Jack Leech but is he much better than Ali? Not sure.

He sucks.

Huh... huh...

I honestly haven’t seen a lot of him

 

[W.C. Fry]

They asked to change the ball every 2nd over. Now they can change it and they don't want to.

 

[k31th]

I'm amazed England haven't taken the new ball and doubly amazed that they're persisting with Ali after they saw what Root & Denly can do with the same old ball...

do the 12th men really need vests

Safety gear for the poms as Steve Smith is hazardous

 

[Bedi]

whack!

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

And that ball is promptly dispatched to the fence.

 

[Badesumofu]

Tied super over goes to a boundary count back... perfect.

I'm not sure about this idea of a 'super over' but I am intrigued by your avatar and would like to see more

 

[Woody15]

Yes mate

 

[Belnakor]

Have you noticed the player numbers on the front of their shirts, the number they were selected? England have picked over 700 players to play for them and Australia only into the 400's. We pick a lot more consistently.

To be fair England ran 2 sets of teams at one point and they also another 50 or so from nebulous teams touring SA that were barely FC level matches that somehow become test fixtures.

 

[The Casey Cat]

Good stuff Wade. My god what a rubbish half tracker from Ali though.

Do any of em need numbers?

Probably has better control but that's about it.

 

[FRUMPY]

Wade used to get bogged down and play a dumb shot. Was either trying to hit a boundary or a dot ball. Has obviously learned to turn it over a lot more with singles.

Kumar appreciates the majesty that is Wade...

 

[k31th]

nicely done, Wade

Yes. That roller is a dangerous bit of kit and the driver might not see a cricketer wearing white on a green field!

 

[The King!]

persisting with spin is one thing, but why persist with Ali

 

[Hamingja]

If they play a spinner at Lord's I think they'll go for Jack Leach. He's the leading English spinner this season and apparently Smith's record against left arm is significantly lower than off spin.

Sounds like the logic we used when we picked Doherty against Pietersen

 

[Anzacpaul]

English cameramen are useless.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

There are probably poeple on this board that could have smacked that one to the rope. Pure yuck.

Is this like when we picked Xavier Doherty because of KPs apparent weakness to left arm spin, and he then went and made a double ton?

Hope we aren't too conservative with the total we set. Bad light & rain might take some overs off.

 

[Visions]

The silence of this crowd.

It’s great isn’t it. They realise that their team is in trouble.

They didn’t even acknowledge Ali bringing up his hundred, just some polite applause from the Aussie supporters.
