Warner would be better off trying to playing some horizontal shots - he looks at sea outside off.

😛ray: his goal is to get above 10

very Edgy at Edgbaston

I agree. Needs to dominate - it’s all he knows

 

[happy_tiger]

More edges than a broken pisspot as Freddie Trueman once coined

 

[TheDaBoss]

One is not impressed....harris out

 

[Yossarian]

I think we’ll be lucky to make 100. Haven’t scored a run in front of square. Off they come.

I wouldn’t feel confident. He looks lucky to have zero right now.

Possibly. I think we’re lucky to have 12. One leg glance, four byes and an edge through slips plus a stack of play and misses. Khawaja at 3 will be huge. He’s looked reasonable for the first two tests.

rain rain go away

The older you get the more negative you seem but that’s because you’ve got more to compare with. Really sad to see our top six unable to cope with testing conditions. What we would give for a Boon or a Wood or a Border right now. Greg Chappell’s rule was first 20 are scored between mid off and mid on. Need that philosophy now.

To be fair they look like they’re playing straight they just can’t find the right line. Neither of them has middled anything attacking or defending.

Yes that’s fair. I suppose I’m talking more generally in that we just don’t seem to be able to tough it through a good spell or trying conditions. You know - soft hands, leave heaps, look for singles etc

Yeah fair comment. Some of them just need to guard their stumps and leave the rest. Warner the opposite though. He needs to crank one through the covers or point and get moving. His line reading looks shot.

100%. His whole career has been built on dominance. Personally, I reckon his time out and subsequent criticism has knocked the stuffings out of him

Well they survived the first session LOL!
Don’t think I’ll be staying up tonight though.

If it doesn’t rain and we’re still battling at stumps I’ll be impressed.

 

[Yossarian]

We’re cactus here. 2 for less than 25 and Warner the walking wicket still in.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

In trouble early and Smith not there to save them. Not looking good.
