Tickner gets the breakthrough and stops Duckett getting a century in the first session.
thank christ for that.
1/37 aren't terrible figures against the top order
Pretty much as good as Tim.
Wags and Kuggeleijn both worse.

That's the Richie Benaud yardstick acted out right there. Something like 'if you think you're in a good position, subtract two wickets from the score to check'
wasn't that Geoffrey Boycott?

Just got home from morning coaching session
Catching up, A worry to see Scott Kuggeljin playing a test he is not up to test cricket,it would have been better to blood a youngster for the experience, probably would not lose a lot short term but gain long term. -

Ordinarily the Outraged of Twitter are best ignored, but slightly conflicted feelings in this case, as they're being aggravated for a journeyman with no recent first class form to speak of. Maybe best to have gone with Duffy... or... arguably a bloke sitting 500m away watching via his WiFi.

But at least he now has a first Test wicket of Ben Stokes to further aggravate the Twitterati.

Genuine question of - which one? I have no other names leaping to mind (maybe there should be). Doug Bracewell would have been ideal (gnashing of teeth from @MN5 aside
)... others? -
