See what the Speed Demon can do now.

Oh God, Chappell, give us a break with the "declare and don't give the opening batsmen the lunch break to prepare" ****. Does that even make any difference?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Devil Cracks

 

[Starfighter]

Does that even make any difference?

Statistically no. It's merely the criticism you'll get if you lose a wicket in a tiny session that drives such thinking.

There's some merit to it. But as long as you don't declare right on lunch it doesn't really give them time to prepare. Better to come out and bat for 20 mins after lunch and have the England openers wondering all Lunch break when they're going to bat.

Paine for the 100 yo

 

[Burgey]

That bouncer hitting Cunmins on the elbow reminded me of the footage from the first episode of Forged in Fire where Grieg did the same to Lillee and Fletcher told him to give him another one, to his ultimate detriment.

 

[cricman]

If Australia bat close to Tea, they'll get to what 775-800?

 

[Burgey]

Be looking for 700-750 I reckon

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

When are the sub fielders coming on?

 

[Burgey]

Broad should be embarrassed watching Overton’s effort with a cracked rib in this game compared with his own.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The WACA doesn;t need to end it like this

 

[cricman]

Low Key - Cummins batting is a big reason it's 2-0

 

[Starfighter]

He gave that a nice club.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Top shot Cummins

 

[vcs]

Awesome hit from Cummins.

 

[Burgey]

I think heyll declare with a 300 lead or so. About a half hour after lunch or thereabouts.

 

[TNT]

This is exactly how it should end, preferable England bowled out cheaply today.

It was sir

 

[Starfighter]

Just looked up what the worst innings figures for an Englishman is. Turns out Broad's got quite a way to go to reach that (Tich Freeman's 0/169)
