[Neil Pickup]

How about a long on, boys?

 

[Cabinet96]

There's 90,000 in but you can basically just hear 5 people and no one else.

Come on, this is so annoying

 

[viriya]

Am I hearing stuff or is the stump mic sounding like little kids screaming?

 

[Cabinet96]

That list of economy rates in the last 10 for England bowlers was weird because it's basically the opposite of what they do. Woakes bowls a lot and Jimmy doesn't.

Edit: Though I wonder if it helps to bowl only a couple of overs instead of 4 and 5 and the batsman getting used to you.

I do like the slight colour change on the mini card indicating whether it's a bowling/batting pp, final 10 overs or regular old boring middle overs.

 

[Cabinet96]

England don't have enough variety in their death bowling plans.

 

[Antihippy]

Why is woakes considered a death bowler again?

 

[OverratedSanity]

What's with the slow short filth on leg stump?

 

[Cabinet96]

I quite like Woakes' yorker as well. Bit annoying how England love the majority of deliveries to be slow and short.

 

[jonbrooks]

It will be interesting to see how England chase this total.

 

[viriya]

I really don't understand why Woakes keeps getting trusted to bowl at the death. Didn't Eng learn their lesson in SL and the tri-series?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Same has been said for the last 5 world cups, will be saying the same for the next 5 too.

 

[jonbrooks]

It's going to be at least a 330 chase. That's mammoth at the MCG. Having said that there are heaps more opportunities to run 2s and 3s if you find the gaps.

Badly.

Yeah, the slow bouncer is actually useful at the death. Just not if you bowl 4 in an over like England.

There are far too many colours on the screen for 6am.

 

[Cabinet96]

Finn is just length all at the same pace as well tbh, he just got lucky that Marsh mistimed it.
