I know he's really tall but how are some of these not wides? They're so short.

Was just going to say the same thing.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Not sure if Ollie was having a go at Green there or coming on to him.

 

[Spark]

These are two doing the right thing but my word it's hard viewing.

they have to wait for the right lengths to pull/cut them. everything else has to be ignored
why arent umpires enforcing the 2 bouncer per over rule? they should've agreed on this prior to the start of the series- this isnt a non televised club game
because they didnt enforce it in aus's innings, they are now stuck and have to be consistent the entire test match. bowlers are bowling 5 bouncers per over, 3 too many. its rubbish viewing. You know what tactic australia will use in their 2nd inn? thats right- bouncers, up to 5 per over.

It's two over the shoulder, not bouncers. Though they are taking a very very curious interpretation of what constitutes "over the shoulder".

 

[Son Of Coco]

Yes KP...your run rate was higher, and you got rolled for 90 less.

seems like about more than 2 per over, over the shoulder but below the head. Aus already know what tactic works and they will use the same method. Full or normal length just get carted on this pitch.

Is KP a annoying commentator guys

 

[Kirkut]

This is literally me bowling in EA cricket 07 waiting for the batsman to make a mistake.

 

[Spark]

Hahahaha that's a huge wide. Umpires are derelicting their duty here.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Apparently it has to be at least 3 feet over your head at a standing position to be a wide.

 

[Kirkut]

Ponting, Hayden and Gilchrist would have loved to face this sort of bowling.

 

[_Ed_]

Oh, Bairstow.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Jonny is ****ing hopeless with the gloves.

 

[Prince EWS]

Hahahaha that's a huge wide. Umpires are derelicting their duty here.

Colesy?

 

[RIcho]

Baseball is more fun to watch when England are batting than when they are bowling.

 

[Prince EWS]

Jonny is ****ing hopeless with the gloves.

That was his pads tbf.

 

[Spark]

A thing happened!

 

[Son Of Coco]

What was that dive for?

 

[Spark]

Colesy?

This is lost on me
