Still a lot to criticise them for but I reckon they deserve credit for the way they changed plans and slowed the run rate in the second half of that partnership. Learnt a few things from Headingley at least

Anderson seems like a decent bloke compared to the rest of the Poms and he's older than Keys. Surely don't need to be bowling it at his head.

Didnt need to charge it either. Pretty easy to duck em.

Going back to the Bairstow stumping, is it just me, or does Carey take the ball, wind up and start to throw before Bairstow even moves.
Bairstow starts to move at almost exactly the same time as the ball leaves Carey's gloves and doesn't actually leave his crease until the ball is on its way.
It's as if Carey knew what was going to happen.

He'd been doing it all innings and last innings

So yes it was pre-mediated from Carey

Green getting smacked by the number 10 now.

Liability with the ball today.

Got the big wicket of Barstow though

ICC need to reconsider the rule that you aren't allowed to bowl at the stumps in the 4th innings.

 

[Wettoaster]

Absolutely moronic, poor old Ponting struggling to commentate, can scarcely believe it

Green isn't a bang it in bowler.

Don't like Pat's tactics today at all.

 

[THE A5]

Why no new ball?

 

[matthew_s]

not taking the new ball...why?

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Take the new ball you absolute goons.

 

[THE A5]

Are we trying to throw this?

 

[THE A5]

Finally!!

Weird ball that, it was like they tried to bounce the stump itself? Can they do that?

 

[Wettoaster]

Surprise surprise, target the stumps, boy oh boy.

Finally bowl at the stumps and it's all over.

Take the win I guess, but a pretty humbling day for Cummins as skipper.

Hopefully that's Stokes' one blitzkrieg for the series.

hah, bairstow should be credited with his own wicket.

My opinion of Cummins hit rock bottom today. New Ball is fit for selection and is the only player left out of the extended squad. How would his parents feel?
