Well played Lendl Simmons

We needed someone to remind us that test cricket is not dead, and something that our youth should aim to play.

A solid innings at the top of the order is what we needed, well done.

Simmons for MOM

in to the record books now, well done young man

Lendl Simmons' innings is the joint-longest in terms of balls without a boundary in men's T20 World Cup. In terms of strike rate, only two players had a lower strike rate in a men's T20 World Cup innings after facing 30 or more balls.

I think he played well. the glue or thr=e anchor at the top of the innings is what we need.

yeah, but Simmons wants to play the Sri Lanka tests, so he's staking a claim here

Simmons played the anchor roll while the rest went after the bowling a bit too slow though and looked out of touch. What about the rest of the batters?

In reply to azadtnt

yeah he played well. MOM for sure.

The anchor role is often an underrated virtue in T20 cricket, Simmons showed us why it is important.

He really stabilised the top order
