. Wasn't an edge or anything and he (Other Sports) - Jim, Jan 24, 16:48:17
        
        Oh balls. (n/m) (Other Sports) - DrDublin, Jan 24, 16:49:30
        
        Like you say, openers still a big issue. (n/m) (Other Sports) - Jim, Jan 24, 16:54:30
        
        How many f**king times - 3 down for less than 50. Always seems to happen (Other Sports) - Jim, Jan 24, 16:58:57
        
        But 44-3 is better than 30-3, so we should focus on the positives. (n/m) (Other Sports) - Sir Thomas, Jan 24, 17:06:21
        
        Absolutely, it's a work in progress this innings. (n/m) (Other Sports) - DrDublin, Jan 24, 17:16:53
        
        But not for Stokes, 48-5. (n/m) (Other Sports) - DrDublin, Jan 24, 17:28:18
        
        or Moeen. This is embarrasingly poor. Is Ramprakash still stealing a living in (Other Sports) - Jim, Jan 24, 17:29:37
        
        Verging on pathetic now. I shall say all out for 73. (n/m) (Other Sports) - DrDublin, Jan 24, 17:30:05
        
        Foakes and Curran will get a few is my prediction. They are not yet fully experienced (Other Sports) - Jim, Jan 24, 17:30:51
        
        Just being blown away aren't we! Men vs boys out there atm. (n/m) (Other Sports) - DrDublin, Jan 24, 17:39:04
        
        Extra bounce there. (n/m) (Other Sports) - DrDublin, Jan 24, 17:00:18
        
        Annoying wickets to give away though. Bairstow a bit unlucky. (Other Sports) - Jim, Jan 24, 17:03:37
        
        Uprooted. This is turning into a bit of a disaster (n/m) (Other Sports) - DrDublin, Jan 24, 17:14:06
        
        Yes. You've got to question the preparation or mental application (Other Sports) - Jim, Jan 24, 17:17:16
