Credit to MadBen for calling it out immediately and getting the Medical teams over ASAP.
Looked nasty from the reactions. |

We have a spin coach :-)
And I agree, there’s a lot more to it than most expect, especially the drift.
When you watch the Gatting ball back again, Warne’s drift was even more outrageous than the spin.
Almost as good as his regular reinventions of the same delivery with a new name !!! Master of the mind and ball tricks that man. Not too shoddy with the bat and on Comms either. Cricket misses characters like that. |

We are yet to have taken even close to 20 wickets in one test and won’t win until we do so, so it’s not just the batting that is the issue.
Share your frustration(s) with the application all round. I think we have a reasonable team with a small but strong nucleus of talented players but the decision making and execution under any form of limited pressure has been appalling.
When I heard over-prepared, I was a little surprised. I think it’s way more basic - we have simply over complicated pretty much everything in terms of the basics, which have been forgotten or thrown away - because it’s ok getting out just as long as you were being the best version of yourself at the time and doing what you think you should do.
Even Root joined in with the stupidity for the second innings.
As with most things in life, if you are the best at what you do in your role, just do your job and things will be fine. Try to be something else and shit will typically follow.
That’s why I need mess around with electrics….or DIY of any form. |

There was some discussion about this on C7 commentary during the England batting, where a voice of experience suggested that if you simply leave the balls you don’t need or want to play, then eventually the bowlers will have to change their plan and bowl more to your strengths and provide you with scoring opportunities because they had to adjust - not the batter.
I think it was Ponting that started the discussion and it seemed pretty sensible and appropriate coming from a guy with his test match knowledge, runs and time in the middle against some fairly decent bowlers over the years.
Maybe we could give the guy a job on the coaching staff one day and have Gary Pratt as his assistant, just t0 keep him honest :-) |
