A penny for Pope's thoughts watching Brook's charmed life at the crease

 

[Howsie]

Old feet for hands Phillips strikes again

 

[King Kane]

We seem to be allergic to catching Brook, 5 drops now, unbelievable.

 

[CartyDurham]

Brook having a giggle there , looking to the heavens

what was he on for the first drop chance ?

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

He can't be stopped!!!

A penny for Pope's thoughts watching Brook's charmed life at the crease

Made the fatal error of offering a diving one hander instead of hitting it straight at the fielder.

Brook hits the ball too hard to be caught. Genius

I'm massively impressed by o rourke's abilities. He's gotten quicker as he bowls more spells and is now holding the 90mph mark at a challenging line and length. His bounce does not die...what a profile of player he is for us. The rest of our boys start off at top pace all fresh but drop off frighteningly after a few overs.

And brook is dropped off his bowling YET AGAIN. Nathan smith and will o'rourke please demand triple your match fee for this game.

@ashley bach maximum break 147 brook currently

new ball taken. Extra hard to allow for more drops

brook gets 150 or stokes 50 first ?

Tim southee with an inspiring new ball burst with the first few fired down at 122km. Enthralling stuff.

 

[straw man]

I did think Southee's new ball spell yesterday was good - he was bowling low 130s though, whereas this spell he's struggling to crack 125 so far . Makes the shape he's getting almost irrelevant.

 

[Meridio]

Southee rocketing them down at 121.5ks. he bowled a good first spell yesterday but that's just woeful, even though it's swinging they've got so much time to play it
