sharkyvilla Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 2 hours ago, PaulC said: It’s strange to me that a player with nearly 200 test wickets and 5 test hundreds who was man of the series last time these two test nations met had his central contract stopped, which we now know is the real reason he didn’t put himself up for selection in South Africa. They knew leach had a serious illness while out in New Zealand as well. Really bad management. Mo's batting and bowling is currently worse than Leach's. Probably jumped before he was pushed in all honesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Labuschagne is an absolute find for the Aussies. Only got a chance in the Ashes due to the Smith concussion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Jimmy Anderson is like Benjamin Button. Getting better and more effective as he gets older! Stat on the BBC live feed Quote And it meant yet another five-fer for the imperious Anderson, who now averages 23.9 since his 30th birthday and 20.67 since his 35th. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stat on the BBC live feed They’ve just put a stat up about when Anderson took his first 5 wicket haul, half the team were under 6! Truly is one of the greats of the game, and just keeps going.

Rodders Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Stokes is just so destructively good. I mean heck knows why SA didn't take the new ball straight away, but their loss. Nearly there Dom, if Ben doesn't beat you first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 this has been a demolishing. We started the day on 218. Already at 350 with still 20 minutes to go before lunch. Spectacular stuff. Wonder at what point we declare. At lunch or until we get an arbitrary figure? Suspect we'll go for about 20 minutes after lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
