Noticing that they're very cagey about the number of spectators actually at the ground.

Probably coz one of them is Burgey.

The crowd looks fine to me?

Just announced at 34k. That's a good turnout if anything

7 Sajid

Interesting field this, obviously for the short ball. No proper slip.

My uncle is in the Members. Said it looks quite good in the stands considering the bad forecast.

Anyone else notice it's been rather quiet here the last week or so?

Vaughan and Waugh with the Warner cap memes

Candice will not be able to resist making a statement about it imo.

I'm slightly irrationally annoyed at all those cheap wickets Starc picked up in the last game because it's really taken attention away from the fact that this is the third innings in a row now he's mostly bowled complete pus.

I am dreading those two being even more full time media personalities than they already are.

 

[Starfighter]

This is silly. Perhaps Starc should just try bowling normally.

 

[Spark]

Now there's the Sajid we all know and love.

 

[Starfighter]

The waist high short ball has been quite productive for Cummins this innings. Granted, he seems to be the only one who's accurate enough and with a tricky enough delivery to actually pull off these plans.

Not sure they'll reach 250 now.

Neither Starc nor Hazlewood actually have good bouncers beyond the surprise factor (Hazlewood's is okay but it becomes very easy to line up if he overdoes it, which this tactic guarantees). It says something that they tapped Green to start doing this when they turned to it during the Ashes rather than those two.

I'm nonplussed by the 'Starc's tall, so he's bouncy' meme still going on after over a decade. He has a low delivery, and when he bowls bouncers they usually loop in a lazy fashion.

 

[King Kane]

Salman with back to back fifties after I called him a no rounder, good to see him respond to my criticism, obviously it got through to the Pakistan camp.

 

[IcarianStyles]

Aged well.

You were saying? Starc has been bang average today

 

[Spark]

Starc taking a wicket like that after we've been slagging him off is absolutely classic, put it in a museum, Mitch Starc.

Quite suitable that it was the lack of pace and bounce that did Salman in there.

 

[Starfighter]

Now that's just pure crap. A success coming from a field set for bad shots off bad bowling.

 

[King Kane]

Right on cue he gets out, Starc should be thanking me for that wicket.
