Is that what you'd call a "statement" then, or what?




What?

Saved test cricket in this country

100% I just shake my head at all the moaning about it , as its been said many times bazball comes at a cost .... but look at the progress

They’ve probably left 50 runs out there so they need to get results tonight in order for this to be worthwhile.

Half an hour full tilt at the convicts and tomorrow and Sunday the weather is a lot cooler but more importantly overcast.

Very bold move but I would expect nothing less from Bazball

And rain!! Bloody typical that’s the day I’m going

Fuck me we're off our nuts aren't we. See the logic though will be a real tough few overs for the Aussie openers this.

My lads got a ticket for Lords Day 4 - told him he’s wasted his money!!

Saved test cricket in this country

Certainly revived it. Still a few naysayers on here mind. It's beauty is it simplicity no half measures .... no reigning it in.

Warner & Khawaja look fucking terrified

 

[Postman Pep]

Warner is twitching here ...

So Bazball is declaring when you could have scored another 150 on a road is it? ;)

I was thinking it's been done as much for psychological reasons as for tactical stuff.

I think advance ticket sales for later days will be more difficult to push if this is the new style - maybe they just want tests reduced to 4 days!

Anderson not having a crack is a bigger shock than the declaration

 

[waspish]

Just think Root could of hung around with Robinson Anderson and got up to 500 [emoji2]

 

[kippaxwarrior]

Khawaja has absoslutley zero footwork

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

It's certainly a different way of thinking about cricket, this. Declaring, when England would normally have hung on to get a few more. If we snaffle a wicket this evening it'll be vindicated. On the other hand, if they knock up fifty…

I don’t like cricket………hell no………I love it, can’t wait to retire next year and go full on barmy army ……City ‘n ‘ England all round the world sounds good to me

 

[balotellishaircut]

I’m all for this declaration, we have to bowl em out twice and that won’t be easy on this surface, although the weather could change.

Not good for your health….

 

[Protein Junkie]

Sorry I’m a FOC. That declaration is either front foot genius or madness. Think I will wait until the end of the Test for my verdict :-)

I wish Moeen’s batting (24) and bowling (65) averages v Australia were reversed
