Greatest English batman ever for me, will be official soon enough too. Complete package.Greater batsman than KP?
one team doing anything to entertain and make a game of it, the other, setting fields like this for the first ball of the ashes-A declaration before 400 seems crazy but this sort of thing has been the making of England the last couple of years. Big call
That’s a classic ‘retreat’ field on Brian Lara cricket.one team doing anything to entertain and make a game of it, the other, setting fields like this for the first ball of the ashes-
think i heard cummins discussing having a backstop on the stump mic.That’s a classic ‘retreat’ field on Brian Lara cricket.
Can you tell I dug my PS1 out the loft the other day.
aye. thought the first hour was pretty telling. aussies from years gone by would have come out and had a right go at us and might have rolled us over and made us doubt ourselves. we should have got at least another 100 on that deck but i think we’ll have taken a lot of positives from that first innings.Even if it turns out to be a mistake I love this call, sends a big message to the Aussies that we ain't here to roll over for them.
Probably not, but the hard ball can fly around and Root would have loved that. I'm probably wrong, but we could have left 20-30 runs on the table here. If we don't get a wicket before the close its for nothing.Don’t forget new ball was due. Unlikely Robinson/Anderson would have offered much.
Lets see how this goes before passing judgement. In fact feck it, I love this call.
Still the best form of cricket.Whether it backfires or not, that crowd have got more than their money's worth for the first day of a test match. Best part of 400 runs, 8 wickets, and a declaration.
That is going to save test cricket, ultimately.
we’ll be batting again come the end of the day.I think declaring here was mental... but what do I know.
How many wickets can we even get in an hour?!
All ten in 10 balls?I think declaring here was mental... but what do I know.
