Might be alone in this, but I've always taken a dim view of bowlers celebrating wickets where the batsman has chopped on. It's almost always the result of a poor delivery. I suppose, though, if you serve up enough dross in a day and the batsman gets tired and plays on, you have technically induced it.

The celebrations of most wickets is pretty silly nowadays!

I think a fair number are induced when the ball moves just enough (or doesn't move as much as expected!), but plenty aren't.

Except we play every home Ashes series with one warm up match. Agree on the attack .... but those issues predate this regime so are fuck all to do with Bazball.

Nonsense

Again bollocks. Very little work running between the wickets?

They'll probably try but I fear the worst. But then again if we played more conservatively do you seriously think there would be a different outcome. Have you forgotten Silverwood ball already?

Possibly not but we certainly don’t want someone as good as Root throwing his wicket away if we’re 4/500 behind

Some of the celebrations these days are ridiculous. Chopping on to a long hop that is in danger of drifting beyond the return crease should not see an experienced bowler running to slip cordon with arms outstretched in glory.

We really could do with getting them out for 400 (or less). If we're chasing 250 to avoid the follow on, we could be in trouble.

Yep. We know that this Australian tail can wag a fair bit so we need to make sure we don't let the good work from late yesterday evening and the first half hour this morning go to waste
