Those should definitely be counted as wides and be filed under the bowler's expense.

Nostrils challenged both edges of the pitch in that over.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Why is Starc ahead of Patrick? Is he a better bat?

Yep , Starc has got 10 Test 50's the bloke can bat

 

[Prince EWS]

Missing leg by heaps.

Chris Gaffaney (good Otago lad - reasonable 1st class opener) is a pretty decent ump.

Two great things about this post.

1. Fuller Pilch random Kiwi post!
2. Whenever Gaffaney's career is brought up I remember Rigor randomly giving it to him on comms while he was umpiring, for his catching. Something like:

"The new ball has been thrown in to Chris Gaffaney... and surprisingly, he caught it!

Great ground fielder.

...

Couldn't catch."

Rigor getting bold with the sling in his glass house. Dropped a few himself.

I don't understand the stat, but surely Harry Brook has a much higher s/r than both of them.

MSD & Ishant not here

 

[Adorable Asshole]

We will win

 

[Prince EWS]

Nasser way too fixated on which hand he threw it with there.

Typical lefty bias of the mainstream press.

 

[Saket1209]

Ind will win

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Australia should declare 20 minutes after lunch

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Ind will win

I should not laugh on you but i will.

We've thrown this away so far. Head made 160 batting that way so I don't wanna blame him too much, but Smith and Green got out to weak shots and starc has gifted India a wicket there. Lucky India are missing 4/6ths of their best batting lineup to injury/horses for courses nonsense.

You will soon find it out man
