I can see what you mean about stewart's actually. Nevertheless, he was a fine keeper/batsman and I wish we had someone around like him now. Hopefully, Geraint Jones will in time score as heavily.
Talking of Jones, did you see today's play? I thought he kept very tidily, conceded only four byes just before lunch today, which, out of a mammoth 750+ total, is very impressive. Until he conceded those byes, it was the largest Test total ever with no byes conceded. When you consider how well Read kept earlier on in the tour, England are certainly lucky to have two such good keepers.
However, I heard on the BBC website that Jones dropped Lara off a difficult leg side chance when he was on 359. Despite watching most of today's play, i didn't see this, and none of the replays on Sky showed it, so I'm wondering if it really was a chance, or if the BBC are being exacting in their demands of a wickie. Can anyone who saw it help?
Also, sensible knock by Jones, pretty nasty situation to come into in your first Test match!
