[Burgey]

The white Jadeja

Emphasis on white, of course.

 

[Gnske]

wtf but shady said Anderson bad

 

[stephen]

Fmd I am the cure to England's woes.

 

[morgieb]

Pretty handy knock there, make the lead a really important one.

 

[Aritro]

Cummins destroys the Australian rearguard and his own good work with an ungainly swipe off a short ball

Cumdumpstar, more like.

wtf but shady said Anderson bad

no i said that anderson is bowling well and pitching it up and getting rightly rewarded, and that the touring sides don’t do it nearly enough

Don't you dare misquote yourself lawyer

i hate to armchair paceman but it really doesn’t seem hard for overseas bowlers to do what anderson’s done today tbh

what he’s done is simply howl it a metre fuller so he’s averaging the good length rather than short of a good length. he said in his sook to the media about root and the coaching that it was deliberate last test that they were bowling it a metre short - why in the world was that the plan?

to me

the teams that come here and do well get the ball full. india did it in both their wins, the saffers did it when they won recently and england have done it a lot better in this match. touring teams always come here and get kerplunked when they bowl a metre or a metre and a half short, and given they are international standard bowlers they clearly plan to do so. why?

@Gnske gaslighting me here when i said anderson has bowled it fuller and more teams that tour should just huck the ball more full the way anderson is

 

[Burgey]

I wonder if someone might try to bop Md Shami over long on for six here

 

[Shady Slim]

boland looks a more technically sound batsman here than harris ever has in his career

 

[Spikey]

wtf but shady said Anderson bad

bad areas shady

 

[Gnske]

why didn't England management follow concussion protocols

 

[Burgey]

Robinson’s hammie-cussion not as bad as Jadeja’s, obviously.

 

[Daemon]

my guess is the racist will come back to bowl some tidy off spin

 

[Shady Slim]

i believe that it was @GoodAreasShane who noted that as far as the shield stocks go boland’s one who with wood in hand won’t get himself out and he’s been proven right up to this point tbh

 

[Shady Slim]

my guess is the racist will come back to bowl some tidy off spin

leach is in the team so he doesn’t have to bowl himself any more though

 

[Prince EWS]

Robinson’s hammie-cussion not as bad as Jadeja’s, obviously.

Or Hayden's.

 

[Spikey]

yeah but his off spin was fun.

Anderson now has better record in Australia than at home against Australia.
