That’s unlucky

 

[Spikey]

send him back to the bad place(s)

 

[SteveNZ]

Yipes.

 

[PaulLennon]

“Pace” is being very generous

Just needed to give some respite to the main bowlers and take advantage of conditions if there is any help.

 

[CodeOfWisden]

Very sorry to say this, but Mcsweeney doesn't belong here, atleast as of now.

Faster than MMarsh tbf

 

[Qlder]

Yeah let's manufacture an opener because any middle order bat with a FC average of 38 can do it.

McSweeney 10 & 0

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

That duck on screen looks so cheap.

 

[SteveNZ]

Very sorry to say this, but Mcsweeney doesn't belong here, atleast as of now.

Having listened to the guy commentating now for 3 days, I reckon they should bring him back

 

[morgieb]

This feels like we'll end up around 150.

 

[BazBall21]

***** Marnus

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah let's manufacture an opener because anyone can do it.

McSweeney 10 & 0

I dont mind that thought process but they should give the kid some notice, have him bat a few times at the top of the order in domestics, have him open for the A side etc. before throwing him to the deep end like this.

 

[King Kane]

Tough start to a test career for McSweeney, facing Bumrah with a new rock.

 

[thierry henry]

Commentators trying to find some Bumrah magic in a ball that just didn’t bounce and went directly under the middle of the bat

 

[PaulLennon]

Kohli is back when Trump is back

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Happy.. Just so, so happy. I hope its the start of many more to come for Virat too. He deserves some luck.

Yea hope he has a series here similar to Dravids last series in Eng

 

[ChudLubber]

Why would Khawaja not face the first ball?

 

[Daemon]

Sweeney was unlucky there tbf. It just didn't bounce.

 

[morgieb]

I know he did open in the A-team for the second match once it became clear he was the guy they wanted.

The bottom line is that the actual opening options are very uninspiring.

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Everyone else looks so floaty compared to Bumrah. Guy's a freakin viper.
