Declaring in the first innings is stupid unless you have 700 or there's been rain or something. Batting more in the first innings actually saves you time because you don't need to bat again ffs, why do commentators not realise this.

Yeah, throughout the years my opinion of a deceleration score has just gone up and up. If you're batting well first innings, why force yourself to get good quick runs when conditions and circumstances are different in the second dig?

Someone give Ashwin a medal for that cool-as-**** run out try.

 

[Spikey]

Slater raises a good point, these Melbourne ****s shouldnt get to enjoy this innings by TPC

 

[Burgey]

Jeez, they didn't bring the field up for the last ball of the over? That's cod ordinary.

 

[Spark]

The comms go on about Clarke's declaration at Adelaide without remembering we batted for two days (rain-shortened) there

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yeah, spread the field more why don't you, you ****s? Spread it enough that Ishant ****s off the ground and gets his vegetarian lunch.

 

[Spikey]

settle down steven

It can be good to get a team in on day 2 when you have a huge total up, just so that they feel that there's an impossible amount of time left to bat out in the test match. Batsmen not called AB or Faf will usually end up failing under that sort of pressure.

 

[Swingpanzee]

This is hilarious. Only thing left is someone sledging Lyon

 

[Spikey]

Lyon learning from TPC

 

[Gnske]

Shami really didn't deserve that wicket.

 

[Spikey]

"no point hanging around" uh TPC is on 190

 

[Tangles]

Wait for his double before that **** Nate ffs.
