    “You can’t bowl it at his legs” they said.

    i don’t care how good you are, you’re gonna miss one playing cross batted when you’re stepping so far over eventually.

    For those who were using Currans pace or lack thereof as a reason not to pick him in the last few tests. Sky just did a piece on his paces. Stock ball 81-84mph. Quite a few quicker balls around 86 and the hat trick ball at 88. 
    Plenty quick enough for a swing bowler. 

    That's not even the reason he did well today. It's about the left arm angle and the ability to push one across the batsman and then have another one just come back into him slightly. 

    Caused all sorts of problems.

    It’s like jimmy vs left handers, but the other way around with right handers.

    Been out 20 times LBW in his Test career but at lot of those were before he changed his technique to cover all three stumps.

    There isn't a batsmen in the world that wouldn't like to average 65. And enough analysts of other teams and bowlers have tried to work him out without success - it's a risk/reward strategy but one that simply works for him.

    Can see us cocking this up & the Aussies leading on 1st innings.

    See my previous post. 
    More catches dropped in this game than I can remember.

    England Don't need to make a massive score this innings. 
    With a 1st innings lead of 69 I reckon if we make about 220 that should be enough.

    Would still want one though. Make it 400+ lead so we can’t lose and they’ll crumble.

    That catch by Burns was brilliant.

    And he's been trying to repay the favour since.

    Burns is proving to be a very brave batsman .. England's find of the series, along with Archer of course

    But another 8 overs short.......and that is allowing for 2 lots of 2 overs being lost for chance of innings. A total of just 78 overs bowled.

    It's not been the best quality series apart from a few bowlers and Steve Smith, but it's been very entertaining, nice fluctuations etc.

    A really good day's play. Archer and Curran were excellent today, making Curran's absence from the 1st 4 Tests even more baffling. 

    The weather at this time of year is tricky though. Bright sunshine today, but as the sun started going down it made it really hard to see anything from the Peter May stand, and by the end it must have been awful for the players with half the ground in shadow and half in dazzling light. Not sure we could have gone past 6:30 even if we were allowed to

    A sign of the times that there were longer queues for the gin and aperol spritz stalls than for some of the beer ones!
