theunderstudy Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Daft thing is Australia we're always going to kneejerk by filling the boundary to stop the flow of runs. If Wood and Stokes had been smart they'd have reined this in so they could pilfer two a ball whilst they were out. Naive again but what should I expect from this side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewiek2 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Once again players swinging at every ball. Bloody hell Broad for once no gung ho swinging it around and just play the simple tap and singles to get Stokes on strike. But no, slog it slog it slog it. Never mind Bazball, I just think they are brain dead. Too easy for the Aussies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idiots Yep, all from idiotic slog at every bloody ball. It's borderline insanity. Not one of those, espeicially tailenders, thought the best bet was to just play easy balls. Broad the idiot back to type walloping every chance he got is particularly pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because there is no strategy except swing at every delivery, even if it's a ball that should be left. It's not Bazball, it's insaneball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, at this point with the tailenders, this is the way to go, it's when we've still got decent batters in that it's so infuriating. Stokes knee is ****, he can't do singles at the moment. It's showing that it's still a good deck to bat on if they play well. Edited July 7, 2023 by Rodders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Trail by 26, not as bad as it could have been. Other batters have got to try not to be Ben stokes, and be themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
