[trundler]

Imagine scoring 131* against them in one of the greatest innings ever.

We all saw Stokes in the last test.

 

[stephen]

That last ball from Starc was literally unplayable. Lucky he didn't nick it.

 

[Burgey]

Good from Starceh here. Needs to stay patient and he’ll get a couple.

Was that Pujara last summer out here?

 

[Spark]

So for all the talk about Smith's idiosyncrasies, how it's impossible to copy etc etc, maybe these blokes could take note of the one shot Smith doesn't play in these conditions.

 

[Burgey]

Haze all over Root like a fat kid on a doughnut

 

[zaremba]

Hazlewood is such a good bowler.

 

[GIMH]

Got a lot of time for Rory Burns me

 

[aussie tragic]

Starc bowls 4 maidens in 5 overs and then gets hit for a four and Warne immediately saying "that's what you get with Starc, always goes for a few".

Warne can't help himself by always laying into Starc. Starc must have stole a girl off him once

 

[quincywagstaff]

This is the sort of over that has seen Starc miss out until now; gifting boundaries like that stands out like a sore thumb considering how Oz have bowled this series.

 

[zaremba]

Commentators going on again about Hazelwood having "put on a yard of pace" since he last came to England. Bollocks, no? He was high 80s last time he was here, he just didn't quite get his lengths right.

 

[Burgey]

When a Warne come back was mooted on the press about six years ago, Starc was asked about it and said he’d had his time and now t was Lyon’s turn or something

Of course, Warne is so self absorbed that led to him taking it as a personal insult and he’s bagged Starc every chance he gets ever since, because he’s a ****

He take a girl off you as well, quincy?

 

[Burgey]

Nearly chopped on. Good start Cummins

Didn't make them play enough in yesterday's mini spell imo

That was such an odd story. Was it just Warne pushing that or ex-cricket or those in the media pushing it as well?

 

[zaremba]

Safe Hands on now

I believe he said "We already have a spinner", which was a total alpha move, implying Warne was on a par with a lowly finger spinner.

 

[Spark]

Warne is an annoying knob but "Starc will bowl boundary balls from time to time" is surely as unexceptional and inoffensive a cricketing opinion as they come
