Defs down leg. Shouldn't review.

Thought Twatto got further across live tbh

 

[Ruckus]

Anderson has a hard time keeping his average below 30 doesn't he?

 

[Bahnz]

Watson veeeeery lucky there. It was close but I definitely thought that was out live.

 

[91Jmay]

Oh no, I'm heartbroken. Some random Aussies on an internet forum don't like me

Just saw a close up of the wicket. Who knitted it?

 

[NUFAN]

I have no idea why Watto doesn't think it would be a slightly good idea to never attempt to hit the full/fullish balls to fine leg. If he plays straight and offers the full face of the bats its going to help him so much.

 

[CricAddict]

Not this **** again. Give it a rest Adders.

Don't know a lot about this Aussie number 3, but reckon he looks an LBW candidate from what I've seen so far.

Nah, Wrong person. Its Benchy who has started it again here.

About as hard as an Aussie top order player does keeping his average over 35.

Because batting doesn't work like that. If your head falls across then your pad will too, and then you'll have to play around it. You can't bring your bat down straight if your leg is there so the shot he has to play to make contact hits the ball square. He's not doing it on purpose.

Just a force of habit. Hard to break out in the middle, but yeah so obvious. Was like Ponting leaning over in his twilight years in particular. Everyone knows he is doing it, even him, really difficult to change though.

The ball is swinging, but they want a spinner on after 10 overs?

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Watson looking like a rabbit.

No, it's a multi (deliberate pun) page dislike.

Nasser called for an early look at spin after 5 overs. Ridiculous.

 

[Bahnz]

Watson does get hit on his pads a bit, doesn't he?
