I think we can see how Green's going to play this.

EDIT
And also how Duckett intends to go about things.

**** this is showing exactly why having every one of your batsman slog irrespective of conditions is a **** tactic

Stokes bringing some real test batting allows Duckett to be more expansive. its what they had with Foakes at times and it would be even better with another defensive batsman in their midst

India's best partnerships before it all went to **** was when Pujara blocked one end and Pant smashing it at the other

I mean I don't think Duckett standing on his own head would have reached that first one

They'd still need another 70+ runs. You just didn't want to say '***tuple', did you.

Fancy Bairstow to come and finish it off

.. as nobody said before, ever. Does your wife know?

 

[GIMH]

That’s the Starc I want to see more of

 

[Spark]

Become quite loose in the last half hour. A lot more freebies

 

[Michelle Fivefer]

Foakes at six, have you been drinking?

I see no problem.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

No man’s land, right in front of his left pinky toe

Probably good for Oz that the day is almost over. How often in these scenarios do we start thinking hmm this partnership is decent, then a wicket falls in the first over the next morning

 

[Nintendo]

Good knock from duckett. Needs to go BIG.

 

[wpdavid]

Twin 50s in the match for Duckett. Lucky with the dropped catch, but well played thereafter. Any idea the last time one of England's batters made 50s in both innings in an Ashes test?

 

[Spark]

This kind of attack really isn't Starc's game. He just isn't good at this sort of thing

halba is on his way to revoke Starc atg status

Starc and ATG .Even Anderson can't be considered as ATG
