This is dull

Trying to save a game and stop going 2-0 down

 

[trundler]

Send Lyon out to bat, let him get hit on the head then they can sub him for Murphy

I know this is a joke but isn't he literally in crutches?

 

[halba]

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

that'll take a 50 overs at his rate. RR is 1.8

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.

why do you sound like slippy

It is indeed curious. Wonder if this question will actually be asked in the pressers. Why should the onus to move the game forward be entirely on the batsmen?

 

[Son Of Coco]

Bazzyline sure is entertaining to watch. The kids will be gathered around the TV today in homes all over England.

 

[_Ed_]

West Indies are out of the ODI World Cup

I'm really not a fan of the 10-team format.

 

[trundler]

attracting kids

He's been a vocal critic so far but @Prince EWS can get behind this

 

[Qlder]

West Indies are out of the ODI World Cup

What's that got to do with the Ashes other than England should be scratched from the WTC?

 

[CartyDurham]

Unlikely as this is being watched by about half a million per per view subscribers

The free to air is shown later and only an hours play

 

[halba]

West Indies are out of the ODI World Cup

WI are terrible at ODI's. Only T20 and Tests somewhat competitive.

It’s a sad day .

 

[Gob]

I liked test cricket before it was being saved

Send Lyon out to bat, let him get hit on the head then they can sub him for Murphy

They should lie him on the pitch at the 9.2 metre mark with his helmet facing the non-striker's end and then loop his crutches together and hook them around one of his feet to keep him behind the popping crease. He's guaranteed to get sconed on the full.

 

[halba]

Thats cricket for the day- ive switched to Binge.TV for late night Sat viewing here
this is way too boring.

 

[CartyDurham]

Why not declare and bounce England out?

England are clearly trying to bore Australia out and take up as much time as possible

 

[TimAngas]

Would prefer watching Aus v Pak at Rawalpindi than what we're getting here.

agree. this is ridiculous.

 

[Calm_profit]

Stokes is going to injure himself

 

[RIcho]

Tubby Taylor speaking absolutely rubbish.
