Agree with what Atherton said about Sibley, doesn’t look international Player and with technique he has will struggle at this level. At same time he has only played three innings and should go in squad to South Africa.
there’s been many successful batsmen with iffy techniques - Cook, Graeme Smith, Steve Smith (!) to name a few. you either have the mentality to make it work or you don’t.
i hope Sibley gets a proper run, at least as many games as they gave Jennings for example. a couple of home and away series, and then we’ll know for sure if he’s got it.
I would disagree here, those players had "unorthodox" techniques. Sibley's isnt unorthodox, it's restrictive to the shots he can play.
Shit. Bob Willis has died.
very sad. i always enjoyed watching him shithouse the England players on the cricket debate thing on sky.
also a genuinely brilliant bowler, always remembered for his part in Botham’s Ashes.
RIP Bob.
Bit late on this but RIP the great man. ValeShit. Bob Willis has died.
