That was his pads tbf.

If he's wearing them on his hands, that would explain a lot.

the minute you drop the ball on a length it gets smashed for a 444
this is the pitch from hell- you have to bowl short literally every ball and hope the umpires dont enforce
this pitch gets a really bad rating

Why haven't they taken the new ball? Apart from demonstrating that they know sooo much better than any sort of conventional wisdom?

[Lefty]

Will Aussies dangle the carrot and declare with 420 lead

We have to get a lead of 420 before we can decide what we want to do.

 

[Prince EWS]

Anderson: What's the gameplan for my last Ashes?

Stokes: We're going to tell the groundsmen to prepare roads, bowl constantly short to defensive fields, never take the new ball, and declare after whenever we've batted 75 overs so you're never fresh.

Anderson: ....

Stokes: We're saving Test cricket!

Should put away that shot for now. He can't keep it down anyway.

 

[Daemon]

I was told England only cares about entertaining the crowd and that Bazball is for attracting kids to the game. Not sure what they're doing here.

 

[TimAngas]

Been out for the last ninety minutes, see I haven't missed much.
