[Spark]

Genuinely baffling how little control of line the quicks have had.

 

[Tangles]

Jeez it's like they don't bowl to lefties in the nets.

 

[Cabinet96]

I remember when he used to bowl leg spin.

 

[WalkingWicket]

I really hope Stokes doesn't try and whack Warner into the river. Remain calm.

 

[GIMH]

Bringing out the big guns. Root will enjoy this.

 

[Primrose_D12]

David Warner to bowl? What

 

[Pothas]

Don't want Stokes on strike here.

 

[Howe_zat]

I dunno about you guys, 'get Warner on to bowl seam up' just seemed like the natural course of action to me.

 

[WalkingWicket]

I remember when he used to bowl leg spin.

Became a strike bowler of mine on International Cricket Captain 2012 with his leggies.

One of the ATG innings from Root. Proves he's the world's greatest.

Where's weldone when you need him?

Ya I'm here. I don't mind this hyperbole from GIMH on a day when he has reason to be happy. And I don't dislike Root either - in fact, in this England batting lineup he's the 2nd batsman I like, behind Bell and slightly ahead of Buttler and Moeen.

Shri's case was different.

 

[Howe_zat]

Warner actually got some shape away all through that over. All from the hand, like, but looked nice

 

[Furball]

No worse than Watson really.

 

[Tangles]

So he's saving the Mitches for the new ball or just doesn't trust them right now.

 

[harsh.ag]

What glorious times we live in - Smith, KW, Root, ABdV, Amla, Rahane, Kohli all set to play a good few years.

 

[weldone]

Has Lyon been under-bowled today? The ball is 70 overs old - we have Watson and Warner bowling from 2 ends and no Lyon. He hasn't been very expensive either.

 

[Tangles]

Cmon Stokes try for the river. You know you want to.

 

[Furball]

Root has to be rested for the ODIs with his back. Give Taylor a go in that form of the game.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Absolutely dreadful last 30 minutes from Aus. I realise they're sitting in for the new ball but christ this has been bad bowling.

Thought Stokes looked really comfortable against him. Might be why he's not on.
