Oh and one thing Kiwi. Sandpapergate, yes, but checking the rules on the occasion of the underarm ball incident, NOT cheating, within the laws of the game, but changed real quick after that ****ty decision by G Chappell. So, ... should be far from under the title, A short history of Aussie cheating ...The most famous cases 1.Greg Chappell ordered his younger brother Trevor ...etc.
Commentators pondering who England can inject into side for next game. Adil Rashid was mentioned. I have read that some of you want Woakes to play. As I'm not remotely invested in cricket, let alone English cricket, apart from engaging in friendly banter with fellow Rs, I'm wondering if you guys agree with the commentators. ??
Hard to see Moeen doing much more bowling in this game, so England really struggling now. Need to bat big second time round.
Skies look dark in Birmingham. Anyone know if rain imminent? If so, this could turn into a quasi-T20/one dayer, if England truly want to play Bazzball. Should be fun.
Gillespie looks so much like my nephew, but with grey hair. And Tubby either very short or Jason is a giant.
Internet says Taylor 6'1" and Dizzy 6'5". One is completely wrong. Gillespie looked about 1 foot taller than Tubs.
Rain expected all day on Tuesday. This game needs to be done by stumps Monday if correct. Should get interesting if England go for win. Bazzball from the start of their second dig.
Brilliant first session from England. 20 miles away or so from Edgbaston and the air is very heavy, expecting showers and thunder later. Once again Cummins sets a field which lets England score over 4 an over in singles.
The sides are closely matched apart from when it comes to captaincy. Stokes is brilliant and Cummins is ordinary.
