Henry in this innings making me pine for Wagner...

 

[straw man]

Disappointed by Henry - yesterday against Cook and now too, he's been too quick to abandon what works well for him (good length with movement) and try all sorts of other random rubbish - short balls, yorkers, inswing etc, which he hasn't executed well.

 

[straw man]

Craig's hair as he runs in to bowl

 

[vandem]

Awful over by Henry. Not complaining.

Assume bowling short on instructions from BMac. Don't know why, can recall only one Broad leg-side mis-hit from a short ball today. IMHO more chance of getting a sliced drive to 3rd man than holing out a deep mid wicket ...

... then BMac takes away 3rd man

I think you may be right, but Henry earnt his chance.

 

[GIMH]

This innings could be hugely important for Broad's confidence with the blade

Mitchell...



Stark or Johnson.

 

[Adders]

So you've mentioned.............about a dozen times now.

Edit:

And it's Starc not Stark and he quite likely wont even be playing.

 

[Flem274*]

The team orders for the third quick to bowl back of a length ruined bracewell and don't help henry either. If we must persist with this archetype then go back to wagner or pick duffy from obscurity. This isn't what henry or bracewell are good at.

 

[Athlai]

Wheres the third test String? Wheres the third?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

One innings match then.

 

[Swingpanzee]

Intreseting

Henry bowls a natural length. Henry gets a wicket.

Well slogged by the engine room

"Or"

 

[Spikey]

well that was a waste of time.

i guess you could say the difference in quality between these sides is not starc

 

[91Jmay]

Always a worry with a dashing middle order like ours that it can collapse, and they've all got runs in the tank for now would say. Still though we are so collapse prone. Great tail wag, test match set up beautifully though.

 

[Stapel]

Lunch? Or what? They're not coming out for a single over, surely?

If they are indeed team orders then they're rubbish.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

So basically if we win the next session then we will be favourites for the match. NZ probably need to win the next 2 to become favourites.

This test is like mario kart. As soon as one team gains the ascendency the other gets AI catch up mode and the spikey blue shell
