But he didn't get to 50 so nothing to convert. Wise move.

my thoughts too


but actually i am quite interested in seeing how high his 50s column can get. might break the record lol

 

[ajdude]

everytime i look up olivier's bowled a half tracker/half volley on leg so it blows my mind that he's going for less than 1 an over haha

 

[mr_mister]

That was good from Warne about Athers

 

[mr_mister]

i quite enjoyed that story about Geoff Pullar

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah those stories were all good ones, Bumble can be irritating but I'd say he entertains more than irritates on balance.

 

[mr_mister]

I think Bumble's great. Seems like a charming character

 

[91Jmay]

Olivier is a good option in these conditions considering he is like their 6th choice seamer.

SA well and truly in the game here, we've batted meekly and very poorly.

 

[mr_mister]

Ali's due a good knock though

Not the way they bat. Can't see them getting more than 220 in last innings. Be nice to get another 75-100 though.

Set them 280 and they need a ton from someone to win the game.

If Faf chases this, I will put him up as my avatar for a week.

Root's standard deviation must be a couple of standard deviations lower than the average standard deviation for batsmen with his average

There's no better incentive for a player.

Get the word out.

Cook is actually quite close here. Has 55 to Tendulkar's 68.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Poor from Bairstow.

 

[Howe_zat]

Don't want to make it easy for ourselves do we

 

[OverratedSanity]

Bad innings by Bairstow. Almost seemed like he was thinking England have enough. They probably do but it's still poor.
