Yurr.
This is our sneaky point of difference.
Spinners who could get decent at some point in the future.
In the meantime - 68 / 0
From 10.
:sad:
^ yep, India, three experienced spinners, two world class. Eng two novice spinners and one with some experience but none are world class
Agreed, though Leach is, well, someone worthy of respect.
I have to say. :D
His numbers look pretty decent here.
If nothing else this will be great experience for the youngsters in sub-continental conditions. If they keep producing turners from day one then they will be plenty of overs and high averages :)
13 off the over from 'impact bowler' Mark Wood. 172-3 :sad:
Wood's next over much more hostile.
Just 2 runs conceded.
If he keeps bowling like that it could all be OK.
And Hartley is going for a mere 5 per over, unlike yesterday's 7.
The cup of progress floweth over. :D
Down under Roach is having fun, into the Ozzie tail inside 5 overs :)
It seemed after the first test that they'd enjoy some success bowling in this series.
5-54
Head made it very clear he was unhappy with the strip in the last test.
I wonder how he feels about this one? :D
And on Australia Day to boot.
A convict chum was only opining this morning, and I quote: "They (WI) need to get 350 at the Gabba to keep it competitive".
:)
That's Karma for cutting Cook down, 100 years of bad luck
Hartley's ave below 5, he''l have over 160 runs to his name in this inning tho
So, they couldn't find room in this line up for Jimmy.
How poor must he have been in Abu Dhabi? :sad:
Surely he'll play in Test 2.
India 309 / 5 at tea.
Aussies 8/247 at drinks chasing 311
Oz declare 22 behind, statement that.
They wanna bowl under lights with a new ball instead of waste time for 5 or 10 runs.
Under lights there that was a great atmosphere.
Really enjoyed it.
West Indies building a nice partnership (55 off 60 balls) the lead is now 85 and they have plenty of time and wickets to spare early on day 3
Just as I type that we get a wicket…
2/65
Eng in, two overs of pace and then it's death by tweaker.
Crawley is having fun. Should be level by session 2.
Aussies breaking through.
3/86
5/150 a lead of 172…
With Stokes now out cheaply this is a lost cause.
Ashwin Jadeja and Bumrah just too good.
