Thought the tail was now when smith is out ?

Both bowlers on 195 test wickets.

Travis Head looks like a refugee from the Golden Age

The umpires have made it very hard for players to review accurately when every time they give someone out, it looks like it's a guess.

[flibbertyjibber]

absolutely loving Bairstow's chat here

Former team mate who was just about the worst overseas player Yorkshire ever had. He will get both barrels will Head.

 

[slowfinger]

Stokes bowling better than Anderson here, showing that 40 year old Granddad up today

WTF you on about? 3 reds is as clear as it gets. Pathetic Watsonesque review by The People's Chump

 

[slippy888]

Travis Head needs to go into his Brian Lara batting mode now no one can stop him

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Probably completely true tbh

Actually (this is true) the Anzacs (both of us) were heaps taller than the pommie soldiers in WW 1 as our soldiers were farmers etc and those in the outdoors with plenty of protein in the diet and fresh air, while the English were malnourished little runts from horrible polluted cities and had dreadful diets.

 

[woodleigh]

Oh...Head hit a four, how is that possible if we're playing kiwiball

 

[Spark]

Penny for India's thoughts watching this having left out Ashwin last week...

How’d we get to Kiwi Supremacy in the Ashes thread.

 

[MW1304]

Classy stuff from Mo, still got it.

Hubris and insecurity

one of the worst decisions of recent times from India

 

[slowfinger]

when Moeen bowls a jaffa like that to Head and has an average of 36 then is he really the worst all rounder of all time?

 

[sledger]

one of the worst decisions of recent times from India

Nah not as bad as when they deliberately caught COVID to get out of playing that test against England
