The catching the big thing, it is a great value for your shots wicket with bullet outfield but you drop test match batsmen 9 times across two innings that had got to be a couple hundred runs at least.I'm beginning to lean towards the idea that this isn't really much of a road, it's just both teams bowled dross in the first innings and caught terribly. Boult and Anderson excepted (which kinda lends credibility to the theory)
True though Boult was getting a lot of swing with a 40-over old ball this morning.The catching the big thing, it is a great value for your shots wicket with bullet outfield but you drop test match batsmen 9 times across two innings that had got to be a couple hundred runs at least.
It is a road with the older ball though
Yeah swinging more today, been pretty sunny all game. Anderson best average in the game with it btw.True though Boult was getting a lot of swing with a 40-over old ball this morning.
Think that's showing the pitch is quite two-paced, there were quite a few edges that dropped short of slip yesterday morningLoads of edges over the slips from both sides. And not standing too near proper clearances.
Yeah, played decently took advantage of the full balls and always have to ride your luck as an opener.I guess that tricky little pre-lunch period went about as well as we could have hoped - apart from Latham's brain fart.
Was it also Adelaide where the Aussies lost a similar game to India (500 plays 500)?It’s horrible batting third in games like these. I think so anyway. Maybe Adelaide left scars
Being a NZ fan used to horrible collapses has left enough scars as well.It’s horrible batting third in games like these. I think so anyway. Maybe Adelaide left scars
The commentators?? Were they talking about Conway opening? I'd rather bring back Ajaz, Wagner, and Williamson for Macewell, Henry, and Jamieson and get Mitchell to bowl more.They're actually discussing dropping Young and retaining Macewell.
Kill me.
What is the highest 1st innings team score in a loss in England?
Yes. It was insane.The commentators?? Were they talking about Conway opening? I'd rather bring back Ajaz, Wagner, and Williamson for Macewell, Henry, and Jamieson and get Mitchell to bowl more.
On the radio I've been listening to Jeremy Coney's rugby stories.
Yeah that's the side I was thinking of.Yes. It was insane.
