[Ochre]

Couldn't have drawn up a better example of how you get Root out than those two dismissals

 

[UseR2006]

That has to be the stupidest shot i've seen someone try and play in a cricket match.
geeez.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

I don’t see the problem, perfect batting position here.

Exactly. How else was he supposed to lob it straight up in the air for Carey to glove comfortably?

I actually don’t mind the reverse sweep in test cricket cause it’s not as outrageous as it used to be over a decade ago but it always looks so ugly and reckless Is you get bowled

He has played it well, good tool to change the bowlers line and the field settings. That one just skidded a bit more and he played over top of it. Not a terrible shot but looks bad if you miss it.

Has there ever been a more over rated cricketer than Harry Brook?

Oh boy

 

[Ochre]

What a brave 5 that was

 

[matthew_s]

Oh boy

Just once I’d like to see that ginger campaigner act like he wasn’t undone by the ball of the century.

 

[Mr Eagle]

Nice, Garry.

 

[happy_eagle]

Lyon should have never been dropped

 

[THE A5]

Gaz bowling us to victory in Adelaide is as iconic as it gets

 

[TheNumber9]

Sharp bit of glove work there by Carey

 

[larrikin]

Khawaja must have a tee time tomorrow and got in Gary’s ear.

 

[Keys]

Went out of the room for a bit about half an hour ago and turned the TV off

England were 3 down

Pretty sure I’m now disqualified from turning it back on

 

[Seadog]

Went to Adelaide Oval today and a game of test cricket broke out.
Bazball is dead, long live Bazball.

 

[MrWoollie]

Harry Brook is trying his best to overtake Ben Stokes as the biggest campaigner in world cricket.

 

[TY24]

What a brave 5 that was

He's just such a competitor, isn't he Howie? Gee you can't help but love the way he goes about it. He just does it all, Stokesy.

He just loves these moments

Me at 2pm on Boxing Day after waking up at 7:30 for the first ball, sinking 12 Cooper's reds and eating a kilo of leftover ham.
