Is Anderson breaking 80 mph here ?

just

 

[trundler]

His record in Eng doesn't speak like that. And starc doesn't come to bat with new ball. Warner plays it pretty well against Pak

Shaheen had Warner in his back pocket last summer. Had no red ball experience when he played in England. Samplesizelol.

just

The only thing today is Anderson keeping the run rate down when he’s on

not looking like he will get a wicket anytime soon

 

[trundler]

@Burgey to confirm whether Anderson is ready for a fork to be stuck in him

 

[CartyDurham]

This is one of those periods again, where it appears to be the easiest thing in the world to bat

England not showing enough urgency to get these last three and it’s drifting

 

[CartyDurham]

Crowd trying to get enthused

that ball flew from nowhere

 

[Burgey]

As a neutral , the difficulty for me is there are only three decent blokes in English cricket (about seven in the country overall) and they’re the ones doing well in the series - Wood, Woakes and Broad.

which just goes to show, even if you’re lucky enough to meet a decent one, you just can’t trust a Pom.

Yeah we have seen that In Aus how well he plays against Warner. And that's the excuse you can always give.

They have to try to squeeze overs in I think.

 

[Gob]

I assume they need to get whatever they can before the new rock

 

[CartyDurham]

Anderson has his next gig lined up as a comms on the BBC’s cricket coverage of the hundred

Love judging young cricketers on their first few matches and ignoring their successes

Surprised root has not come on to rush through a few overs

 

[trundler]

Say the line ffs

Lol get in the bin with this junk. If you can’t acknowledge Shaheen is a quality test bowler you’re posting on the wrong forum

 

[Burgey]

Have to say I like Mark Butcher on comms. Has some good insights.

An exp of 5 years is more than enough man. Many fast bowler retire in 10 years. A sample size of 24 test is more than enough.

 

[CartyDurham]

That graphic was interesting re the top runs scorers. Must be pretty low in an ashes series those totals so far
