Lets just show that again for the viewers at home.....

 

[NUFAN]

Gun call Burgey, Siddy!

Moves past Dilley and Max Walker with the wicket.

One more wicket and he's tied 100th with the next Botham, Phil DeFreitas,

 

[Spikey]

lyon being moved to point or gully or whatever a feel good story

 

[Burgey]

Thirimanne hasn't looked all that great but he's fought hard and his cover driving is good to watch. Really leans into the shot well.

I'm noticing this ATM as it's something in trying to emphasise to Burgeinho - not to drive with a stiff front leg. I can't really show him that well myself because my knees are stuffed.

Wasn't Siddles New Years resolution to bowl no more no balls?

i hear your leg struggles to get stiff nowadays too

It's a nightmare because these blokes serve up pies and I can't really lean into the shot like I used to. You notice how it effects your control over the ball once you can't hit it properly anymore.

Fortunately a lot of them still drop too short too often.

 

[Burgey]

Anyone think Bird could get more out of his action if he got his front arm higher? Touch of the Simon Jones about the way he doesn't really extend it.

 

[Spikey]

fascinating innings this from Mr T

 

[Burgey]

Good knock that.

 

[benchmark00]

I'd be surprised if Chandimal doesn't contribute. Class player, even if he has gone through tough times.

 

[benchmark00]

No Rich, no.

 

[Tangles]

Its not swinging cause MJ is bowling and landing it all over any shine the thing had before he got it.

 

[Top_Cat]

It's a nice change to hear Benords talk about his own cricket.

'Well bowled by Johnson'


Come on Bill. It was short and wide.

It's the ends not the means ****.

See: Botham.

Bit of nipple touching in covers there.
