How the **** are they letting these guys get these runs? Bowl them out under 300 for once FFS.

just ****, beta bowling. Never even tried to get Nathan Lyon out properly. Just jumped straight to lEtS bOwL sHoRt gEt hIm cAuGhT iN dEeP.

That strategy did not even work against absolute rabbits like Natarajan. Its fine to bowl a bouncer an over to have them on the backfoot but nick them off, FFS.

Fun cameo.

You'd think 300 would be plenty on this wicket but the ball hasn't done a hell lot so who knows.

 

[ParwazHaiJunoon]

Is there a more beta cricket tactic than bowling short trying to get catches in the deep?

Like a spinner deliberately bowling full tosses to get catches at deep midwicket

Yes. Bowling outside off-stump deliberately (McGrath delivery) in hope Batter nicks one.

Only alpha tactic is bowling swinging yorkers.

Care to tell us more about how little you know about the game?

@OverratedSanity new thread is needed

yeah swinging yorkers is pretty alpha

bowling short can be alpha too if you're beating batsmen for pace and getting catches spooned up anywhere from short leg to gully (eg. Mitch Johnson), but not if the best you're gonna get is catches in the deep (eg. Wagner)

 

[OverratedSanity]

There's a pretty clear gap between bat and ball there isnt there? Noise had to be something else.

 

[morgieb]

@OverratedSanity klaxon

 

[Spikey]

Lol

 

[Gnske]

The QUICK single takes another victim

Might've been bat hitting thigh pad?

And it didn't matter anyway haha

 

[OverratedSanity]

Atleast they disrupted Cummins' rhythm. Worth it.

 

[Alex0paul]

Idiots

 

[Alex0paul]

Excited to see a gritty 3 off 30 for Malan

 

[morgieb]

I feel like the run was probably there, but it was absolutely awful running between the wickets.

 

[Gnske]

Zak Crawley gets a tick from Warne for hitting a single half century and Wood gets one for bowling dross and unthreatening spells.

 

[morgieb]

Why the **** did we play Starc again? He's gonna have the knives out hard from here the way he's going.

 

[Gnske]

Thank god Warne or Hussey have never been selectors.
