There's been a higher one further out in the galaxy by another life form?

nah don't think they're wrong on that one. This england side will never play for the draw, has scored 800+ in an innings, and has already shown the ability to pull of record breaking chases. Grind them into the dust.

He’s just as likely to be clean bowled or hit one ‘straight up’.
I think Sumo thought it was a fait accompli that Southee would hit those 6’s.
He's not on a hattrickBethell now has to play the next game so he can get a hattrick
Fair enough

Would be great if Henry gets Crawley out 6 times this series

Sumo seemed to think we'd all prefer to see Blundell hit a single rather than a six because that would get Southee on strike

I just realised your comment was ambiguous - did you mean it's remarkable that we felt required to set 650 to win in a general sense due to fear of bazball, or that you thought it was excessively conservative?Fair enough

Do you think there's any pressure on Crawley for his place at all? Coz he always bats like he has carte blanche.
Both, I think. But I take your point and if,as predicted, weather is set fine then there's no issues in batting on. So I think I've overplayed what I said there

Sumo now referring to 'at-bats', confirming that he doesn't even know what sport he's watching
No. The stats for this partnership are generally decent despite ZC's personal average and 'sets the tone'. I guess a lack of alternatives helps.
