When the beard is the destroyer

Moeen ******* disaster Ali 4-0-11-2. This must be an alternate universe.

Moeen Ali can bowl ffs

 

[Spikey]

if you're gonna promote yourself above Maxwell, you probably shouldnt get yourself out reverse sweeping

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Thats such a stupid shot in the circumstances

 

[GotSpin]

What the hell kinda batting line up is this

 

[Spark]

Can't think off the top of my head of a less impressive looking Australian team in the time I've watched cricket (not the same as worst, though)

although.........

 

[stephen]

Well this is as embarrassing as it was expected.

 

[Borges]

That is a lot better, though Maxwell need not have waited till his last over to tell Moeen what he thinks of his spin bowling.

 

[trundler]

According to Ian Chappell, a team's total can be estimated by doubling the score in the 30th over. How defendable is 280 on this ground?

Not defendable. Maxwell needs to hit one of his ungodly peaks for my beloved Australia to have a chance.

He's no Virat

 

[wpdavid]

Starc, Hazelwood and Cummins all injured. Only 7 months too late boys.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

There goes the hope for 250

 

[Starfighter]

Of course he gets out immediately after I've turned off the telly.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Found out that Sky has a graphic measuring the batsman's and the whole batting side's 'intent'.


Wonder if Warne suggested it?

 

[91Jmay]

Not seen a ball. Slow spinners pitch or **** batting?

Very **** batting. Particularly from the captain - reverse sweep straight to point.

Unusual shot for Smi— oh, wait

 

[Borges]

Adil Rashid has bowled very well.

 

[91Jmay]

Well wrapped up which is unlike England. Got to be heavy favourites from here
