Is his average above 76?

gotcha!

 

[FBU]

Are England going to wait for Brook's 100 before they declare?

Getting guys in their nineties, yes

Carse and Bethell have been definite finds here, and Atkinson continues, Brook looks imperious too.

still a big departure in experience from Broad, Anderson, Wood and even Robinson from the last series. Also Bashir still seems a weak point in the side.

Bethell seems promising but needs to bat in more challenging conditions, Pope and Crawley as unreliable as ever and Stokes batting-wise starting to fade.

The batting was horrendous in the previous Ashes down under, no doubt. It appears we are slightly better equipped this time round but I think it will still be touch and go.

If we keep dropping him or Southee gets to bowl to him in the 90s another ton for Brook is a good bet.

 

[GIMH]

Gus Atkinson.

Stuart Broad

Stuart Broad

Yeah, as Howe said I should think there are a few bowlers, get to bat longer than normal, Atkinson was just the first in my mind as it was recent.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Cherrington should push it after tea to get the fastest test century

 

[Skyliner]

Southee will probably get a 5 fer here, will just float it up outside off and somehow keep getting wickets.

My littl’un was in the tea time entertainment and won, apparently. Hard to see from where I am but there was a big cheer for the dinosaur.

Might just require every batsman to get to 90 before he tires them out though.

Gets them right where he wants them.

 

[Gnske]

Leading innings wicket taker Tim Southee is at it again

 

[BazBall21]

Just seen. What a shame for Bethell. But he will get other chances.

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah, well, this is just rude.

To both NZ and Ind, and their fans.

Southee is getting on in years but it's a bit harsh to call him a dinosaur.

 

[Skyliner]

Surely that is outside the line.

 

[slowfinger]

brutal review that. much closer than i thought

 

[Johan]

Are England going to wait for Brook's 100 before they declare?

there is no reason to declare

 

[slowfinger]

i still don't understand how impact can be umpire's call though. surely it's either in line or it isn't, there's no simulation and error involved??
