Best first two deliveries of a one day innings I've ever seen, I think. Perfect location, quick and a little bit of movement. 11/10

what the actual

misread as "kilt", now picturing some kind of Scottish themed Bollywood dance number on the outfield.

There are deffo a few extra positions they could look into, and maybe they could add a few extra spots to fine tune some existing positions. It's "put a fielder in this particular spot and bowl on leg stump and the AI batsman will pop a catch straight to them every few overs" sort of effects...

This has come up a few times over the years. Fixed fielding positions generate a finite set of stuff to test and manage. With the ability to whack fielders anywhere you've got a virtually infinite range of combinations, and a bit of a problem in terms of testing to try and prevent combos of...

MCC has the urn but will never give it up and are pitting both sides against each other in a forever war played out for public entertainment and financial gain. It's quite sinister when you think about it.

To be fair Ponting is probably still ringing the ICC chairman on the regular to try and get the Gary Pratt run out rescinded.

Surely the ump who chose the replacement ball gets a gong?

The real magic of BazBall is making a series draw feel like a win despite having actual chances to win the series which they fluffed ... because of BazBall.

They're still favourites until it they knock a few more off but, say, 30 to win with still 8 down and it'll be starting to look dicey. 1690823504 welp ...

That's a nicely executed advance drive from Carey. Solid batting.

Bairstow makes brilliant WK catch?! Marsh walks?!

Woakes!

While technically India have never won the Ashes they did probably win a spirit of the Ashes moral victory in 1990 when Kapil Dev brutally KapilBalled England's oldest ever looking player Eddie Hemmings.

Complete the catch and if necessary regain your balance while maintaining full control of the ball and without the ball touching the floor. You can argue Stokes has transitioned from catch to celebration when he loses control or something like that, but it gets a bit nebulous and the laws say...

I took a catch in the deep in a club game and accidentally let go on the backswing of my celebratory toss up, chucked the ball miles away behind me instead of stright up. I styled it out by carrying on running towards the wickets and high fiving people.

The rain is a huge moral victory for England. Aussies in total dissarray now, scoring hugely restricted by skillful work by the groundstaff.

They could knock the runs off with 3 or 4 down, the way things are going. Smith / Marnus / Head still to come. Bit of magic from somewhere required. Mark Wood with a bit of reverse swing? Broad with another perfectly executed bail switch? Short leg with the jelly beans in the batsman's eyeline?

His pull shot is pretty strong at below express pace. It's got to get up into the 90s to trouble him. Or at least, so far. As his eyes deteriorate the speed required ought to come down. Eventually KP started to get intro trouble with his front foot pull, iirc.

I wonder if Anderson might have had enough by now if Troy Cooley's spell as England's swing bowling guru hadn't involved banishing England's all time most gifted swing bowler to the nets to learn how not to swing the ball by remodelling his action while the rest of the squad pioneered Murray...
