You called it mate. I guess we'll soon see if it's the right call.
Is the one part of the whole bazball thing I can't really get my head around. Really looked like there was another easy 30-40 runs out there.

Still totally up for 10/2 at the close right.

On a more conducive pitch in 2019, England made 374 and lost. I just don't think this is smart. The Australian side is not so stupid as to be psyched into thinking otherwise other.

in day 1 Proccedings // too slow over rate by Aus.

This is a very brave declaration.

I think Stokes will top it even further with Moeen opening the bowling.

Tbf, I don’t think many teams worry more about Root than KP

Latter is seriously underrated because of his personality
Omg seriously? You talk like you know this game and tell us how you spend time in the nets chatting to all these great cricketers....... but you somehow come out with these ****i g bazzare opinions that just makes me realise you are absolutely clueless and have nfi what your talking about.

Joe Root >>>>> KP. And any team (or person) that "fears" KP more over a series than Root is just off the wall stupid.

Whose to say that Root doesn't get hold of the new ball and smacks around far more than that? But no it's so important to get five overs in tonight even if it's the difference between an okay score and a genuinely imposing one.

So we've seen basically all sides of Bazball here, right? Good and bad.

Probably the Bazballiest day yet. It's psychoanalytical nonsense that declaration, but you can't be surprised any more. Cricket played with the gut for better or worse. Such a shame Warne isn't here to see it, he'd be so chuffed.
