Hasn’t got the stones to play that way

Didn't he say yesterday he's already expelled those

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Imam put on fair bit of weight

It's in the DNA

 

[nightprowler10]

Gonna have a run out soon ffs.

Didn't he say yesterday he's already expelled those

I was so close to making this joke but thought it was in too poor taste.

Probably because it was too early in the morning for me to drunk yet when I read it.

So what you're saying is you didn't have the stones to make it

 

[nightprowler10]

Great over from Haze there jeez. Why didn't our bowling look like that?

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah I got rid of those.

 

[Starfighter]

It's been a long time since I saw Cummins bowl an outswinger.

 

[morgieb]

This is probing. Fair effort from these two to still be out here.

 

[Daemon]

Yeah I got rid of those.

Did you actually have kidney stones when you had that severe kidney infection? Sounds beyond awful

I didn't thankfully.

 

[Starfighter]

Cummins taking himself off after two overs. Maybe he wants the other end.

 

[Burgey]

Jeez that’s a quality first over from Lyon

 

[Starfighter]

I'll be interested to watch Cummins' bowling this season. I felt that recently his action looks a bit flatter and he doesn't lift the ball quite as much. Especially in the Ashes, where he was maybe a touch slower and wasn't so good at what he's been brilliant at, getting life out of slow, dead pitches. If that is the case rather than being just a blip it'll be interesting to see how he adapts.

 

[Starfighter]

Just realised that Imam's strike rate has gone down to 6

 

[Daemon]

Lol Wasim just took the opportunity to plug his restaurant on comms - not sure what Fox will think of that

I thought his main problem in the Ashes was his line tbh. When he stopped bowling on the pads so much, especially to Crawley, he still looked plenty dangerous, but his stock line seemed to drift onto middle and off stump all too often.

Mitch Marsh has now decided to bowl hand grenades too

Only thing left for him to do to complete the humiliation is to take a one-handed screamer at gully

Cummins is a natural slanter, but I didn't think he made the ball really stand up off the seam as before. I think that someone brought up some stat that it was his slowest series, but can't remember the context. He's no spring chicken anymore regardless, and not bowling too quickly right now.

The whole execution of the bowling during that series sucked. It was always going to be very tough, but I thought everyone bowled more on the pads than usual, and the English are very strong on the leg side. I think we really missed a good outswing bowler, though the ball didn't swing overly much (it hasn't since the ECB decided to **** with it).
