Dropped already

Head dropped and smith gone wow

[Bigg Brother]

Smith gone now...

[Bigg Brother]

Would have been 5 down if not for Andu. And why is Anderson in that position?

[Sgattick10]

Such a huge miss by Anderson. 

[Black Zero]

fielding alone is the biggest Difference and will most likely mean Eng instead of being 2-0 up will be 2-0 down, Just shows how important fielding is , it can make or break.

[Bigg Brother]

Head can go anytime against short balls. Didn't watch WTC final, what did our dead weights do against him?

[vvvslaxman]

It is the form that keeps Head going. Otherwise this is a massive weakness for Head. He is being given a work over. He is certainly no comfortable. Reminds me of Kambli. He jumps to defend

Zero match ups how chutiya is our cricket analytic team 

[vvvslaxman]

KP  is taking a dig at critics against English batsmen. Is that okay to get caught this way when you play short ball

[Nikhil_cric]

Sun expected to come out by 2:30 by which time OZ could be all out. Feels like OZ were batting under clouds the whole match. 

[Nikola]

Tounge can't keep bowling for long. Probably 1 more over at max so they should keep waiting.

[Sgattick10]

Hmm Mark Taylor calls it intimidation and Umps should intervene if goes on, KP doesn't agree

Yea we should have put 500. There was nothing in the pitch.

 

Pujara once again crapped his pants and played an uncharasteristic shot on a nothing ball. All he needed to do was to do his usual tuk tuk and Pant would have taken us to safer waters. He got out and then we went to panic mode thanks to our pathetic tail. 

[vvvslaxman]

Head was first shelled by Anderson. Second one was out of reach. But still risky.

This is already beyond the reach of Bazball. Aussies have found the way to get these brainless batters out..

 

Aussies are really bad at defending fourth innings totals just like us. If England get a good aggressive start the anything below 400 will be game on.

Both teams suck against short ball.  Just that Australia leaves it better. But Head won't do so he will give you chances
