Superfluous last 4 words.

Completely dominant in this over

Did Ward just say Duckett looked comfortable against the short ball ploy in the last Test? Did he play a decent shot during the entirety of it?

 

[RightArmMystery]

Confident start from Duckett

He did score 170 odd runs in that test iirc so he did play at least one decent shot

lol reading comprehension

 

[CartyDurham]

Beautifully whipped away

His pull shot is a mirror image of Nathan Lyon's

So is his bowling

 

[trundler]

Say what you still but Crawley really monopolises scoring when he's at the crease

Quite something Sangakkara criticises Khawaha for his 'lazy' running and then he and Ward say the one Oz bat that runs well between the wickets Warner.

I guess Khawaja has to pace himself as his innings usually last several hours more than Warner.

 

[Qlder]

Certainly is. He’s

Properly

Day
S isn’t he?

Very unusual for a mature athlete to pick up extra pace at an advanced age like he has. You almost never hear of it happening. I wonder how he’s done it?

Didn't Ryan Harris do the same? Was medium-fast in South Austraia then moved to Qld and become fast at 30?

 

[hazsa19]

Do Australians think Cummins will play all 5? He’s some athlete.

If you've ever been on a night out in Queensland, you'll know steroid abuse is mandatory for entry into some nightclubs in Surfers to be fair to Rhino.

 

[CartyDurham]

Can’t resist this but Broady has knocked out the number four seed Rudd at Wimbledon as well as taking wickets here today

and he’s doing a shift in his pub later

No khwaja has always been lazy with his running he always goes slow of the first single. Been an issues his whole career. That’s why I think he also doesn’t get a look in for the short forms as well
