Was this the Brad Haddin sitter?

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?

This is the thing when talking about bowling too short. There's nothing wrong with bowling a length a la Haze or Cummins last test where you're getting blokes on the crease in order to push in a slightly fuller one to get an edge. It's another thing to have blokes going comfortably on the back dog to most of the balls.

It's a subtle difference but these guys are well capable of executing it. This spell from Robinson has been great.

Hayden on, sound off.

I wouldn't call that a sitter, but it was a pretty bad drop and ended up basically costing the series.

 

[Starfighter]

Now that Robinson is pitching it up a bit he's looking about a million times more dangerous.

 

[Burgey]

Yeah was harder than Buttler's last night as it was fuller but still pretty bad.

Still a bit going on with this deck. Aus will be cheering at the state of the game rn.

That Starc was on fire.

Good stuff from Robinson

 

[Arachnodouche]

Smith primed to leave one that jags back in sharpish. Doubt Robinson has it in him though.

 

[Starfighter]

Now we get to witness the not pretty sight of Travis Head starting.

If he can score at a decent clip it will be a nice change tbh

 

[Burgey]

Now we get to witness the not pretty sight of Travis Head starting.

He's timing it to death so far, as you'd expect by a bloke coming off a ton and a half.

Smith seems as focused as he's been in ages. Playing really late and within himself.

 

[Starfighter]

You know, gotta wonder whether the slips should be standing a yard further up.

 

[Gob]

Still jagging around

 

[Starfighter]

They need to hurry it up on these no-ball replays. Twice C7 has gone to ads and missed the ball.

 

[Alex0paul]

Chris Woakes is so feeble

 

[Burgey]

Chris Woakes is so feeble

Epitome of English Betahood tbh.

A good fit for this side.

 

[TheJediBrah]

**** tactics from England

 

[Gob]

There are better ways to get it but largely untroubled

 

[Burgey]

Ominous.
