Nothing worse than tentative head

Nothing better…

There’s one thing watching the ball, it’s another to watch it closely. As in, seam position, watching it out of the hand, etc. Picking up little clues to give yourself the best chance of making the correct decision before playing a shot…

lol doing the Aussie thing and appealing a stumping when the batter hasn’t moved his foot.

If you going to play… whack the fkn thing. Don’t poke

The foot hasn’t moved. How can an umpire not make a decision on that.

Have you seen these two umpires?

Can def see them losing this. The end of their last innings was diabolical but they can better that.

Jeez…I would almost promote Starc up the order and instruct him to just whack a few…This is a difficult wicket.

The Indian appealing will be borderline intimidation of the umpire. Not that this will be policed in any way…

BCCI something something

If we end up 3 or 4/20 odd then we’re done. Panic will set in on a shaky batting lineup and long tail.

Fck me Head, go the tonk

No point poking around waiting to go out

LOL Ashwin is funny, he thinks every single ball is a wicket, even if it pitches off the pitch itself, he still thinks it is close.

Head is close to getting out, he has no idea.

Hes looking almost unplayable right now.

Brute of a ball and Trav does well to survive. This is as tough an examination of a batter as you’ll see.
