**** Starc is frustrating, unplayable at his best, but all over the shop when he's not.

Wasted the new ball really. Barely forced the batters to play the ball. I was happy that he kept bowling as long as he did.

Cummins got two wickets with yorkers and hasn’t bowled one since.

The first wasn't a yorker, but 2 balls with such extravagant swing and then didn't really swing 1 after. Maybe bowling to the lefties screwed his momentum up.

Farkkkk England are good at playing with your emotions. 12 balls or 1 wicket to end this game.

Wow those 2 deliveries from Cummins were outstanding. Extravagant late swing coming in to the right handers for the wickets of Buttler and Wood were practically unplayable.

It's up to old Jimmy boy.

Give Boland the final over.

I reckon this will be a draw. T20 tactics in action.

It was always gonna be a draw after that curse machine Nobet Pays laid the draw. Geez.

 

[mrposhman]

OMG that was like watching England in a penalty shootout those last couple of overs.

How much did Leysyboy win?

Huh ? He laid the draw ie bet that it wouldn’t be a draw.

His betting cursability knows no bounds.

Questions to be asked of Cummins and Langer re the late declaration.

Great comparison. That in swinging yorker was waqar to a tea.

After 3-0, why bet on the smallest of odds for a win?

Hindsight helps of course but it wasn't that late. If you listen to Warne they should have declared when they were 250 in front.

The 7 overs lost due to the rain doesn't help either.

Lyons last 2 overs were rubbish

He’s an idiot. Between saying Smith shouldn’t bowl (gets Leach) and the great mediocre one - Marsh - was a much better option than Khawaja and then adding his usual over talkative self, he was unbearable this test. Constantly talks over the top of everyone and about anything.

Way too full

Should have declared as soon as Khawaja got his hundred. A more ruthless and attacking captain would have done so even earlier.

Way too full

I don't think he was given long enough to get his length right. I was expecting at least 5 overs of Lyon, especially as it was mainly lefties at the crease.
