Colin Cribb is a double negative and therefore sounds good

Our three main seamers are all foreign-born, I've just realised. A Kiwi, a Mick & a Bajan.

If Trott was playing the natives would be in a minority in the XI.

On a positive note, Watson seems to have gone back to that rocking movement in his footwork which he was using a few years back when he was scoring a lot of runs. Dunno why he ever stopped doing it tbh.

 

[Prince EWS]

Good visual posting from wiff.

England really need to bowl dry

 

[Prince EWS]

Does a 90mph half volley qualify as a zinger pie?

Not very likely with this attack. Unless Aus keep donating wickets, they'll pass 300 easily. Jordan for Finn must go some way to making this the weakest ODI attack we've ever put out.

It actually makes me happy when we keep picking foreign born players now because it seems to wind people up no end. Very funny.

not bad

 

[Prince EWS]

not bad

Would've been better if they'd invented Zinger Pies a few years earlier and I could've said it during the Zinger-fastball-sponsored Big Bash. Damn you KFC.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Enjoys a half-volley, does Stokes.

Beautifully dispatched by Twatto too, tbf.

 

[91Jmay]

Stokes hasn't bowled a decent ball yet.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ha, as if by magic...

Proper length, bit of bounce, seams in.

& then another. There you go, Benjamin. S'not rocket surgery, is it?

 

[Prince EWS]

I hope Luke Wright comes on in for his first bowl in the 41st over and bowls a five over spell. He was almost unique in the cricketing world as a genuine part-timer death option; his bowling style has changed a lot since those days though unfortunately.

Yeah, we went to bouncer/yorker after seeing the pitch had good bounce.

Solid start from Bops. Shouldn't Buttler be standing up to him though?

 

[91Jmay]

Great shot that.

i think clarke has decided he really doesn't care about batting normally today

 

[Spikey]

he was like that the other game
