The Aussies have gone full Bazball here

Sankari · 1 Jul 2023 at 12:26

And just like that, we are 4 down!

:eek:

Could easily have been more if we could catch as well. Madness

That was a very silly drop, for sure.

I like the look of Josh Tongue. Bit of aggression about him. He could be useful in Aus / SA as well

We've lost our Head!

Joe Root!

Sankari · 1 Jul 2023 at 14:13

Looking more likely that Cummins will declare <400. Perhaps even ~350.

Sankari · 1 Jul 2023 at 15:01

England's patience has just been rewarded.

Sankari · 1 Jul 2023 at 15:14

Oh, it's getting feisty out there! Australia 7 for 242 as Cummins comes to the crease! Amazing scenes!

Sankari · 1 Jul 2023 at 15:33

Lead is now 350.

Sankari · 1 Jul 2023 at 15:45

Cummins is out, declaration soon?

Stokes bowling to Lyon. They don't even make one fit person between them.

Absolutely stupid beyond belief sending him out in his state :mad:

omnomnom · 1 Jul 2023 at 16:00

Ridiculous bordering embarassing tbh

manic111 · 1 Jul 2023 at 16:09

Not sure why he's out there.

I've torn my calf before - putting any weight on it at all in the two days after doing so was impossible. I was literally crawling around my flat.

manic111 · 1 Jul 2023 at 16:13

In all seriousness, why not bung Root on to bowl at these two? They're not going to run anything, so bring him on and see how long they manage to hit him back over his head for. My guess is one six then out.

Same, I used to think footballers were wimps when they went down with pulls and tears, that was until I did it myself and I have never felt pain like it. If he wants to be in there the should just be sending the ball into the body with every ball

England bowlers are an absolute joke

manic111 · 1 Jul 2023 at 16:16

It's ridiculous - just bowl normal, decent deliveries. They won't be hitting boundaries without big risks, and they aren't scoring anything other than boundaries.
