[TimAngas]

That's unfortunate considering how comfortable he's looked.

 

[morgieb]

What the.....

 

[Spark]

eh tbf he should have been out four overs ago

I mean he was very lucky to not be dismissed a few overs earlier tbf.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Ugh. Unnecessary dismissal. Malan didn’t need to go outside his scoring arc between gully and backward point.

 

[the big bambino]

Leg side strangle is the best worst ball in cricket

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Alpha dude for sure

his bowling in 2017 series v Aus was beta as

I'm sure glad that the Greek alphabet gets ****ed over as much with this pseudo-natural history/cheap Attenborough knock-off bullshit as it does with COVID nomenclature. It's just a shame that physics and the Greeks use the Greek alphabet so much. If they didn't, it would really help to avoid any confusion.

when you get a half volley outside leg stump, it's only natural to think that it's an easy scoring opportunity. sometimes those aren't always bad luck but that one is.

Can anyone tell me why the English cricket team who play at a amateur level get payed as if they are professional cricketeers?

Because they do it all for women's cricket according to Rory Burns

 

[Spark]

well at least it wasn't a nick

 

[TimAngas]

Follow on in play

 

[Gob]

good nut

 

[jcas0167]

Was just thinking that Green has been very, very good this series. Valuable contributions with both bat and ball. Well worth persisting with.

Looks like he has the tools to become a world class all-rounder. His bowling in particular has been outstanding.

 

[morgieb]

How do you face a Cummins who has a genuine inswinging yorker now?

Oh wow that bounced. I thought that was 110% plumb (and so did Root)

yeah, regardless of ball tracking, i think that's given out more or less every single time. looked extremely out.

 

[Spikey]

we still haven't seen ball tracking on 7 but I'm shocked it wasn't reviewed given the Starc on before that went over
