Stokes is more aggressive now.

Nasser: ''Bairstow is quick" Doesn't look like it.

Quick to the buffet line.

Why is Sangakarra fan girling for England?

If a completely different ball tracking was played over the footage of the LBW appeal it would be obvious to anyone and easily proven with a simple screenshot.

Yeah but building 7

 

[A Pom]

You understand sarcasm yeah?

I do, that post fit right in with some of the 'serious' posts on the thread so far today though.

As an NZ supporter that barracks against the Aussies in the Ashes I thought he umpired superbly in that series.

Except maybe for the one terrible decision that cost the series....

Casper didnt hit it.

So after all this **** smoking, they are scoring at an entire .7 RPO more than our first innings at the moment.

Revolutionary

 

[MinerBoy]

Not sure how you can say that, they put on 130 runs. Another session like that and we can't win.

If we’re chasing 280 we definitely can. No certainty of course but we are right in it

The number of wickets you take is inversely proportional to the amount of hair on your head.

It requires very specific conditions to work. Hence why they made sure the pitch was an ODI wicket. They know if they served up a bowler friendly wicket against this attack that they’d struggle to get past 100

No it doesn’t.

Not having a shot at you but you need to actually look at the matches they have played since they adopted this approach.

Was it anything more than interesting that Harry Brook had a MLB sticker on his bat?

It reminds me of what 'Bazball' is. Swing and a miss batter batter. None of the grace and class of Test Cricket. No tension if there are no concequences.

He went and spent preseason with an MLB club, you know, because he’s the golden boy..

Colonialism?

If his IQ hits 60 he should sell.

i guess that means they can lose more quickly?

We had far more bowlers friendly wickets against South Africa and New Zealand. Bar the 1 absolute pancake in Pakistan the other pitches in Pakistan also showed some decent turn.

 

[ams4crows]

Instead of saying oooh need a wicket here what we actually need is a brain fade from one of the batters

WTF is with Broad's hair

Nah, didn't know

But Baseball and Bazball have relevence only in the way they cheapen Cricket.

 

[Foucault1989]

Can Sangakarra say one thing positive about Australia?

 

[Sphynx]

Pitches were roads in New Zealand.

 

[RandB]

They're looking at 250+ here if we don't take som wickets in the next few overs.

Gonna be tough.

 

[showusyacunningt]

Worst outcome is Stokes bats himself into form and us out of the game

 

[danielnajdek]

Boland has been awful.

 

[deanc]

Boland needs to be dropped for next test, bring Neser in

If I was to compile a review of your comments over the past few days, accordingly only Khawaja, Green and Carey will be playing in the 2nd test.....
