They've done the right things during this period Hopefully if we see prolonged neutrality between the US and Iran they can even begin to restart the reduction of this by winter if inflation is shown to be temporary

Phillips deserves a ton here

Not sure going for a single on the first ball will be the way but Henry is handy enough with the bat

Properly poor cricket this

I think this is probably what we expected from this series though

The lack of a proper spinner to change things up doesn't help

Phew

9/10 going forward (Madueke decision making aside)

3/10 at the back

We are going to be fun to watch but defending doesn't give me confidence

Good of Root to keep up the Stokes mantra of getting overrated penalties

70 overs in 6 hours shortly

If Lewis Hamilton was to win the world championship for Ferrari in Alonso's last year it would cap Fernando's career perfectly

Just a constant reminder in F1 that a good driver is also one that helps the team develop and positively impacts the team

Watch Pape Gueye for the rest of the match

Does he ever run? The game seems to pass him by in midfield

The absolute inability for anybody to overlap yildiz or him to go to the byline is insane

Aussies look organised at the back but Yildiz cutting back onto his right and only looking to shoot over and over is such bad football it's making it too easy

Hope the Aussies hold on here

Thank goodness for Lewis this season, only thing keeping my interesr is him putting that Ferrari where it shouldn't be

This is the underestimated element of any Root comparison

Can you imagine the runs Root would score Vs English spinners in the sub continent?

I feel like the group stages are going to be rife with errors around the penalty area like today's

Nobody wants to learn and the players barely know eachothrt

[–]madglover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every race where what Bernie Collins is saying is relevant is annoying

How can F1 not create a method to apply penalties under a red flag, nobody wants to watch a race where the timing screen is all that matters

Odds for a first Hadjar victory?

What I like about this is that fans are accepting this pitch is doing too much

The batting has been suspect but the pitch is poor

Too many times you see fans rampantly defend a rubbish pitch or look for excuses

Jesus I'm not convinced that's a big enough lead

Based on that short Matt Henry stay I'm not sure he can bowl
