Big drop there

"Fly slip" just sounds cooler then "short third man", particularly when "short" usually denotes a reasonably close fielding position (I guess except short fine leg, or "fly leg slip").

It's almost an intention thing too

Someone placed for a catch specifically rather than as a run saver

I'm not a fan of Konstas not walking onto the field with his partner.

It doesn't scream unity, nor respect.

Imagine if everyone keeps a fine third man for Konstas, and he never ramps again.

He's playing the rest of his career with one fewer slip in than anyone else.

It’s actually a ridiculous field setting. Surely early in the innings you let him try and play the shot.

We can add it to the list of things he'll do that will rile up traditionalists!

It's got nothing to do with tradition.

Huge test for Konstas this morning. Bit of movement out there, how will he approach it

 

[k31th]

genuine edge didn't carry, I think

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Edges dying short of the slips-pitch keeping low?

Bounced just in front of jaiswal

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Close

 

[ptrg]

Don’t shoot the messenger. Simon Taufel just said it 10 minutes ago on Channel 7: I’m assuming it relates to when there is no conclusive evidence

I'll even take that rule then?

He was with Khawaja until he crossed the rope

Who were our last opening pair with matching first letters of their surname?

 

[dogs105]

Oh. We're back on the Freeway of ****wittery

When I hear people complaining about the T20 influence on cricket I'm reminded of the old duffers when I was a kid whose idea of good cricket was watching Barrington and Bailey score 150 in a day grumbling about how "pyjama cricket" was destroying the game.

Edges dying short of the slips-pitch keeping low?

Perfect for Cummins and Boland on day 5

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Benefit of doubt always goes to the batsman,move on and has not cost us any more runs any way.

Yeah, I’ve moved on, as you said, didn’t cost us anything in the end. Still thought it was definitely out.

 

[eddiesmith]

Konstas pulled a muscle trying to hype up the crowd yesterday?

I like that he wants to get out there and face the first ball though, for years our openers have been fighting to be the non-striker

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

It's got nothing to do with tradition.

Ok, but I think traditionalists will side with you on that one

 

[BGman]

It doesn't scream unity, nor respect.

No. Something team management will have to sort with him.

Where was this excessive seam movement when we took the second cherry yesterday.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Perfect for Cummins and Boland on day 5

Problem is Starc will bowl 20 overs of pies to near close lose it

Yeah this is shocking. You could tell Usman was really disrespected by Konstas doing this…..
Or, most likely, Usman isn’t a little b***h boy, and couldn’t give a rats a**e.

The bloke could ride his cricket bat out there like a horse, 20 mins before his partner comes out, if that helps his batting mindset.

Warner & Watson?
