So I thought UK couldn't play spin. What's happened to him?

Nah, it's just England who can't.

I'm taking a wild guess that the way Usman's been going lately, nobody's missing Marcus Harris.

Green looks solid. Needs to rotate strike more

Seen some folks bring up MSD's defensive tactics from the 2008 BG series and compare it to what Pak tried yesterday in other forums. A few differences though -

• MSD was trying it at a point in the game where slowing it down meant India would end up being the only team who could win, which meant Aus had that much more motivation to try and keep scoring runs
• The tactic was to bowl on 4th and 5th stump with 8 fielders on the off, and only 2 of them in the deep, at third man and sweeper cover. This meant u needed a really good shot to pierce the ring and even then it was only a single. And no pushes or nips and tucks for singles.
• What Pak did yesterday in like the 50th over of the game on day 1 was just basically wave the white flag. Not the same thing. There is a difference between good defensive captaincy and bad defensive captaincy and yesterday was just bad.

Mate, no one cares

Starc is the mayo the extra patty the ****ers forget sometimes because theyre on minimum wage

Hazlewood is the cheese, always there, reliable.

Warner is the sesame seed bun, looks good but like he'd choke you out if you swallowed him wrong.

Head is the pickle, only real men don't remove him from the side.

Lyon is the hair of the middle aged woman in the joint. Been there way too long, but you can't help but munch it regardless.

Gnske dropping more bombs here than Putin in Ukraine.

oh great now it's time to see Carey play a million reverse sweeps

 

[Gob]

Time for Pakistan players to come up with pool jokes

 

[Burgey]

Carey needs to have a dip here but he hasn’t got the stones to sink or swim

 

[Gob]

Hey Alex did you find nemo?

 

[Gob]

Quality shot

 

[Gnske]

****ing have a go you fairweathers

Green is green in his stool and Carey is playing for his LIFE. You think he's going to put his life on the line for the team?

 

[Burgey]

Thanks god. You don’t pick a 6 feet six fast bowling all rounder to have him grind out slow scoring 30s. Get on with it ffs

 

[Gob]

It's important they get 500 or close to it tbh. There is a session left in day 2

I know right, watching Nauman land all these pies and they're just begging to be slapped like that guy in that Indian dating show.

It'd be as equally inconceivable that Green could slap.

I still feel bad for that guy tbh.
