I don't understand how these two haven't gotten out like four times already.

I don't understand how these two haven't gotten out like four times already.

It's been a bizarre innings. A lot of the English wickets have fallen to crap yet Australia have largely bowled genuine jaffas.

A lead under 100 and having 20 overs could be a major boon for England.

 

[morgieb]

Don't know what we're doing out here. English tail is strong but the strategy since Tea hasn't felt right.

 

[stephen]

Where is the rts? Could have sworn there was a noise.

 

[Member Berry]

thought i heard a nick there on Wood's cover drive against Cummins?

Yeah I thought he smashed the cover off it

Brilliant review. Utterly amazing. Don't check the edit history of this post.

 

[Spark]

like, of all the ways for woakes to get out, he eventually gets out like that

nah i heard two noises there as well

 

[stephen]

Starc is doing the right thing here trying to hit his pegs.

 

[Spark]

could have used that last week

 

[morgieb]

See, that's what happens when you target the pegs than the head.

I worry about batting under lights. But unless Robinson is actually fit, England's attack looks very shallow.

 

[stephen]

Great shot that.

 

[stephen]

That's the way.

 

[Spark]

i mean that is a really pitiful looking batting card, especially given that aus weren't exactly fully switched on.

 

[morgieb]

The tempo of England's innings felt very strange tstl.

I'd just try and grind it out today and let loose tomorrow. If we're no worse than two down that's good, one or none that's great.

Two drops plus two missed reviews and a lot of the last forty or so runs were pretty hacky.

 

[GIMH]

Fly these useless bastards home

that 36 by woakes is as about as bad a 30+ innings as i've seen. felt like every second ball was a play and miss or an edge.
