Uh. Why isn't Usman wearing the little back flaps?

Yeah, surprised they're not mandatory.

 

[Shri]

ffs ball changed

 

[Burgey]

That didn’t get up as much as it should have. Glad he seems ok but he ducked right into it.

Lol and of course a ball change for England. Filth

 

[OverratedSanity]

Your pathetic national team valued a meaningless T20 league instead of the pinnacle of cricket.

The truth hurts. Ipl fans like Shri got to suck it up. Their league cost us a series win.

That’s a line of betting put up by people who aren’t students of cricket

A mate of mine is a big punter on the nags but also loves cricket

He rings me all the time with examples of crazy odds being offered on cricket

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah, surprised they're not mandatory.

Even helmets themselves aren't on any grand scale.

Each cricket board does have its own requirements though.

 

[Spark]

I don't really understand why that moment is seen as "Ashes-winning" when Australia had a mere 330 more runs to get...

 

[Test fan]

Still lots of runs to be scored so England just need to take couple of wickets .only wood can break this partnership .

 

[kevinw]

Has Woakes upset the captain? How is Jimmy bowling more overs today? No need to be sentimental.

 

[mackembhoy]

Don’t think Brook debuted until later in the summer. Openers were different though

Having had a look both teams weren't very good.

Just Jonny decided to turn into god mode in 2022 compared to 2021.

@Shri just salty cos Jonny gingerness was too strong to handle.

 

[ripper868]

Hated batting in a brand new lid...never feels comfy.

He’s right.

CA did it with our tour of India this year too.BBL availability trumped playing a couple of practice games in India. Pathetic.

Not happy with this little break from a momentum pov.

lol Karthik you arse clown. Shows a highlight from 2009 as though it has any semblance of relevance to this chase

 

[Shri]

****ing cheats. swinging now. **** off.

 

[Socerer 01]

DK following in the footsteps of Sanga to get that sweet sweet Sky contract

 

[Silver Silva]

Other points of this slogging cricket( Bazball) ,it gives the opposition so much more time to get big chases.....

Bazball is great when you're facing sides happy to play for a draw or tests that are affected by weather ..

 

[Shri]

@Shri just salty cos Jonny gingerness was too strong to handle.

actually bairstow doing it made it more palatable. would have hated it if root did it or something

 

[Calm_profit]

Only 1 run away from 5000 runs Uzzie.

 

[The Sean]

Lol and of course a ball change for England. Filth

And it looks to be a much newer one at that.

 

[social]

This ball is way harder

 

[Prince EWS]

Second new ball doing a bit.
