[sonson]

Good for him. The West Indies bowlers of a previous generation wouldn't even have had a quick look

And they were bowling at exposed heads

 

[Jap Stammer]

I'd be getting a hamstring injury and f***ing off

 

[Steak Pie]

Aye, but the thing about Malcolm Devon is that 1 out of 18 balls would go where he intended. Yes he was fast, but he was also very wayward

And that's dangerous.

Boycs will tell you that batsmen's techniques were better as a result...........he's probably right

 

[vinegar hill]

Have we ever had a bowler this dangerous?

Probably only Larwood.

 

[TopCat]

And that's dangerous.

Ha! Fair point! The problem is, most were short and wide outside off stump

 

[ozcat]

You call it ball tampering, I call it a systematic culture of cheating from top to bottom.

Tomato/tomato.

Ah yes of course. Probably starts with the Prime Minister does it?

(Actually poor example, he’s a ****).

 

[North Yorks Mackem]

Archer landing some big psychological blows on the Aussies here. They will not be looking forward to facing him for the rest of the series. They will absolutely dread facing him in Australia on their hard pitches.

I managed a U18 team last year and the number of players who got hit on the head was unreal.

The kids think the helmet makes them invulnerable so they attempt to hit balls that they really should be leaving or ducking under.

 

[TopCat]

Archer all over Australia and he's not even near top speed yet!

 

[BIG BAZ]

nearly got him again

 

[Jap Stammer]

Doesn't know whether to sh!t, shower or shave this lad.

Only a matter of time.

 

[TopCat]

nearly got him again

Head high deliveries will eventually be banned. Just a matter a when. It’s the way of the world.

What will Cummins' stock ball be if that happens?

 

[Steak Pie]

Just a couple dropping safe when we really need everything to go our way.

What will Cummins' stock ball be if that happens?

He’ll keep taking wickets, he’s a star
