Oh harry why? Fuck sake. Obviously got bored

Great knock that but us winning it has gone down to 50/50 now! Could have milked it a lot more till at least 40 more to win!

It was absolutely fucking brain dead

 

[jimharri]

Shit.

 

[waspish]

Bethell can bat but this is different than normal

 

[Djibrilshairdo]

can’t knock the way he’s played, but that was a bit daft. Indian bowlers looked shagged out, this will give them a bit more oomph.

 

[Craig]

Why the fuck has he done that?

Easy to say that but what about all his other shots!

 

[waspish]

It was absolutely fucking brain dead

He saw an opportunity to get easy runs because the players looked knackered! Like I said though once he got to a ton don’t change how you play! He did he should learn from that!

 

[jimharri]

Why do it? 70 runs needed, off well over 100 overs. 1 run an over would do it, comfortably. One defensive push per over.

 

[waspish]

See what Bethell made of here he can stay with root take us to a win or bottle it

Cummins has turned into right workhorse but he's dropped about 10mph from when he was younger. Maybe he went away and made some adjustments to increase his longevity. They have been lucky over the last 5 years keeping the 3 fit. Few of their back ups have had injury nightmares in the same period. Jhye Richardson is a cracking bowler who just can't seem to catch a break with his fitness.

As I said in recent years the 3 of them have been available to play. Whether Cummins has slowed his pace, or not, he is still always available to play, and pretty fucking good. Which was my point

He just couldn't resist, could he? He'll always be subject to that, I believe. Now just everybody hang around — don't worry about scoring — and let Joe guide us home.

It's over, brilliant run chase again from England.

As for 100 overs, there is lots of rain forecast for London tomorrow.

They’d given up. Totally given up. Absolutely genius innings but if we don’t win, he’s more to blame than anyone for that

 

[trueblue1972]

Panic not, we have plenty of batting left to get this over the line

 

[Nightmare Walking]

Easy to say that but what about all his other shots!

All the other shots were not brain dead.
He had just got 2 glorious 4's. There was no reason to come charging down the wicket and and trying to smash it out of the ground. There is 15 minutes till tea, play sensibly.
If we lose this now, people will remember his braindead shot more than any of his other shots.

Christ, I'd hate to work for you as you must be absolutely perfect...

 

[waspish]

What the fuck was that Bethell you lucky lucky man! Can’t you play for 1 runs or something our just stick around!

 

[Djibrilshairdo]

Root needs to milk the strike till tea

Deary me Bethel, you're playing yourself out of the Ashes party.
