For someone who is supposed to make starts and give it away all the time Latham's 5 tons in 22 tests seems pretty good?

Average being a bit meh is probably to do with a fairly low high score for a good opener. But eh he's 24

Vijay is basically a right handed Jadeja with the ball.

See there's comments like this about Jadeja and then you look and he averages 23 with the ball

Don't get him

TBF the two against Zimbabwe don't really count. That was one of the worst attacks seen in a decade.

he got his tons in a row which makes it look better than it does following him knock by knock. two in a row in the UAE and then two in a row in Zimbabwe

heh there we go. another high 40s score on the cards.

I think that might​ be not out because it's clipped the helmet

 

[Flem274*]

yeah that's out.

Ash finally making the ball talk. If he gets a wicket, he will make it sing soon.

Was about to say Latham is in his danger zone.

Really hope we get Taylor quickly, he starts pretty poorly.

good time for him to get out

edit: or not. I was right after all. Happy days

 

[mr_mister]

does he get 5 runs coz it hit the helmet lol

 

[Shri]

This sucks. Got about 10 gigs on my datacap remaining and I am saving it to watch Luke Cage on the 30th. Can't stream the game.

 

[duffer]

Never knew about that rule.

Weak.

 

[morgieb]

Why does hitting the helmet make it not out?

 

[OverratedSanity]

It was technically not out though, wasn't it, since it hit the fielder's helmet? Or is it considered part of his body?

Oh nice! Didn't realise Luke cage was out so soon

 

[StephenZA]

Learn something new everyday....

 

[OverratedSanity]

Heh well, Taylor time will have to wait.

 

[Flem274*]

should have tried to catch it with more intent

 

[Howe_zat]

does he get 5 runs coz it hit the helmet lol

Only if it's left on the ground.

Never knew about that rule.

Weak.

Why does hitting the helmet make it not out?

Because helmets for fielders are there to protect them, not to assist them in taking catches.

similar to catching it in your cap. unfair advantage
