lol usman pretty much did say thatI'm going to **** me to no end when one of the aussies comes out and bangs on about how even though we're batting for a draw, the players still need to be attacking, play their natural game, look to score etc etc. And then all the guys get out trying to hit boundaries and score because that's the way they bat, ra ra ra. It's complete bull ****. The way you get through it is to bat like de Villiers/Du Plesis did in Adelaide. Not looking to score, not playing at anything that's not attacking the stumps, just dead bat the **** out of it. The pitch is an absolute road, if you give the bowlers nothing they're really going to struggle to take your wicket. But we wont, we'll go down swinging and ****ing suck, and it's gonna piss me off so much. /endrant
Yeah, given Australia are probably playing for the draw, you'd have to be a pretty stupid left hander to be driving out of the footmarks given how wide they are.He is not going to be bowling into the footmarks though
well we do have some stupid left handersYeah, given Australia are probably playing for the draw, you'd have to be a pretty stupid left hander to be driving out of the footmarks given how wide they are.
yes he should have hung around for prior to get his decade****ing moronic stuff.
yeah **** games in the balance here****ing moronic stuff.
just playing his natural game ****an encouraging start from watson
If everything ever went perfectly (lost 4 wickets or less today) we'd be about 300-320 by stumps. Last day chase wouldn't be a race against time.Go for the runs or the draw? We have enough time to make 600 I'd say, especially with the fields England will set
If they wanted to play for Root's double why the **** did they send the block 20 times and slog once merchant Bairstow? Who's shown in limited overs matches he hasn't got a clue in that sort of situation. He sucked up all the strike, scored **** all.yes he should have hung around for prior to get his decade
