vvvslaxman Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 This is the thing. When the new ball is taken usually teams would be 280 or 300. So you can induce a collapse still. But England is already 491 in 94 overs making their second new ball redundant even if there is a collapse
putrevus Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 Cummins is bowling as if he a trundler last two tests. He needed to impose his will on England but he has failed to do so.

vvvslaxman Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 That ball was not exactly good length. just short of good length. Ball clipped top of off stump. it seemed bounced less than expected. Imagine Wood's 94 mph balls keeping low.
vvvslaxman Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 122 runs in a session. That is considered attrition cricket by England's current standard
vvvslaxman Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 So Taylor > Ponting as captain. Taylor wanted new ball right away. Ponting wanted that to be delayed. New ball was swinging.
vvvslaxman Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 Harry Brook has evolved in this Ashes. He is mixing attack and defense exuding confidence.
vvvslaxman Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 Very interesting to listen to Mark Taylor and his background. A rural background although lived in Sydney for 44 years. One interesting talk was about SCG pitch nature back in those days. The would pick 3 spinners and 2 seamers there !! Spinners would bowl 100 overs
Vijy Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 57 minutes ago, MechEng said: Nah, you don't expect England to hold such high morals / spirit of cricket drama to be hurt by that Bairstow dismissal, when they would also resort to such tactics to win games, Stokes is definitely not a saint. It's just poor cricket from Australia all round, don't see any intent from them to be honest. Their first 2 wins were not comprehensive either. it's not about whether Eng cheats (they certainly do), but more about their perception of having been cheated
vvvslaxman Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 Laws of the cricket has to be respected as much as spirit of the cricket - Mark Taylor on Bairstow's dismissal. He said he would not have recalled like he did in the past as it was planned. Hope Aussies/English don't whine about running out at non striker end anymore
vvvslaxman Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 Among the English i like Athers. He is very welcoming. eulbninem 1

vvvslaxman Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 Rain already stopped. But i don't see much of cloud
vvvslaxman Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 Hover cover is broken. So they have a dhoti covering the ground
vvvslaxman Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 Conspiracy theory : Hover cover sabotaged to give England advantage. Discussion between Hussain and Sangakkara
