I dunno, it's a tough take on the move with the ball on that angle. Not a massive mistake imo, leaving the catch earlier he bailed on was a much bigger error tbh.So, irrespective of the bails on /bails off aspect, are we now dealing with yet another Bairstow error? This time being the nightmare scenario of giving Smith of all people a life due to his clumsiness? Those two decent innings out of 8 strike me as a ****ing high price to pay for his incompetence behind the stumps.
The annoying thing is that this will be taken as an endorsement of scoring at 5-6rpo when had Australia scored at 3-3.5rpo it would have sufficed.Ponting was right wasn't he, when you put a bit of pressure on all of a sudden the pitch isn't quite as deadly. We bowled really well but the lack of attempt to shift the tempo in any way clearly wasn't good strategy earlier.
Yeah, the singles and strike rotation we had is the area we have been far better with our batting thus far. Although Aus fields do help that vs ours.The annoying thing is that this will be taken as an endorsement of scoring at 5-6rpo when had Australia scored at 3-3.5rpo it would have sufficed.
He has objectively cost waaaaaay more with the gloves than he has provided with the bat over what Foakes would have madeSo, irrespective of the bails on /bails off aspect, are we now dealing with yet another Bairstow error?

Fair enough, I didn't see it, hence having to ask. I just think I'm in the mood for a scapegoat today.I dunno, it's a tough take on the move with the ball on that angle. Not a massive mistake imo, leaving the catch earlier he bailed on was a much bigger error tbh.
Until Edgbaston he was lucky to be averaging 16 over the last few yearsCummins should average more than 16, very technically correct and balanced after he sees a few and a great striker of the ball obviously.
Yeah but he doesn't like the short stuff - that's his achilles heelCummins should average more than 16, very technically correct and balanced after he sees a few and a great striker of the ball obviously.
bowling captain probably got enough on his mind, he looks so correct when he bats and strikes it so cleanly.Until Edgbaston he was lucky to be averaging 16 over the last few years
It honestly looks like Cummins will be bowled or LBW whenever a straight ball is sent downbowling captain probably got enough on his mind, he looks so correct when he bats and strikes it so cleanly.
Short stuff is a good point though as mentioned above
No, it was clearly out. Not Jonny's **** up this time.So, irrespective of the bails on /bails off aspect, are we now dealing with yet another Bairstow error?

He batted like a genuine 11 for about 2 years until the first testCummins should average more than 16, very technically correct and balanced after he sees a few and a great striker of the ball obviously.
