*looks at Yuvraj and Dhoni's scores*

Not sure if it's 2007 or 2017.
man between this and Nair's 300/the last test, Australia's gonna have to do something real special to suffer anything as embarrassing.

So I'm thinking Ravi Jadeja takes all 10 in an innings

If England get a decent start and there is dew about, 350 might not be enough. One of the few sides going around who can chase >350 on their day.

So the fact it hit the cable after the ball was above waist height, it's still not a no-ball?
Sounds a bit weird to me. Was it clearly above the waist?

Another thing: hitting the stumps during a free hit..... Seems fair to make that a dot ball, regardless where the ball goes after impact.

It was marginal tbf, I thought it looked slightly above waist height.

That hitting the stumps is weird too on the free hit.

Happened in a big bash game the other day and I still think it should be a dead ball if you get out on a free hit

I think the bowlers being **** is easier to forgive than the fielding, which has been awful across all formats since Bayliss took over.
English fielding hasn't been especially good for years now. Even in the Flower peak years, England weren't an amazing catching and ground fielding side.

Lol. Stokes is angry at the best of times, let alone a ball boy accidentally sconing him in the face.

Maybe I've just got a rose tinted view of that era but I definitely feel like the catching was better, at least until everything went to **** at the end.

What bothers me the most is the ridiculous number of throws at the stumps, concede so many needless overthrows.
