Third Test - England v West Indies (Old Trafford)

[TheRey]

If he didn’t catch that, facial surgery was required

He'd be scared from taking a catch again

Embarrassing coward iirc

I know it’s archers style, but surely if he ran in a bit harder he’d be over 90mph easily, he just looks average bowling at the minute

Can't remember who, but someone was saying (might have been Vaughan) that he wouldn't want him bowling 95mph every ball and that the quick one should be the surprise ball.

Ponting being a dick on twitter, veiled implication that Broad can only do it on English conditions.

The same conditions Ponting couldn't captain in...

The difference between West Indies in the first test and this one has been remarkable. Absolutely different team.

 

[TheRey]

At this rate it'll be all over before I even leave me house

Rhythm and wrist are most important.

Like most good things in life.

This is the only time I've ever wished RatboyJohnson was around, to see him flip his lid at Windies criticism

His average abroad isnt that bad at 31.5 but average in Asia is generally poor (as is normal for pace bowlers) and also Australia where its 37.
Overall he is a great bowler though and his average both overall home and away is excellent

I appreciate living in a bubble away from family for so long will have been mentally exhausting, and not rotating the squad was a terrible decision on their part. But, the collapse in performance is still disappointing.

Was set up for a really exciting series after the first one, since then England’s toughest opponent has been the rain.
