Don't be picky. There was a space between each word.

Lol, I only did it because it was worth reading

Classic Steve Smith innings so far, batting with 92% control percentage and scoring all of his runs behind square on the legside.

 

[Cabinet96]

is it the one with them in the nets? they showed it during the first test, was really good.

Yeah. Now doing a wicketkeeping masterclass with Sanga in the indoor nets. Pretty amazing rain delay content.

we've had the 2nd test in 2013/14. bell's 70 odd not out in the first dig was lovely to watch, can't believe you never rated him man

Oz have done well to be in such an overall strong series position considering how much their openers are struggling.

Bancroft looks technically awful atm and the best he can do for the side is stonewall and see off the new ball.

Hard to define what's got Warner out of sorts; reckon his standing outside the crease is making the rest of his technique look cramped and rushed. The assuredness and timing that's always been a part of his game just isn't there so far.

Agree but Roy and Burns to a lesser extent have problems opening also.

Re: England selection for the third test. Big questions have got to be asked of Roy, Denly, Buttler and Bairstow as wicket keeper while Root is not captain material. I'm happy with the bowling although we've not seen Leach yet.

For the Aussies I'd look at bringing in Starc over Siddle.

I can't believe Edgbaston 05 hasn't been on yet

That one six over cover off Harris was fapworthy

 

[ajdude]

Jim Maxwell for TMS interviewed Neil Harvey today. Hopefully that will find its way into the international audience also.

Great interview. 90 years old and still has all his faculties.

Did he say the modern players are #bloodyhopeless ?

 

[Burgey]

Healy do one of those out here a few year back and it was so good it almost made me forgive him for being such a bad commentator the rest of the time.

They did one in the indoor nets with Warne bowling to Ponting once, I think it might have been the 2015 Ashes. Ponting danced down the deck and nearly killed the cameraman who was standing st short mid off.

And the bats are bigger nowadays.

He actually did make this complaint.
