Has bowled like an Englishman

Has bowled like an Englishman

This is actually how I described his performance to my dad yesterday.

Could tell he wasn't going to be threatening a few overs into it yesterday. Pace obviously lower than the other guys but he didn't start with great control of his length either.

 

[Burgey]

Well deserved for Cummins. Big effort after being crook yesterday.

 

[Cabinet96]

It's annoying none of our batsman from 7 down have a defensive shot they can play against short stuff. Makes them so vulnerable to getting out even if the stuff they're facing isn't that hostile.

 

[Burgey]

Curran with a decent Blue Steel in the profile pic.

Do you Poms just breed entire generations of boy band wannabes or something? Embarrassing.

 

[Cow]

woakes was through the shot before Cummins even released it.

It's Pat Cummins... not Shoaib Akhtar

 

[stephen]

Absolutely agree re:Bird. Just not enough in this wicket to make his 135kph threatening and doesn't have enough control to apply pressure.

He's looked as unthreatening as Woakes.

 

[stephen]

I still think Bird will end up with Cook's wicket.

Starc choose the right match to be inured for.

he chose the best city to be outside the stadium and not in it.

 

[Burgey]

Will be missing most of tomorrow’s play as I spend the day with the family at Watson’s Bay Boutique Hotel, a Harbourside establishment with access to an adjacent beach which, while not great by Sydney standards, is far superior to anything in either Melbourne or he whole of the UK.

 

[Gnske]

Good to see that Dharmasena's eye is as trained as ever

 

[Burgey]

“60,000* fans roar” says Bill.

*45,000. Fmd they inflate the crowds at this joint.

 

[Cabinet96]

Today needs a jammy Broad 30 odd.

 

[Cabinet96]

All of Hazlewood's wickets this innings have involved edges that were undetected by the on field umpire.

 

[Gnske]

Wow I sure hope Dharmasena intervenes here with this aggressive short bowling, Broad is being bullied here!

 

[Cow]

Look at the Aussie crowd.. love seeing a batsmen getting hit in the head. Crocodile tears confirmed.

LBW is in play on this pitch more than any other in Aus.

 

[Cabinet96]

Hopefully Cook doesn't change his game. Carrying his bat is more important than getting a big lead.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Always play for the not out, especially if you're an opener.

Anyway, who the last to carry their bat in the Ashes?

 

[irfan]

Hopefully Cook doesn't change his game. Carrying his bat is more important than getting a big lead.

Wait... whaaat, surely a big lead is more important
