*Official* Fourth Test at Trent Bridge

[flibbertyjibber]

I've never seen Warner in such bad form

I have, last tour of England. Hack can't play if it moves off the straight.

good start by Aus so far (hoping i jinx it)

It only works when your ****ty team plays..I dont think it works for other teams

So now that the umpires have all but given up calling no balls, calling maybe 1 in every 10, do we hand it over to the 3rd umpire to watch a replay of the front foot every ball and add a run where appropriate?

It doesn't matter when you're losing by 500, but what happens if you go down by less than 10?

Fair enough and I can imagine how hard it is to call live as an umpire. Surely it wouldn't take much extra effort for the third umpire to just watch the no-ball line replay after each delivery and radio it to the officiating umpire within 5-10 seconds.

Australia should just refuse to play overseas then we'd win all the time

Maybe we can have all the World Cups in Australia too

 

[LegionOfBrad]

It did swing away at the last but you gotta take that.

Minimal feet movement. Trusts his eye. Plays a lot of shots of the rising ball. All ok on true wickets but not when the balls moving.

Was talking about the plays and misses. A tighter technique leads to less edges and the ball going past the bat instead of taking a nick.

Is this really the case, though?

I mean, I play and miss far more than I nick whenever I'm opening the batting. My technique isn't that crash hot, I'm just straight-up not good enough to lay bat on them.

 

[MW1304]

That was a class shot to a really good ball, has to be said.

 

[TheJediBrah]

"All about technique that one"

No IMO he just played the shot and the ball happened to swing into the middle lol

Yeah, will murder us in next ashes again when we get beaten. Probably man of series but won't do much over here. His best bet here is oval as that is usually flat and doesn't move much.

drop Finn drop Finn

i think you're confusing my posts with yours bro.

Calm down bro, World cup was like 6 months ago.

Let it go. Let's just be friends.

utter rubbish imo

also doesn't change the fact that they had been poking outside off just as much as the first innings, regardless of plays and misses

 

[MW1304]

Yes Steven mid-length stuff really worked in the first innings didn't it.

I should actually start gambhiring for England so that there's some excitement in this match

This is such an amazing start for Aus. England can't seem to buy a wicket here.

This is the Finn we know and love.

You said it yourself that's because you're ****. The 'not good enough to nick it' thing applies to non-test standard batsmen and tailenders. Top order batsman should be tight enough outside off to miss it
