[Burgey]

Cricketing nightmare come to life for England.

god I love it.

 

[GIMH]

Thanks for coming Rory

Harris vs Burns. Who is worse?

 

[trundler]

Catastrophic shot.

 

[Starfighter]

Burns has trouble against the moving ball. As in, the ball moving down the pitch towards him.

I actually wanted him to succeed in internationals (except against us of course) and he certainly deserves the chance more than other guys going around England, but he looks like a tailender out there now.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Batting makeover for Burns: light bat, bat down. Perhaps that'll work better.

 

[Gob]

Harris vs Burns. Who is worse?

Harris. Burns has a hundred against Cummins and Pattinson

 

[ashley bach]

Could be nine down though, and still do so.

Anyone who thinks England will do that badly, should put some money where their mouth is coming from.
The spread is about 270 so hoped you jumped on the unders.
Here's a good start if you did, Rory gone.
spread now 245.

Very unsporting of Australia to take catches after England committed to not doing so in the previous innings.

 

[Shri]

burns will get himself out in 3 balls max

****ing lmao

it's a disgrace that both got picked ahead of usman but joe did redeem himself by advocating for a canberra test

Whatever . It's just his post didn't specify.

Burns was actually England's best batsman in the series v NZ this year. He just fails a lot (including getting lots of ducks)

 

[Burgey]

The swing thing is a bit of a myth like Skill said, isn’t it? It’s seam movement that’s done the damage more than swing all game

The most the ball has swung all match was in the first session. You know, when it was blazing sun and 36°C. Very evident this ball is not going to swing much at all, disappointing as I was hoping for some fun from Richardson.

Night swing has always been on and off. Sometimes it can run ragged, sometimes it plays very normally. There's no real pattern as to which one happens too.

 

[Burgey]

What are they talking about? Richardson hasn’t swung it either

 

[Burgey]

Jhye certainly a substantial upgrade on Anderson

 

[Starfighter]

Speedgun readings doing little to dissuade me from my opinion Jhye's shoulder injury has cost him a yard pace - he's high 130s when his first spell against SL in '18 was low 140s. Such a shame from a stupid JAMODI.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Richardson's making my think of a faster, shorter Angus Fraser.
