@thierry henry

The real question is why do we call guys 2 inches off average height ‘midgets’ yet the game is full of guys 6”+ above average who are the real freaks and weirdos, and we act like it’s admirable? Who are we trying to impress here?

It’s like in rugby or league when two halfbacks square off and the commentators say ‘hahahaha a couple of bantamweights going at it’....yet in actual boxing those 2 guys are literally heavyweights.

 

[Burgey]

I'm so ****ing nervous about tomorrow. Keep getting the sinking feeling that the tail will wag and the batting will crumble.

An Aus win from here would be Leeds 81 stuff. I can see Cummins as Bob Willis but Green as Botham is a lonnnnnng stretch. Looks about half the cricketer (and seven times the bloke tbf)

I've learned some alarming things in the past two pages. Credit to Niken for edducating me on southern geopolitics.

@Prince EWS why is so much of our land being bought, isn't it our land?!?

No.

You're not 6 ″ ...?

 

[straw man]

You're not 6 ″ ...?

just as a fish does not know what water is, TH knows not his own height

Alright Green, Cummins, time for a huge partnership.

[Line and Length]

The ideal opportunity for Green to silence those who want him replaced.

 

[Burgey]

I wonder if the two short mid wickets for Bumrah may actually make Green play a bit straighter than he otherwise might.

 

[Burgey]

Owes the side at least 130. But realistically has nothing to lose here as he will be in front of both Head and Burns as things stand, particularly given the overs he offers

 

[halba]

5 run lead. max i dont see more than 100 lead. thats not enough on this pitch which is solid for batting.

 

[Burgey]

Effectively being six for five here is shades of the third dig in Adelaide

Nice soft hands from Cummins there

 

[stephen]

Yadav a chance to play the third test is good news.

 

[silentstriker]

Oh good. Already talking about #intent.

 

[Burgey]

Yadav a chance to play the third test is good news.

Is it a calf injury?

 

[stephen]

Is it a calf injury?

Apparently he feels better today but isn't playing as a precautionary measure.

 

[Burgey]

That’s good news but if it is a calf they are a bastard of an injury. Maybe he will be fit to bowl tomorrow to mop up the tail

Hope he’s fit though, don’t like seeing fellas injured

Heavy roller has done it’s thing so far this morning

 

[stephen]

No turn so far for Ashwin.
