**** that's unlucky for boland.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

He's getting hit for a six this over. I can see it in Brook's eyes.

Then a knick falling short. England riding their luck on an absolute highway

Wait till Bairstow gets in 100 off 60 balls

Your daily reminder that Wade is a better fielder than Head

Wait till Bairstow gets in 100 off 60 balls

Wait till Smith gets 200 off 450

 

[Burgey]

Head bottled it

*bobbled

 

[trundler]

Head blew it. Should've done a better job

 

[Spark]

I better not hear Ricky Ponting complaining about overly defensive fields given his instincts as captain

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

That was not good Head , not good Head at all .

 

[TimAngas]

WHAT was Erasmus motioning just there?

 

[trundler]

That was not good Head , not good Head at all .

Wrong forum

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Nice balance on that shot from Root.

 

[Anil]

Decent start for England, this.

They all do it. Every ex-captain who ends up in the commentary box talks up aggressive field placings and declarations which they never attempted when they had the gig

 

[Jfry]

Wade > Head

 

[Spikey]

Are we sure that wasn't Marcus Harris

ARE WE SURE

 

[Spark]

That's abysmal

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Head's under pressure.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Heads gone.
