Listening on radio 4 whilst sitting out in the garden sunshine out...bliss

 

[Prince EWS]

pretty sure it was cric123.

Probably a Murphy multi then.

 

[TheJediBrah]

pretty sure it was cric123.

pretty sure he's a deliberate troll

 

[GIMH]

Warner. What a hack.

 

[Swingpanzee]

da **** was that shot by Warner

 

[dooks]

He isn't you pretty player, very gritty type of batting and can be relied on when batting conditions are tough. I for one love his style of batting.

I've always thought he looks awkward coz he appears to play late on the shot and significantly rolls fwd with his centre of gravity.

Different back lift too. But if it works, it works

 

[Cabinet96]

Warne coming on Sky is a good reminder to get CW commentary up.

 

[Swingpanzee]

like last innings, Wood seems to be a marked man for Warner

 

[weldone]

Isn't Rogers' highest score (119) too low?

yeah he plays very late. I remember when he scored his maiden ton in Durham in 2013, he was playing pretty every ball so late. Was an awesome knock in the midst of a Broad god-spell.

Warner looks completely out of form but no more than England's bowlers - they all look sluggish and Oz need to cash in

 

[Swingpanzee]

.....

heart skipped a few beats

 

[NUFAN]

Isn't Rogers' highest score (119) too low?

No it is exact as it should be. He has never shown that he can make more than 119 in Tests.

 

[Prince EWS]

Isn't Rogers' highest score (119) too low?

He only actually has four tons so it's not that weird IMO.

 

[Compton]

I think it was Boycott who talked about this and said he thinks Rogers doesn't convert enough 50s into 100s and 100s into big scores because he concentrates so hard to get in, then sort of over-relaxes once he gets past 50.

Heart in the mouth stuff

His "peak" was years ago so any runs are a bonus

Ya Cardiff test was a good example.

 

[dooks]

Wood seems to generate a lot of speed from a short run up

 

[Swingpanzee]

Ya Cardiff test was a good example.

?? he didn't over relax he panicked wayy too much and forgot how to bat after getting into the 90s
