Are you sure about us playing 6 bowlers?

What do you mean? They are obviously not playing 6 bowlers here and nor should they but it is something that has been suggested.

Shocking fielding..

 

[Pothas]

He said it shook his confidence massively and he had nightmares about it, so I dunno. He always had a short ball problem though.

Yeah, it clearly effected him pretty badly but it is often given as the sole reason that his batting has declined so much.

I didn't realise that's what you were responding to, hence my confusion. Sorry.

Broad's 169 was in that famous Amir match-fixing match I just found out. So it'd be a nice little coincidence if he came good with the bat this series

 

[LegionOfBrad]

About average that from Broad. Though I suppose it wasn't bouncer/Yorker.

 

[91Jmay]

Great catch. Don't mind Broad playing shots though, he isn't going to survive the new nut so might as well try to slash us past 300.

oh my god this is literally the greatest jinx of all time. only thing that could make it any better was if amir overstepped.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Broad just missing out on his best score of 14 this year. Should be relegated to 11.

 

[grecian]

This should be fun, Moeen against the new ball looking for quick runs.

Is Warne seriously thinking about a declaration. What a clown.

No. He would never have done it himself either.

 

[mr_mister]

no Warnie no declaration

 

[Furball]

See that's where I like Warne. Bit of an out there suggestion about England maybe wanting a quick dart but it gets you thinking.

 

[mr_mister]

biggest devil's advocate lol not even worth discussing it

 

[Furball]

Haha this is out.

 

[Compton]

Was it last year in Sheffield Shield, maybe the year before. There was a declaration when still trailing second innings of the match because the bowling conditions were so good? I'm sure the deficit was still 50-100 or something. Skittled the opposition out sharpish and won the match.

Could be misremembering details.

 

[mr_mister]

hope Ali stays not out for dat average

 

[Furball]

Well I gave it anyway. Forgot Finn is 17 feet tall so less plumb than I thought.

I somehow recall the same thing happening in FC cricket in West Indies or something but it backfired
