Cricket

It’s so obvious.

Suffocate new batsmen. Make them wonder where the first run will come from.

Staggering we are no longer pushing fields in new batsmen’s faces

In our favour tonight is we start with a 30-over old ball. 50 more til they get a new rock, and if we last that long we won't have many to make, if any at all.

If Head bats for two hours we win.

No play until at least 1.10 local time, which is 10.10pm in the real world. They can play as long as the light lasts and it's early in the summer so could still get 70 overs in potentially. Probs be decided before then anyway. If it dries up.
 
Yeah the draw hasn't shortened much as yet. Still $8.40

Should still get a result, unless gets delayed by another hour than currently forecast.

Just means another late night and tough day working tomorrow...Arrgghh

Nasser Hussein talking about the physical toll on England already - Bairstow hasn't kept much for ages and it shows late in the day, Ali's soft retirement fingers getting roughed up by the Dukes ball, etc. If we're to win the series it will be a typical triumph of Aussie grit grinding down foreign flair. It was always thus. Bazball is showpony stuff to the Aussie cricketer. We're Blundstones, not Jordans.

Agree that their stocks are thin, so will they be able to put a winning side on the park for 5 tests? The previous keeper is a better one than Bairstow but an inferior batsman, although B might find form gradually after coming back from a nasty injury. But really surprising that Leach is so hard to replace.

Like your final two comments, but don't think they have as much flair as us in terms of the depth of talent in both batting and bowling. Andersen and Broad proving to have amazing longevity disguises gaps too. Root probably their only player that you could argue qualifies as a definite World 12 nominee.
