Difference is we knew you were there for the taking and we chucked the series away ourselves.
You keep doing you, boo.
Hawkeye isn't 100% infallible.
That's why umpires call is built in. If it's not umpires call, it's not even within the margin for error.
People keep saying this but his record in Bazball is I think better than his overall? Granted that was prior to this series
People keep making predictions instead of just quoting stats, yes.
Right, but the prediction seems to be based upon a perception that is false
Higher average. But has caused an influx of low scores. I think he might have been injured and had to just slog today, but unless he's in Australia/SA or playing against an attack of that nature, I think he really should just play his game. Don't see why he shouldn't. He was never a grinder.
Yes, which is already taken into account via umpires call.
"I think something that has been happening so far is unsustainable and will stop happening" isn't really a false perception.
Yeah, I feel like his amount of low scores has gone up. I don't feel like Root's run output has at all been at the level it could/should be under Baz.
Moral victory.
If he keeps playing the way he has for the last two years then his average will go down seems a false perception to me when his average has gone up playing that way.
Averaging 60 is brutally difficult and there's every chance his average would have gone down as he mentally got ground by the utterly miserable and joyless cricket England had been playing under him
You had me in the first half
Since Baz? Hmmm, I don't remember him playing reverse scoops or playing like a madman before 2022. I could be wrong
