On the same ground England hunted down 377 with ridiculous ease against us. But NZ's Matt Henry bowled very well here albeit against that insipid England under root.

Compared to that sleepy head vada pav who brainlessly gave 6 overs on the trot to each seamer then didn't use them for a long time. No aggressive thoughtful field sets. England may or may not win. But they are bloody doing everything to apply pressure. vada pav is a monument to the concept 'captaincy by numbers'. Even kohli tried to make things happen sometimes.
MechEng Posted June 19, 2023 Posted June 19, 2023 Good nerves from Boland so far. Huge task cut out for Head, Usman and green tomorrow.
Kothili Posted June 19, 2023 Posted June 19, 2023 wtf is wrong with Smith and Labu? even Boland is negotiating Broad better. Stan AF 1

Gave his best for wtc final but that should be it. yes, punter like decline coming up. he should retire soon instead of waiting forever - maybe with an avg of around 55-56. root should be able to many more years before his own decline sets in.

It is a titanic f*** up to appoint this unfit clown as Test captain. Missed already 5 or 6 tests overseas as captain.
vvvslaxman Posted June 19, 2023 Posted June 19, 2023 Austrlaia has to be aggressive. Otherwise England will be all over them. After sometime ball will reverse. Stokes will come into picture as well.

Stokes will come into picture as well. they don't need stokes or even moeen. their pace quartet (ollie, broad, andie, and brook) + root will be enough

vvvslaxman Posted June 19, 2023 Posted June 19, 2023 Last year Bumrah teed off against Broad and created a world record. They need someone to rattle Broad. If you allow him to bowl the way he wanted he will eventually get you.

This is reason why i feel root should end up as best test batsman of this generation by the end of his career. 40-45 centuries with 15k runs will be good enough for me and it looks quite possible with the way he is batting right now. Smith will struggle to get 1000 runs more now.
rollingstoned Posted June 19, 2023 Posted June 19, 2023 A brisk Bazball innings from Head is necessary for Australia to win this. Game is done otherwise imo.
