You can't assume England are going to collapse all the time either, as much as that's also a regular occurrence.
In a public hospital. Fantastic gig, would recommend it to anyone who doesn't want to work hard enough to be doctor or nurse.
You can if there's only one batsman
Agree about cloud cover not impacting seam movement. But the ball does seem to nip through a bit quicker whenever the lights are on. I'm not really sure why.
I wouldn't call Paine's captaincy "play by numbers" tbh, If anything if he stuck to completely conventional ideas - bowl over the wicket before you try extended periods around to a guy with noted issues outside off stump, bat first when it's sunny, the pitch is dry and you have a world class spinner - it would be a huge improvement. His problem is that he seems to get weird ideas for dumb reasons and then sticks to them for too long.
Nice. Just when I'm having a quarter life crisis. If TJB can do it, the sky's the limit.
Maybe the plan is to leave him stranded. I'm only half-joking.
Probably just an optical illusion.
You’re test cricketers mate. You back yourself to work through whatever the forecast.You can if there's only one batsman
Plus I'm pretty sure the forecast said for the first half of today it was going to be rather cloudy, which basically meant that even if England had been bowled out cheapish they were going to get the chance to do the same in Australia's first innings. As long as you batted OK on Day 1 (2) if you batted first you probably weren't going to lose.
well at this rate he'll be about 15* when the last wicket falls
I'd say it's as simple as the ball being harder to see, and thus the batsman reacts later
Nice. Biology is 100x easier than Chemistry for me to understand so my path is pretty set. Failed Pharmacology subjects at my uni coz we were doing the same unit as the pharm students(Sydney Uni bullshit) and I realised I'm too dumb to be a pharmacist ha
Yeah Paine is weird, Root makes Cook and Strauss seem brilliant tacticians though when they clearly weren't. As much as we think the bloke is a prune we are crying out for a Vaughan who comes up with ideas for each player with his coach and executes that plan perfectly. Seems to not be many good skippers anywhere.
Umm, Graeme Wood was ****...Kim Hughes was much better as he didn't leave much...especially not the ugly leaves of Smith
You see, I don't think it does myself. I think a lot of these things are perceptual and opinions vary from person to person. Test cricket in particular has a lot of that, and it's been very persistent over the years even when majority opinions are wrong.
He had he attack to execute the plans
Root hasn't got a bad attack but they seem to try nothing.
