The way Smith is cleaning that ball with his sleeve, I'll be checking if he's got anything stitched in the cuff!
I disagree about Duckett. He tried to pull the ball along the ground but didn't catch it right. Same as Pope who played the right shot but caught it off the toe and it lobbed up. Crawley was the only guy who gave his wicket away.
****ing cheats. Always have been, always will be. Winning more important than anything to these convicts
For me, Smith or Warner should have never played test cricket again but the Aussie authorities didn't have the balls to do that
I had to laugh when some commentators called their bans "over the top". Deliberately cheating should be a lifetime ban. I don't mind Warner, he plays the bad guy and enjoys the abuse. Smith is just snidey, cheating ****
Funnily enough I don't mind Warner. Smith tho...when the Hollies were singing saw you cry on the telly...he was trying to act cool lol but it was embarrassing.. he was clearly affected by it!
Be such a shame if that absolute bell end Lyon is out of the rest of the series. He loves to talk about ending people's careers......maybe he's just ended his own
As a runner, who runs average distances in excess of 6 miles, I spit every few miles (3/4 times every 4/5 miles). As a cricketer, who runs once every 5 or 6 minutes, what the absolute…..)
If Stokes wasn't captain he wouldn't even get in that side. Barely bowls and doesn't really offer anything with the bat anymore.
He had a golden year in 2019 but his batting has really dropped off of late. Don't know the stats but you are right - he doesn't offer much at the mo
Think a lot is to do with his fitness. At least he was out to a decent delivery. Unlike Crawley, Duckett, Pope and Root! We’ve given away 4 of the 5 wickets to fall. Hopefully brook can keep himself there and Bairstow can bat a while too. Chip away at the lead
IN actual fact there's not that much of a difference in his record of late, his record as captain or his record overall: Test Match Average - 35.75 Record as captain - 33.90 Record in 2019 - 45.61 Record sine 2019 - 35.46
This is a massive partnership. Need Brook to get a ton and Bairstow to support him. I understand that attacking is the current brand, but they are a bowler down and if they want to bowl short then let them. They'll get tired eventually and then we can feast on the likes of Head/Smith on For ****s sake
