He nearly didn’t hold onto that one. Got into terrible positionThat big smile on ishants face was adorable. You can tell he doesn't hold on to many lol
even if it's not the waca (where that sort of dismissal is common), you do expect wickets like that on a pitch like this.After all those from Bumrah, THAT is what gets the stick!?
it's a game knowledge thing. that shot would be absolutely safe on, say, the scg. but here it's a genuine wicket-taking plan.Head seriously needs to work on that. It's probably something that will come with more experience and tbf under a better batting lineup it would be less noticeable but he needs to show better ability to hang in tight against the trap.
5/163 now effectively. Hopefully the tail can wag here, though even 200 shouldn't be that difficult to defend on this wicket.
At least he was planning on it going square. Initially I thought it was a deliberate flash over the slips.like did he not realise that 3rd man was there
Apart from Harris 1st innings all our specialist bats either gave gifts or otherwise got worked over in a fatally flawed manner.Gift. Head is still one of the better batsmen in this lineup though.
If G.Smith can bat with a ****ing broken arm..so can finchHead seriously needs to work on that. It's probably something that will come with more experience and tbf under a better batting lineup it would be less noticeable but he needs to show better ability to hang in tight against the trap.
