Anderson should go out and bowl full tilt at 145-150 clicks as this could be his last test.135 clicks from Jimmy isn't bad.
He may end up on a hospital bed later, but it won't really matter since he won't be playing tests again.

I think the criticism comes from Marnus being so extreme about it, not merely that he scored slowly. The risk of that going wrong is that if a wicket falls it could easily lead to a collapse without many runs to insulate it from happening.Is all this criticising slow scoring part of an extended gag or are you all just morons now
That would be POTUS tbf wouldn't it.President of the United States? That would be quite the upgrade
It's definitely not as bad as if he'd just gotten out immediately, especially if pitch/weather conditions change for the better.I think the criticism comes from Marnus being so extreme about it, not merely that he scored slowly.

You guys are taking this all so seriouslyI think the criticism comes from Marnus being so extreme about it, not merely that he scored slowly. The risk of that going wrong is that if a wicket falls it could easily lead to a collapse without many runs to insulate it from happening.
Name checks outRachael Heyhoe Flint brilliant women. Other than vociferously defending apartheid every chance she got
Slow scoring can be good, but not scoring ~at all on Day 2 of a Test is pretty bad.Is all this criticising slow scoring part of an extended gag or are you all just morons now
I think the idea was to get through the tough period. It was very dark out there and England bowlers were fresh and bowling sharpIt's definitely not as bad as if he'd just gotten out immediately, especially if pitch/weather conditions change for the better.
But the real issue was that there were several legit bad balls that he just let go. Regardless of conditions you can't just refuse to score like that unless you're in a batting for a draw in the second innings situation.
Who cares about scoring it’s supposedly test cricketSlow scoring can be good, but not scoring ~at all on Day 2 of a Test is pretty bad.
Genuinely though, while I don't think Marnus' innings was optimal, there's definitely part of me that's still annoyed that no one for England thought to slow down and grind the Oz bowling even a little bit a Lords when your spinner was injured.I think the idea was to get through the tough period.

Far from it.that Marnus innings may be one of the slowest in test history
It's so true, they thrive in darkness!I think the idea was to get through the tough period. It was very dark out there and England bowlers were fresh and bowling sharp
I think had that happened last year I reckon you guys would've. It honestly has felt like Bazball's lost a lot of its subtlety in the last 6 months. While there are times where it has worked this series (Manchester), there's a lot of times where if they went even slightly more conventional England would've pressed home advantages harder.Genuinely though, while I don't think Marnus' innings was optimal, there's definitely part of me that's still annoyed that no one for England thought to slow down and grind the Oz bowling even a little bit a Lords when your spinner was injured.
There's a difference between what Khawaja is doing, scoring slowly but taking some chances, to build a platform for further run scoring in better conditions, and what Marnus did in just scoring slow for the sake of it.Is all this criticising slow scoring part of an extended gag or are you all just morons now
None of these imbeciles has any idea what the **** they’re watching anymore. This whole series is cursed.Far from it.
Just looking at a list without confirming some non-bowlers. (min 50 balls)
Nasser Hussain 2 off 50 (SR 4) vs AUS 1997
Paul Collingwood 2 off 50 (SR 4) vs NZ 2008
JP Duminy 3 off 65 (SR 4.61) vs SL 2014
Rahul Dravid 3 off 61 (SR 4.91) vs ENG 2001
JP Duminy 3 off 58 (SR 5.17) vs SL 2014
Both Duminy’s innings were in the same test at Colombo - SA batted very slowly and SL very aggressively.
I see what you're doing here.You guys are taking this all so seriously
