123/5
Well that was nice to listen to on the radio after the torture of the fielding period.

Now that I've sat down to watch we can at least be grateful it's not 20/4 which I had worries it would be. Our bowlers very occassionally found something there and I had an awful feeling Australia would make it look like a different deck.

Still, sounded like all three pacers bowled poorly during that mini-session so if they correct it they may still do the above.

Are you talking about his backfoot punch for three. If so it is uncanny you have made this point as I came online only to make the following point:

Guptill's back foot punch/drive is flawed, he is highly robotic as he plays the shot - this will make the number and range of deliveries he can successfully execute the shot against limited.

Look for him to get out at least once this series sparring off the back foot or back foot driving against one of the pace men.

Good call PEWS - very impressed by your post. :)

Yeah that's the shot I was talking about.

The thing about starc is that he bowls with a slightly horizontal seam. The release is good enough that he gets good swing, but he's never going to get anything to nip off the deck like boult can. I'm interested to see if it's something he can fix without sacrificing pace.
