bobzy Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 I think 70 is too big a stretch without a batter, sadly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"A statement has come through from the Australia team: "Australian management has requested the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) investigate several incidents involving spectators in the members area during lunch on day five of the Lord's Test. It is alleged players and staff from the Australian team were verbally abused, with some being physically contacted, as they made their way to lunch through the members area." Sounds like ungentlemanly conduct. Not surprised they are upset. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentVillan Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Seemed a bit brainless from Robinson, no surprise there, but hope the next two actually try to win the Test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really - Australia have set their field back, lower orders' best chance is hitting loose balls for runs. They'll be facing bouncer after bouncer. You can't just sit through it getting dot balls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan_of_oz Posted July 2, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 2, 2023 (edited) Not sure why Robinson was going the slog when he was better suited to trying to support Broad.... Edited July 2, 2023 by Villan_of_oz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Oh well we got closer than I ever thought we would. Need a bit of a shake up for the next test. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't the time for the supporting role, we need runs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Broad has surely shown the support batsmen how to play this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
