Idiot, bloody knew it, zampa is rubbish, how do we keep struggling with him?

Sake... Butler hardly got started.

Ffs buttler, would hate to see his, roy and root's average in this series, woeful.

 

[Blue Shoes]

Just as bad as the England review the other week

ffs, what do they have against sam curran? poor decision to drop him for wood given how poor the batting has been so far. Not that wood should have been dropped in the first place mind. The bowlers won that game single handedly, none of them should have been dropped.

Would have liked to have seen banton given a go instead of roy for this one game too.

Curran's batting is weirdly overrated. He averages less than 20 in one day cricket, he's very much a tail ender who can biff a few sixes if they're in the slot, not an all rounder.

He's one of those weird ones who looks better and scores quicker in tests, but he's scored runs when it matters, just wish he would translate that to one dayers.

I just mean generally really. He might develop into an all rounder at some point, but he's just a tailender with a good eye for now. He had an explosive start in tests but he's only gone past 40 once in his last 20 innings, and had 4 ducks. He doesn't average 30 in any form of cricket, despite batting in a position where you'd expect plenty of red inkers. People talk about him strengthening the batting but there's no evidence that he does really.

Ticking along nicely here.
Anything over 260 will have Aussies under pressure today.

Billings! Shot

Billings! Shot

If this was a test match Starc would knock his head off next ball for that !

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Zampa looks like a mish mash of several different decades

Shaped up into a nice partnership here, Billings doing well.

 

[Walken]

Billings starting to look like a peoper top 6 order batsman here.

It's nicely poised, Nas talking about needing 300+ but I'd fancy us with 270 here, the more runs the better obviously

Think he tried to and billings tried smashing him out of the park again

Nice one Johnny.
