4th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester

[OverratedSanity]

For someone whose reputation is that of a lower order dasher, Buttler's played a few good knocks in these kind of situations.

Yeah England have shown some good backbone here. Quite a contrast to day 5 Edgbaston.

Hope what kills you.

Always have been a fan of the leg slip

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Rps is constant...

 

[Burgey]

Best over Lyon has bowled. Wonder if they glued his finger together at tea

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Some movement in the air

 

[Burgey]

Buttler deserves some real credit here. Has dug in hard

Buttler deserves some real credit here. Has dug in hard

I get the impression that he does a lot better when his role/approach has been pretty much decided for him by the circumstances of the match. He's played some good 'normal' innings, my feeling is his better/more memorable contribtions have been when digging in or sheperding the tail and the way to play has been a bit more clear-cut

He's had a good game in fairness. Might well have gone on for a better score first dig but went after it when we were down to the last wicket

Dreading the new ball here

Where has this field been all day?

 

[Burgey]

**** it’s decking everywhere. You’d think the new ball will do plenty

 

[Compton]

The match in a strange lull. Seems pretty clear everyone’s just waiting to see what menace Cummins will cause with the new cherry.

As opposed to this 'old' ball

Both good points. In Corrin’s case a very rare one, of course.

Australia needs to stay patient as they have been rather than look for the miracle. If they open up one end then the quicks are good enough to finish it off. If they don’t, fair enough and we’ll batted. Isn’t like they’ve been gifted their stay out there.

 

[Burgey]

Would give TPC an over before the new rock. You just know he’ll jag one

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

What a leave!

 

[Spark]

Massive.

Wtf did he do that for?
