Why do Australia have the keeper up to an 88mph heavy ball bowler, what’s going on.
Trying to force the batsmen to stay in the crease

was key in Smiths dismissal and also allowed Bairstow to survive to huge lbw shouts as he was down the pitch

It’s on terrestrial here which nobody with pay tv watches except for sport like this

9 has about 4 channels so you have to scroll through about 100 terrestrial ones before you find it
Cheers. Skysports in the U.K. which is a pay channel. It’s part of my deal for broadband and mobile phone contracts

Boland is a bit of an issue for the Aussies - we've targeted him and by batting out of the crease reduced the chances of LBW.

To counter this the keeper has stood up to the stumps but that reduces the caught behind option.

Surprised Boland hasn’t bowled a few bouncers up the batsmen’s hooter
