You just feel he is going to get out very soon every time he bats

Always going to nick one of them at some point. Robinson bowling a really good line at the moment.

Rained last night and 70% humidity. I reckon we will struggle here.

Harris caught at slip must have been paying about $1.01
Nothing ball from a trundler

Tough going at the moment but I reckon Smith will get a hundred here

He just isn't very good.

A double left handed opening combo in these conditions is an early wicket waiting to happen, the bowler can continue to work on the same area without adjustment, you need two outstanding openers if they have the same handedness.

There are of course exceptions, Hayden/Langer, Greenidge/Haynes.

I dont mind Harris, his selection didnt really worry me as there were no other openers banging the door down (Khawaja making runs at #4). However this stat is damning from Ric Findley.

He's arguably got three innings (maybe only one if we cash in here) to save his test career

The 3 balls prior to it were all no balls from Stokes. Why aren’t these idiots checking every ball?

I was thinking how did the umpire miss the overstep then they just showed that Stokes has basically overstepped the mark every ball

How bad is the $%^&*ing umpire!

England been very unlucky this morning, doing a lot right. Simply not enough 1st innings runs.

I would've gone Usman on that stat alone, I wonder where he ranks?

Hunt was in form, if no one is banging down the door you at least look to see who has made their way to the doorstep.

Because they're more focused on getting their call right so they don't look like a dill with a review, they know it doesn't matter if they over-step and they miss it, it will get seem to regardless.

But Stokes has bowled about 6 already yet none have been picked up.
Wait until someone loses a test by a couple of runs
