He's averaged around 35 for the last two years. Been in really bad nick for a long while.

You'd think that Headingley would suit Hazlewood to a tee.

Burns has a really silly bobbing trigger movement he does before he faces. Looks more ridiculous than Smith's movements because it's more uncanny valley than Smith's absurdity.

i've watched aus whenever they're on tv during that time and i guess i'll have to coin the term 'sneaky bad' to counter 'sneaky good'. i didn't realise i was watching someone bowl so sneaky bad. i guess when starc takes a dump on the bed it's more noticeable.

Burns is growing on me

You must be mistaken as Burgey assures me he's the messiah

There was a push for pace a couple of years ago and he upped his average pace by 5kph but lost a bit of his accuracy and it made a massive difference to his effectiveness.

Jason Roy - good OD bat. Not a test batsman's left testicle.

 

[trundler]

So are we officially over Roy or what

 

[Flem274*]

[GIMH]

[King Pietersen]

FFS. What a ****ing dumb shot. Roy needs to go.

 

[Neptune]

Roy FFS. He’s got to go now.

 

[Starfighter]

At least he's showing improvement. Might reach double figures given enough time.

Come on, he's no Pat Cummins.

 

[Gnske]

The absolute state of English opening batsmen in this decade.
