I'm not a fan of checking for one method of being out and then checking for another afterwards. If the claim is for caught, then check for a catch but don't then check for something else.

A bit contrary to the "we've got the system, and we're going to use it", but it just feels wrong to me.

The problem with #Baz Ball is what happens when your 55 for 4 and all out for 165?
What's the Plan B?

Bazball is going for 450 runs in the final innings to win the match

jeez I like it!

Not even in the top ten.

Ball is doing a bit and that South African batting looks weak.

Perfect conditions for Anderson & Broad, bowl they out for under 200 and England are well in this

You were assuming their openers would be batting like England I assume.

That's one of the worst England scorecards I've ever seen.

Long tail too !

These next 4 wickets need to come before they reach 90 lead

That went well. Fucking hell, they were 216-6 when I went off to make tea. Couldn’t believe it when I saw the score at stumps FFS!

Not worried at all. There was another big crowd at The Hundred last night.
