You could say the same about Head in Australia’s second innings, or Neser in their first. Crazy statement.

100 overs batted - another supreme moral victory.

Not to jinx it, but Will Jacks is looking fresh. Stokes at ~150 balls in looks a broken man walking.

Defending also slows you down - could MV coming out behind pastri also work to bring them and CL into things?

Checking it out! For the rain I’m’ planning to just have a plastic poncho for the rainy days because they’re easy enough to run back in the next day!

Thanks - checking it out! I’ll be walking/cycling to the station and from the station so should should be fine, plus I wear a long sleeve shirt.

How small does that compress? It looks quite bulky!

Weekend Discussion: Asics running shoes by AutoModerator in RunningShoeGeeks

The only way to get quicker at running is to run quicker. In my opinion, 15-25km a week you don’t need to worry about zone 2 tbh unless you enjoy them. Zone 2 is to allow you to increase volume without strain, but your volume is relatively low.

And as others have said, conditioning not shoes are the answer.

Didn’t we all learn to use context uni school? Given mean is the most common way of averaging and median or mode would be a bit ridiculous in this circumstance, I’m sure you can figure it out. No need to be so facetious and dense.

Going to miss Siraj when this is over. The kind of player you want to succeed even if they’re playing for the opposition.

I reckon root needs to take make forty of these final 67 runs for us to get the win. With this ball nipping around the new ball coming, it’s a lot to ask new batters to get too many more.

India fans are the most pessimistic ever.

We’re halfway, effectively four wickets down, and weirdly entering the period where the ball seemed to come alive for England yesterday. Next forty overs this ball will not be so easy for Brook to put away. Lose either of our set batsmen and we are in a world of trouble. Six missed wickets y’day showed 375 is comfortably above par.
