OOH SMITH

Stokes needs to tone down the all out agressive **** here. There's 60 overs left, broad and robinson can hold a stick and you only need 120. Hit the bad ones for 6 and knock 2's with the field spread.

 

[hazsa19]

Is actually like to see Stokes rein it in a little. Robinson can hold up an end.

 

[Socerer 01]

Low full toss is a legitimately hard ball to hit if it surprises you and I will die on this hill. They 100% should go for it more.

t20 bowlers do it all the time

 

[Uppercut]

I straight up said in the post I haven't seen it yet. Not trying to justify it at all, just trying to get context. All I have to compare it to in my head is various games in club cricket where the keeper thinks he's a chance of a stumping of a batsman who takes guard out of his crease and ends up missing and throwing the ball past the bowler for four. Judging by your reaction (and most others) it was a bit more delayed than that.

Carey didn’t delay before throwing the ball. But Bairstow hung out in his crease for a second then wandered down to chat to Stokes during the change of ends.

 

[Spark]

Yeah if Stokes doesn't trust the rest of the batsmen here then I don't see how they can do this. 121 runs is a looooot

 

[Aidan11]

Take a run man.

weve got 4 wickets left.

We bowl dumb though

 

[Cricket CoachDB]

How does it feel to be just as wrong as your partner

Well it's about opinions, isn't it? Like your shitty opinion that we are wrong that you are entitled to have, stupid as it is.

 

[Saket1209]

They are giving easy single and doubles

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah if he keeps farming the strike so radically and England actually win it will comfortably be the greatest innings of all time.

 

[silentstriker]

Amazing

 

[halba]

He should've been out twice. He's like Jesus, keeps getting resurrected. Even got the beard

 

[Saket1209]

Best is to try to get those easy doubles

 

[Gnske]

Well it's about opinions, isn't it? Like your ****ty opinion that we are wrong that you are entitled to have, stupid as it is.

Easy champ.

I love how much this decision has riled up our long suffering English posters

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Maybe his knee is actually ****ed and the "treatment" doesn't work like that.

 

[Prince EWS]

We bowl dumb though

Head bowls smart. We want Head.

 

[Spark]

Yeah if he keeps farming the strike so radically and England actually win it will comfortably be the greatest innings of all time.

Yeah it will be out of this world. He literally needs to hit twenty boundaries like this.

 

[honestbharani]

who is ron and why should i think of it?

It is run out at non-strikers end backing up and you should think of it coz I asked a question.

 

[Cricket CoachDB]

Interesting how opinions on here aren’t split among supporter lines at all.

I was backing the Aussies until that. Now I think they're cheats and want them to lose.
