Back in pavilion! Yeah, several false shots in a very brief innings.Sounded like a nick but does not matter.
Warner looks woefully out of touch.
Warner's overall record in England is pretty poor, which is why it doesn't make much sense holding him up as an example for Roy.Warner not liking Broad so far in this series. 3 in 3.
Think he is relying on ‘off the pitch’ movement too much.Can just feel Archer's going to send Bancroft back.
Edit -- not making him play enough..
In part because if they had done so today the match would probably have been decided purely on the toss as either team would have struggled to bat through the first session.Probably not a good enough end to the day from England’s point of view. Will have to take a few wickets quickly in the morning or it could get ugly. I don’t really understand why they can’t start at 10.30 if a whole days play has been washed out.
From the scorecard it appears they just forgot to score runs. They weren't even close to getting bowled out.In T20 news my Worcester boys just beat Durham after Durham were 80-1 needing just 38 runs off 48 balls
Yeah that’s true. The thought of our top order having to deal with thatIn part because if they had done so today the match would probably have been decided purely on the toss as either team would have struggled to bat through the first session.
They still had 6 wickets left at the start of the 18th over and 4 left after 20, as good as we bowled to restrict them you think they could have pushed harder. Not that I’m complaining.From the scorecard it appears they just forgot to score runs. They weren't even close to getting bowled out.
As a result of moving around I now support Worcs, Lancs and Sussex. It's getting very hard to keep up.
I’ve noticed that in cricket players often tend to be older than you think they are. With the exception of the absolute top top players that are around from their early years, if you look up the age of a player they always seem to be old. Might be one for the “Weird feelings of cricket” thread.I'm someone who loves test cricket and the English cricket summer, despite being Indian, is one of the best things every year in sport for me. Anderson is such a big part of it, though, and I was thinking it'll be down a notch after he's gone. Hopefully, Archer can fill some of the void. Was v surprised yesterday to find out that Woakes is 30.
Having thought about it, that sounds very true..I’ve noticed that in cricket players often tend to be older than you think they are.

Cricket players generally mature later than other sports. Especially bowlers. Shane Warne circa 2005-2007 was his absolute peak. I think he took something like 150+ wickets during that period which was the most productive of his career.I’ve noticed that in cricket players often tend to be older than you think they are.

Lancs and Sussex look the best sides int he competitionAs a result of moving around I now support Worcs, Lancs and Sussex. It's getting very hard to keep up.
Think its partly due to the average ages of peaking for cricketers. How many proper world class players have their been around the ages of 21-25? Smith and Kohli, for instance, have found most of their sucess over the last few years. Jimmy, too, hes became a phenomenal bowler after the ages of 26/27.I’ve noticed that in cricket players often tend to be older than you think they are.

It's amazing for Australia that they have all these top bowlers. They could arguably field the best and the second-best bowling attack in test cricket.Hazelwood is just class. He is the perfect bowler for these British conditions too.
Annoying isn't it. They've clearly been learning from Broad and Anderson.Are English bowlers routinely coached out of bowling at the fecking stumps.
Good call by the umpire in my book.You'd be sick as a dog if you got given out for that haha.
Looked out to me.You'd be sick as a dog if you got given out for that haha.
Agreed, first view it looked out.Good call by the umpire in my book.
This has got the feel of a collapse. Let's hope we can stay out there.Yes boooooys
