4th test Manchester

[Super Ted]

Thats what happens when you play at every single ball against a world class bowler.

 

[McGregor]

The duckett edge. His issue with playing at every single ball is means he won't score many runs in his career as the world class bowlers will just pick him off more times than not

 

[Hyltons finest]

That is shit

 

[hank evans]

Leave it. It’s a decent ball from a world class bowler so leave it

 

[Hongkongphooey]

Haway Ali

 

[Dexter]

Root in at 20/2 then.

 

[redandwhiterob]

Better off just committing and playing your shots. Will end up 80/5 prodding about outside the off stump

Always gonna be an issue in England

 

[jarrowdiamond]

I'll give Ali no more than 20 runs

 

[mackembhoy]

We should have batted first and they've scored too many for us to be able to then effect the game towards us winning.

But apart from that this test has gone well.

Duckett doesn't have a clue against Starc mind.

 

[LJP1786]

Starc is their most dangerous bowler. Always on edge when he’s got the ball, even more so than Cummins.

No issue from me. They picked him knowing he doesnt leave the ball, he averages close to 60 since coming back into the team not leaving the ball but his mode of dismissals will always look poor.

 

[Durham-Mackem41]

20/2 incoming can he not leave the ball?

 

[Hetty]

Waffed at it

 

[Dexter]

Moeen may as well be batting behind the stumps he’s on the back foot that much.

 

[Super Ted]

I hope i'm eating my words come 5pm but Ali at 3 is comical.

 

[redandwhiterob]

There are no tanks in Baghdad

Don’t be ridiculous. No way does Ali and Crawley score 11 more!

How does batting first help us not playing like spanner’s against a swinging ball?

11 teams have won the toss and fielded at Old Trafford prior to this and lost them all.

We need to win to save the Ashes. I'd rather not be trailing by 300+ runs to try and win to save the Ashes.

 

[Dexter]

Maiden. Booooo get on with it.
