5th Test at Hobart - 14-19 Jan 2022

[Xix2565]

So deep square leg is out and they aren't going to bowl short and have him serve a purpose?

Root is shook. Forfeit the test now.

Pretty sure they forfeited the series when they realised Archer wouldn't make it. The rest is just a dance to pretend like they know how to pick a team and play cricket.

England are absolute experts at getting the ball changed when things aren't going their way.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Lanuschagne has that peak Amla quality of being very good and also somehow getting a healthy dose of luck early in his innings. Pretty useful combination.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

I generally am not too bothered by the bowler throwing at the stumps, but Broad was just taking the piss there


He has history too, just ask Zulquarnain Haider

I believe it's called "being a bunch of sooks".

dealing with the movement by literally smashing the ball out of shape; finally v sehwag has a worthy heir

Getting dropped by the English slip-cordon isn't so much luck as it is inevitability.

"We must lose this ball. I have a plan"

A quote that needs more traction here tbh.

i presume you've seen the cricviz stat going around saying that iirc only 59% of catching opportunities he's offered have been taken

 

[the big bambino]

Greenest pitch I’ve seen, plenty of zing and bounce and change the ball on a sook. Batsmens game eh.

it's possibly my favourite cricket anecdote, that one

 

[Spark]

hahahaha what a dismissal

 

[Gnske]

HOLY **** HE JUST KILLED HIM

 

[Starfighter]

I am very rarely rendered speechless.

This is one of those moments.

 

[stephen]

That came out of nowhere. Bizarre dismissal.

 

[Spark]

[morgieb]

[Gnske]
