We're going to bore them into submission

Bat for three days then go the slog.

 

[Nate7]

Yep. I am at work and listening on the SEN app and they're talking about Stokes bowling off spin later.

The cricket equivalent of tanking.

The cricket equivalent of tanking.

They've already awarded themselves the moral Ashes, why not revolutionise cricket more by getting quicks to bowl spin and getting Root to bowl 140k heat.

I’ll confess… the thought of Lyon coming in with a Thommo sling shoe crusher does intrigue me

[Sillygit]

that's 12 now for bairstow?

 

[hellas_johnny]

Lol root saving bairstows skin

Lol root saving bairstows skin

Sloppy from Bairstow.


Cracker from Root though.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

The risk of batting so slow is if you lose a couple of wickets all of a sudden you put yourself under pressure

 

[Mav]

Haven’t been watching. What the * has Marnus been doing?

 

[Grogg]

Out to a great catch from Root at first just now.

Then he spits on the bloke writhing on the ground with a broken forearm after copping the direct hit.

 

[chairo]

Bloody Broad....adjusting the bails to put Marnus off....who falls for it and gets out.
Talk to me about spirit of cricket.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Impersonating Geoffrey Boycott.

Of the 30 runs today, 12 have been byes.

 

[Grogg]

Can see Ussie tonning up. Looking solid as a rock, Smith needs an innings right about now.

Brilliant by Jonny Bairstow to not move in front of Root66 and block him from seeing that ball.

He's a rock Johnny, a boulder even.

I mean, is that not how all spinners are? Or just Garry and I?

 

[Mav]

Just sat down to watch and saw the catch. But 9 of 80 balls? Has the ball been swinging, seeming and transporting?

Swinging a bit. Broad has been good. We have made good choices generally. Left a lot. Been an even old fashioned contest.

 

[Grogg]

Anderson looks like a grade cricketer these days. Why is The Linguist out? Injury?

No. They sentimentally picked Anderson. Tongue was very good is his only game

 

[gokangas]

Watching footy - 54 runs in the session? WTF?

 

[Grogg]

No. They sentimentally picked Anderson. Tongue was very good is his only game

Ridiculous decision if that's the case. He was very good and looked a lock.

Classic Hare and the Tortoise
