Any twitching yet

This pitch looks flat as owt now.

Yep good thing Moeen is out there.

Were going to need him

This pitch looks flat as owt now.

I think spin will be important in those foot marks. Their useless Potterboy was getting uneven bounce.

I hope these are 9 down, with Warner on 99 and Broad gets him out

Jimmy may be the greatest, but Broady is showing him how to go in style.
It will be humiliating if he doesn't get the contract next year (like he shouldn't).

He averaged 16 in New Zealand in Feb and averaged 19 last year.

He's never really been great against the Aussies.

Jimmy isn't going anywhere. Will be needed in India.

 

[Nasser Butt-Head]

But we all love the drama of whether to take the review, then watching the result when a team does.

Absolutely, I'm the same. Love DRS. Doesn't matter if the umpires are poor or biased anymore. The best thing that ever happened to cricket imo.

I'm talking more about the demise of the umpires. Where have the personalities gone? Shep, Dicky Bird, Aleem Dar, Billy Bowden to name a few. DRS for all its benefits, seems to have made them all identically poor. I wonder if there are any stats to back this up? Has DRS made the standard of normal umpiring poorer since it's inception?

Got a feeling Jimmy is finding his groove again

I thought his record there was bad?
Fair enough if not, but can't see his 80mph rockets on non swinging surfaces terrorising anyone personally.

 

[Inside Forward]

Couple of play and misses in the last few balls.

Needs a @Raker cheese sarnie this

That doesn't make sense he's no slower than ever really

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Jimmy been poor this over

 

[Hetty]

I thought the rain was coming?

 

[jaraarrow]

These 2 looking solid

 

[Ghfd]

Warner walks straight down through the danger area of the pitch. Bowlers get warned. He does it nearly every ball but the umpires choose to ignore it

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

Flat pitch, floaty pace, no swing, little seam movement. If none of that changes this’ll be close

Any twitching yet

Not a lot happening

 

[mackembhoy]

I thought his record there was bad?
Fair enough if not, but can't see his 80mph rockets on non swinging surfaces terrorising anyone personally.

He averages 29 in India

26 in Asia

He plays a holding role and dries up the scoring rate. He was great in Pakistan last year.

 

[Hetty]

Aussies are going for it
