This is such a troll innings lmao. Hope he scores with exclusively french cuts from now on.

Hope Labu plays his (literally) over-the-top leave and accidentally pulls it for four.

They've shown this "% of balls hitting the stumps" stat a couple of times implying its a sign that England have bowled too short. Not sure it means much unless we get a comparison with a normal day where they bowl fuller? Like, good corridor bowling isn't going to hit the stumps on the majority of deliveries anyway.

 

[Starfighter]

What's his fourth chance average?

Hahahahaha

 

[morgieb]

Thats a clear ****ing no ball shut up Warne you can clearly see nothing behind.

I’m glad I chose 7 once I saw the opening combo. Disaster.

 

[mr_mister]

England suck. Can't get the basics right

 

[Gob]

What is Robinson's normal pace? He has a lot of good things going for him but not at 125Kmph

 

[Calm_profit]

Labu also got a lot of chances against India last year but he didn't capitalise on it.

i'd really like someone to come up with a "% of balls played off front foot/back foot/indeterminate" tbh. that's ultimately what really matters.

I was thinking exactly this yesterday when they showed the graphic. 5% of balls hitting the stumps seems fine to me. You try get those numbers up much further you're just bowling into the pads

128-130. All the England bowlers have been down on pace except Stokes.

 

[Son Of Coco]

I must be getting old...I almost feel for England after that no ball.

i love how wound up ponting gets about watching dumb cricket, even when it's from the opposition

Labuschagne has just passed 300 balls. Feels rare to see big innings at this sort of pace in Australia these days.

Remember him absolutely tearing into the heat and ending up speechless during sams 60* last summer, was brilliant.

I remember Virat's sledge against him at The Oval. - "Dont even dream of playing outside of England bowling at 130 klicks"

 

[Starfighter]

Oh dear.
