I think Ebs is really good.

... So is Woakes. Great ball.

 

[Beau Peep]

Bit of a Hail Mary of a review. Captain's privilege. He did get well across I suppose.

 

[Boo]

Big moment here. Their key batter.

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

One before lunch please

 

[Liverpool Beachball]

That looked close. Woakes is bowling brilliantly again

 

[Jack Torrance]

Worst I've seen Jimmy bowl for a while

 

[Steak Pie]

Woakes and Archer were bowling magic stuff before lunch, don't understand why you wouldn't start with them after.

81mph from Archer at present, very underwhelming.

And a spinner who doesn’t turn it at the other end. WTF is Root doing?

 

[SA96]

Pakistan still floating around 3/1 for the win. If they get 350, I reckon they're favourites.

Babar is lovely to watch mind. Reminds me a bit of amla

 

[WCC]

Terrible bowling all round after lunch.

 

[chopsfc007]

Bit of spin

 

[Jack Torrance]

That's where Foakes would be handy

 

[SAFC11]

Butler drop

 

[chopsfc007]

That's where Foakes would be handy

He's dropped 2 catches in 2 years

 

[Lawrenceslongthrowin]

Babar like the children’s book about an elephant?

 

[scaly_piscine]

Beyond me why you'd want Archer (who's been rather hot and cold after the Ashes last year - prolonged periods of medium fast mediocrity) as your only bowler who can potentially pose a threat when the pitch flattens out in a 5 man attack. Can't do much about the spin department but you can't pick Woakes & Broad & Anderson all together. Yet they still do it. They knew the weather forecast. Baffling.

Sarcasm?
