Ah, just a blip.Robinson still wicketless.
What's going on?
No more delay! Aus 386ao.Lunch interval can be delayed for last wkt, unless of course Aus hang on for a bit….
I mean 50, 38, 66 from the middle order on this pudding when the bowling wasn't super-threatening is definitely disappointing. One of those three converts the start and Australia are well in front.Marnus getting out first ball was key, really. Khawaja, Carey and Head (and Cummins I guess lol) did their jobs but I don't think anyone else did which is a problem.
TBF England was kind of similar with most of the runs coming from Bairstow, Root and Crawley.
Formula needed a bit of adjustmentNotice the amount of wickets taken increased exponentially once the hack went off for his boo boo on his finger?
you know how Khawaja went yeah?That chicken hearted Robinson fired up as soon as Khawaja went. Straight from the Tim Southee school of phoning it in.
Nobody said otherwise, but us stiff upper lip Englishmen didn’t feel the need to cry about it every time a run was scoredAlso now that both sides have batted now can we see that this pitch absolutely ****ing sucks and has no business being rolled out in a Test match in England?
