Give Kane & Ross a go while they're hot.

There has never been a result in a match where both sides scored 550+ ftr

Argh this is beyond infuriating to watch. Just gutlessly surrendering the hard won advantage.

Harmlessly yes, aimlessly sure...but gutlessly? Not sure that's fair. 85-2 still, that's a start I'd have taken.

I find with Lee he's actually genuinely good when talking about quick bowling. Doesn't have the greatest voice for commentary though....

 

[Daemon]

bowling full isn't a good idea but bowling short is an even worse one

Yeah definitely. They seem bent on doing on or the other though.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

plenty of henry action p0rn

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Yeah definitely. They seem bent on doing on or the other though.

There's pretty much no margin for error on this surface. Loads of the boundaries for both sides were off reasonable deliveries.

 

[hendrix]

much better Bracewell.

reckon Craig could be useful with an in-out field.

 

[Flem274*]

one of henry's strengths as a kid was his accuracy, so it's really annoying to see him bowl one or two wayward ones an over for six months.

Scoring has slowed the last few overs. Game is drifting #channel9thoughts

Totally agree. Lee is outstanding on fast bowling and gives the impression he is a student of it. I love listening to him about pace. Just can get dreary in tone.

As opposed to Hussey, who despite being one of the greatest batting craftsmen we've seen, offers absolutely nothing but cliches. And is even drearier.

Only thanks to Brendan's fields tbh, he ain't prepared to lose to win.

 

[harsh.ag]

How does Craig not get hit for more boundaries?

 

[SteveNZ]

Pidg needs to get it right here. Big opportunity to further prove he's a 3rd/4th innings ace up our sleeve.

 

[Flem274*]

ok still bowling dross we'll check him again at Adelaide.

if we could just get two quiet overs for him his confidence would shoot up and he'd start landing them. seen it disturbingly often with him.

 

[dermo]

Voges doesn't get enough love for how well he plays spin, never looks troubled

 

[Dan]

One more pole pls

 

[Flem274*]

at the rate they're scoring without risk they'll set a total quick enough if they stay in. when do we get nervous?

100 lead imo. starc might explode.

henry bowling well here.

I probably wouldn't get nervous unless they're both still out there by drinks in Session 3. Not a lot of batting after this and the lead isn't even 50 yet.
