[Gob]

Check the no ball

 

[ataraxia]

it's going to be high isn't it

 

[Starfighter]

Umpire's call.

Or not.

 

[Gob]

Collapse time

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

England fans can thank me, and Virat, I guess.

Would Richard hate Labuschagne more than Trescothick?

 

[Starfighter]

Damn. A bit like Smith's century at Sydney last year - got the ton, but would have been good to get at least 30-40 more, especially considering how many chances he's gotten.

 

[Bahnz]

AW man, how great would it have been if that was bouncing over.

 

[Burgey]

Unlucky Marnus.

England sure needed that

 

[Starfighter]

Also, something about bowling balls that are hitting the stumps.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Hussey being the only one described as "the great" in a list of batsmen with Bradman, Sutcliffe and Headley in it was quite something

 

[Arachnodouche]

Robinson might be the closest thing to Mohd. Asif that's appeared on the scene. Has the same sort of bowling smarts about him.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Labuschagne is officially the luckiest **** in world cricket

You should've seen Henry Nicholls last summer

Kind of, but you dont get him to leave that unless most of them are missing

 

[Starfighter]

Woakes doing a Shaheen.

 

[Spark]

so... robinson just basically got two wickets, or at least bowled two wicket-taking balls, pitching it up and getting movement both ways, even at moderate pace.

therefore, from the other end, we'll bowl... this?

Doesn't move the ball anywhere near as much though.

Nowhere near as over rated as Asif tbh. Few ever have been.

I think it's a very clear plan from Broad to slant it in and try either get him in front, or get him to hit in the air on the leg side (something he does a lot more than he did pre-ban).

Whether it's the right plan though... well...
