despite some criticism at times, hes the 2nd best left armer in Test cricket history. Akram obviously, is #1 and well ahead of Starc as his average is low 20s, no one has been to Akrams level since in left arm fast bowling.

So its

Akram
**

Starc

**

And then the rest imho.

Not even top three

 

[Midwinter]

Starc has been good this series
But he has bowled a lot of dross in his day.

 

[Starfighter]

Not even top three

Who's third? And don't say Zaheer Khan (though I will accept votes for Bill Johnston)

 

[SkyBlue]

How many start-stops we've had now? Like 5-6 times? Just call the day off ffs. What's the point of going back and forth if we are playing an over or two like every hour?

Whoever's making this decision(umpire or match referee) need to be fired imo. Pretty embarrassing if you ask me.

Johnston and Boult imo, though latter is debateable if better than Mitch

Mohammad Amir certainly could've been.

Kohli and Rohit are giving a masterclass on how to ruin a legacy.

Both are overcompensating after getting humiliated in the ODI World cup final.

Rohit should retire from test cricket for sure but if Kohli is keen to carry on, I would still keep him for at least a couple more years. Too many IPL swashbucklers in this team that lack test cricket temperament.

No

 

[vicleggie]

No

You're wrong.

 

[Starfighter]

You're wrong.

No, you are.

 

[vicleggie]

No, you are.

**** off

 

[Shri]

even if Rohit and Rahul ton up here

 

[Kirkut]

What if she's a higher caste

She probably gave into her primal urges while watching Bumrah bowl, happens to the best of us.

Because it's their jobs to make sure they get as much cricket in as possible rather than pre-emptively preventing the game from happening because they'll have to go off later?

Pretty disappointing series for Pant. First one of his career.

I really suspect that knee problem is really stopping him from pressing forward as comfortably as he needs to, he just hasn't looked his usual self on the front foot this series

Steve Smith confirming the reasons batting has been more difficult since 2021 is the different Kookaburra ball and greener wickets.

not really surprising no?

 

[Burgey]

Is the light bad? Cos otherwise Lyon over Cummins here makes zero sense to me

Sounds like the answer is yes, the light is too poor for quicks.
