[Frustrated]

Head IN.   His knock will decide the fate of this test.

I think even our tail can hold their forte against these English seamers with their dobbly 130 KPH length balls. That is exactly why Australia are going to walk their way to this target. Cummins, Lyon and Hazlewood alone are capable of scoring 50 between them.

 

Don't bet on that. England b owlers are highly skilled in setting up batsmen.  You need to be shock them to do well. Pant successfully did at the oval. And another guy who did well was Tom Blundell.   Daryl Mitchell was also highly proactive when he was here. Just t hat others went missing.

Punter is taking a dig at how much time India to take before using bouncers against Head.

[vvvslaxman]

Would you believe it. New batmsan. overcast conditions. No SLIP !!!

 

[vvvslaxman]

Broad is not a bouncer specialist. He still bowls anyway. Each fast bowlers has to have atleast 2 or 3 skills in their armory. Cannot have separate bowler for separate skills

[vvvslaxman]

Khawaja's average against over the wicket ball is very poor. 18 or something.

[putrevus]

Indian bowlers had no business of leaking 469 runs in the first innings to Australia in much more Overcast conditions along with much more helpful pitch.

Khwaja without his form is the tuk tuk version of Pujara

That pitch and ground was more conducive for scoring quickly than this one.

He is an year or so away from retirement. So any loss of form even brief one will cost him the spot. That has been the case all his career since 2011. Atleast dropped 5 times from the side.

That's exactly what our tail did in 2021 against the right arm medium a thon that was the England bowling. 

[vvvslaxman]

Field set is spot on. And also bowlers bowl to field.

[vvvslaxman]

Even Taylor is not happy with the scoring rate of Australia

[vvvslaxman]

Good to see Aussie commies pointing out the flaws of their own team, own players from time to time unlike our commies who is in full on fan boy mode.

[vvvslaxman]

These are harmless bouncers. They need someone like Archer in prime to shake this guy

[vvvslaxman]

Broad has his tail up. Next ball yorker.

[Norman]

Is anyone's Sony LIV taking a long long time to load the match at the beginning? Also mine is glitching hard when I click on the highlights on the time bar...

[vvvslaxman]

They have a short square leg, forward short leg. Both areas covered.

[Frustrated]

M ali comes in and gets smashed 1st ball.  By Head.  

[vvvslaxman]

MSD captaining lol I thought about that field set.  Sangakkara immediately said the same. Stragith fielder for Pollard by MSD>
