Weak as fuck captaincy from Root at the toss. Absolutely shit his pants. Aussies must be laughing their cocks off at him.

He's been very brave, batting first is the easy option.

Root now needs his bowlers to skittle the Aussies for sub 300. He's got more confidence in them than I have.
 
How many overs left?

It was good bowling, it was a plan that failed only because of the fielders inability to take a relatively regulation catch. The type of which you need to hang on to at this level, to compete.
13 off the over is what I was making g reference to sorry.
 
It happens. I know it's professional sport but it's a skier in front of 50,000 people.

Pretty routine and you've got to take them when you're under the cosh. Second basic error I've seen in 2 hours. Who was the clown who did the Robin Ruiter when failing to touch a ball with his hands and his woeful long barrier. 4 free runs.

I agree it should have been taken mate I just think the language used to describe it is a bit OTT.

Blokes are human and a ball that hangs in the air is a far bigger test of character than one that flies at you and you go with on instinct.

Vince's was just lazy and far worse imo.

Has he fuck been brave :lol:, he's shit his pants because he's got no faith in his batsmen to score big runs in the first inning.
 
First time I’ve seen Overton. We love a medium paced trundler don’t we.

He’s been very stupid. Batting first is the only option.
