*Official* Fourth Test at Trent Bridge

[Son Of Coco]

9/150?

I'll take it.

 

[King Pietersen]

Starc is so weird. Bowls so much ****e, and then mixes in the odd unplayable 94mph late swinging yorker. Bloody frustrating to watch.

 

[ImpatientLime]

yeah buttler ain't a test match batsman, not by a long shot.

 

[Flem274*]

nevill looks so quintessentially modern everyday australian

 

[Zinzan]

You have to play so so late when playing Starc. Expansive drives with limited footwork is high-risk.

 

[CaptainGrumpy]

An irony is the better Australia bowl in this session, the more likely Australia is to lose within 2 days.

Not this innings. It's genuinely been a good match from him unlike his previous jammy efforts which fit your description.

 

[91Jmay]

Starc bowling well, some loose shots though. Buttler needs some runs at the Oval.

Exactly why he's so brutal in LO forms. Batsmen going hard, early and on the up.

 

[Flem274*]

who would you actually drop buttler for?

exactly

 

[King Pietersen]

Could give Bairstow the gloves and bring in Taylor? Not saying we should, but it's an option.

****ing hell, that is filthy. What a **** morning this has been so far.

 

[Spikey]

Stokes couldn't get himself going, says Slater, probably because every ball he faced was in a totally different location to the one before

 

[_Ed_]

What happened to Davies? Seemed a good prospect for a while.

 

[91Jmay]

Sheesh this is poor batting. So sloppy, Starc has bowled some nice balls but such **** batting. Should be batting them out if the game. The deep batting line up is such a myth with such a hot/cold lower middle order and leaky top order.

 

[Clayton100]

Well this morning is a bit of an anticlimax

 

[GIMH]

bah.

 

[91Jmay]

who would you actually drop buttler for?

exactly

Well I'd think the bloke who has more runs in this innings than Buttler has in the series would be one option.

 

[ajdude]

this is gonna be a repeat of last test isn't it

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Excellent, 2 day test still highly likely

 

[Howe_zat]

Root's innings still on a different plane of existence to everyone else in the match
