Shami looking far better than Umesh/Bumrah.

 

[cnerd123]

this opening pair has already batted longer than I would have wanted

Shami looking far better than Umesh/Bumrah.

Like his length more so far than the others

 

[Starfighter]

While I know he's been better the past couple of years, and I saw him bowl well in the tour match, Umesh not spraying the new ball about really is something I'm not used to.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Umesh getting steadily worse since his excellent first over is a fascinating inversion of his usual formula.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Like his length more so far than the others

I get that all the time

 

[trundler]

Matty Wade and Joe Burns desecrating the corpse of test cricket. How have India bowled so far?

Pretty meh. Only reason it's economical is because no Warner.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

I get that all the time

Length of neckbeard perhaps

Longer than we all expected.

Shami looks like he has been in a good paddock over the last while

He's always been chunky.

Like his length more so far than the others

Better line too, making them play more.

decent but too short and wide imo. lots they can leave and duck.

 

[Starfighter]

Wade's method of playing the short ball is to take his eye off the ball and hope it doesn't hit him.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Opening pace bowler fielding at backward point is unconventional

 

[TheJediBrah]

Umesh is a strapping lad though. Nice to see an Indian cricketer that's made an effort with his physique

Exhibit A

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Wade's continuing where he left off last season in how he's playing the short ball

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

This **** should be pulling these balls, not taking the hits.

"bats, bodies...whats the difference?"

 

[Starfighter]

A reminder that the leg side strangle is an option with Burns.

 

[cnerd123]

and yet Wade's never had a concussion

pitch it up more guys cmon we need a wicket here. Wasting the new ball.
