So you mean ignore 85% of it

IMO he was a lot worse in that regard a few years ago. Has seemed to calm a fair bit.

They’ll need to bring Bumrah back after a short rest. Otherwise the game is gone.

Dunno, could be a day for a Jadu throwback.

This is bizarre why are the slips so close

I see your point. He just yelled "Declare now!"

 

[Qlder]

How long before Kohl signals for DRS instead of Sharma

Ok I think what they’re trying to do is have one guy way in front to hopefully grab the ones that keep falling short. The others are there as sort of a backup behind him. Don’t know if that works in practice tbh.. just seems like a recipe for disaster.

Is he? He’ll be a eunuch by the time this series is over.

I mean we've had 1 catch in the slips this game despite no shortage of nicks, they have to try something

Testicle integrity is a serious health concern for (almost) any man. If he keeps doing this they might have to introduce a new type of concussion test after such a blow.

Might be the first retirement from international cricket due to repeated blows to the testes.

Yeah by all means come up, maybe even put a lid on, but I’m not so sure about the closeness to each other.

 

[Daemon]

Impact outside off i think. Umps call probably.

edit: i’m blind

 

[morgieb]

Umpire's call, maybe?

 

[Burgey]

Looks high

 

[Burgey]

A change of commentary and relief from Fleming's endless waffling.

He’s terrible isn’t he.

 

[Daemon]

Cheating umps at it again.

 

[Niall]

Does Kevin Pietersen not do in commentary in Australia?

 

[silentstriker]

Man that looked so dead live.

 

[slowfinger]

hmmm was a big high for me
