Ben Stokes is. What a player. Probably the greatest All Rounder ever.

53 wickets at 38.07, Glenn Turner never stood a chance!
They obviously couldn't find any tomatoes in this game, but should've look harder. KOK didn't even get a bowl and Turner made two hundreds.
Skull might be a bit too old school to realise there are ways for people to check how accurate his yarns are bless him.
lol, he may not have even dismissed him at all in test cricket

Skull got him in the test prior to the one Turner got his double. That wicket was after the Oz quicks were getting treatment from Turner.
Cue the next test and Turner is having his way and the Oz captain wouldn’t even bring Skull on to test Turner. That was Skull’s point and in the context of the analytics discussion. He was actually having a go at the Aussie captain…

The pitch hasn't played like a minefield though. Most England wickets were from loose shots and prods rather than balls swinging or jagging back off the seam.
I'm not saying we'll put on 500 but I think par is probably 250 or 300.
@barbarian will be interesting how the Oz middle order goes. I think if Warner gets off to a good start and the pressure is somewhat off them, at least one or two of them could flourish with the bounce of this wicket. If Oz are 3/18, I see it going not too dissimilar to England.

I don’t. It’s a superior batting line up vs and inferior bowling line up

Yep. This current England side has little depth in the batting and a mixture of ageing and not quite there bowling. Aus have a great attack and enough in the batting.
Pray for rain. For a loooong time.

@Catogrande Oz just have far more in the way of class players, it’s that simple.

@act-crusader The combo of Head, Green and Carey makes me nervous. Would much rather have Khawaja in there.

What’s the story there ? There’s a forgotten name but someone still good enough you’d think

thanks for additonal context, I certainly didnt know all the history, quite funny given the outrage yesterday from some,
-
good lines but 10-12km too slow. And that's a lot.

Robinson to Harris, OUT
Robinson makes the breakthrough, Harris gobbled up in the cordon! Excellent length again, starting on the stumps and then seaming just a fraction - enough to draw a nibble from Harris, thick outside edge and Malan snares a good low catch at third slipMarcus Harris c Malan b Robinson 3 (17b 0x4 0x6) SR: 17.64

Someone mentioned this Aussie team is hard to hate now, but while Smith and Labuschagne are in the team I have no problems hating them. Labuschagne has only been in a few minutes and he is annoying the crap out of me already. He is very pucnhable.
-
Nice first over from Robinson but speed wise he's bowling in the 120s compared to the Aussies bowling in the 140s.
