Cameron Green needs dropping for that

 

[sledger]

Haha that Green shot was ****ing horrible. The kind that you'd see me playing on Cricket 22. Oh well, shouldn't complain.

 

[CartyDurham]

Believe it or not it has taken me till now to realise why Root wears the number 66

I believe it

 

[GIMH]

India won't be Jimmy's cup of tea, they'd be mad to take him there.

Averages 29 there which is pretty good for the conditions for a bowler like him, no?

Cameron Green needs dropping for that

I think we've dropped enough this series.

 

[Michelle Fivefer]

Root as the frontline spinner an absolute joke. He bowls way too quick and flat. Hasn't created a single chance yet

You were saying?

 

[woodleigh]

The fair-weather crowd are awake

 

[CartyDurham]

You were saying?

He has two assists since that post

one of Englands better performers on the day

 

[Saket1209]

Averages 29 there which is pretty good for the conditions for a bowler like him, no?

He averaged less because he has bowled a lot lesser in India than any other conditon which affects the average. Even shami average 20 in india

 

[GIMH]

First I'd ask wtf you're doing putting them in in Aus conditions

Yeah maybe I'm mixing it up because I can't find any examples where I'd have been on the motorway with TMS on and it's happened. Maybe it was just a case of having the team bat first seven down at close they were talking about.

 

[Spark]

Anderson looks every bit of 41 years old in the field

It'd be a disappointment now but I'd have absolutely taken 7/270 or something like that at stumps when we were put in this morning. If it's bowling conditions and you know it's going to still be bowling conditions tomorrow then your #1 priority is not to lose the game in the first 40 overs

 

[CartyDurham]

Aussies should at minimum break 400 here so England have a glimmer still in the match

was looking at 500 to 600 twenty mins ago

 

[GIMH]

He averaged less because he has bowled a lot lesser in India than any other conditon which affects the average. Even shami average 20 in india

Not sure you understand how averages work pal

13 Tests btw, not nothing. Instrumental in a few victories over there including hugely significant ones in 2006 and 2012

 

[honestbharani]

So for all the talk of Tongue, its finally Root that beat Head and got Green.

 

[Calm_profit]

Root has a golden arm

 

[Michelle Fivefer]

India won't be Jimmy's cup of tea, they'd be mad to take him there.

I doubt he’ll be touring again. Sure he’ll retire this summer.

 

[Saket1209]

They will still score more than 450 which will be more than enough.

 

[GIMH]

England definitely still in the game here. Starc makes that tail more dangerous though (only just found out he was playing)

 

[Socerer 01]

Shami is incredibly good in India what are you on about?
