Don’t be sillyHonestly kinda surprised England didn't just forfeit their 2nd innings.
Outside an ashes do you watch much of Englands Tests ?Ashes81, meet Baz and Ben. Baz and Ben, Ashes81.
Foakes to open next test.
History and subsequent ECB inquiries into Yorkshire have proven Warner's prescience. The at-best racist-adjacent Joe Root still has questions to answer.On fighting , has warners fist recovered after hitting Roots jaw? Appears his grip has long gone due to the hardness of root by the looks of it
I think Stokes will be able to bowl 10 overs a day if needed.He keeps saying no when asked.
Given how little Stokes has been able to bowl it wouldn't surprise me if they went with four quicks + Root.
Stokes has bowled 24 overs in his last 6 testsx
I think Stokes will be able to bowl 10 overs a day if needed.
Next Test at Lords will Wood be the 4th bowler with Root to bowl spin. If Wood has played at Edgbaston he would have gone for 50/60 runs not 150 like Ali.
Surely Ali won't be able to bowl with his raw finger. Maybe another spinner will be chosen.
1 Test is not proof of anything either way lol....We've literally just seen perfect evidence of this. But yes, nonsense, of course.
Also I didn't say there was no seam movement, but Test pitches on the whole are much flatter than they used to be.
The ball not seaming is down to the pitch being flat, not your magical clouds making it green. Stop being moronic about basic facts.Mate have you actually been watching this test.
The ball has done sweet **** all off the seam all match. Yes that's to do with the pitch but also the overhead conditions.
The overhead conditions change and suddenly the ball starts seaming.
Now I can't explain it, I know it doesn't make much sense but I've been watching cricket in England since the 1970s and take it from me, it often happens.
Unrealistic - there's no way Australia would beat a team led by Brendon McCullum... to the golf course in the above scenario.Or get rolled for 120 with seven blokes caught on the fence then have an extra net session tomorrow while Aus go and celebrate the win by having a game of golf.
Ponting is not a bowler. Just a captain fielder. The bowler is often the one that is front and centre on TVI'm probably late to the discourse but Australian cricket has a weird opposition to sendoffs imo. I don't think it's fair to label Ponting and co as doing similar behaviour to Robinson's sendoff, when Watson did that sendoff to Gayle he got rebuked for that, however those players stood in the slips and basically did the same thing all day (hence why I think it's a weird opposition)
Watson was an absolute **** with his wicket celebrations. Just because he's Australian doesn't and make it okI'm probably late to the discourse but Australian cricket has a weird opposition to sendoffs imo.

And he got plenty of stick for it. Australian cricket in all it's parts is, generally, being pretty consistent in giving Robinson stick for this too.Watson was an absolute **** with his wicket celebrations. Just because he's Australian doesn't and make it ok
