So Bumrush has bowled 10 overs. 5 have been maidens. He’s conceded 41 runs. That means in the overs he concedes a run, he’s going at over 8 an over

India is probably going to be tempted to open with the offie against Konstas. Now that would be boring cricket.

Tboon accurately describe what you believe exciting cricket is?

No ramps, no spin opening the bowling. What else is banned?

Re Kohli v Konstas.

Be honest. If India had a 19 year old tonking our pace attack around you'd try to get under his skin and make him do something stupid. Kohli did what Warner would have done.

1. Fast bowling being on top with wickets falling (essentially what we have had so far this series).

2. Batting a challenge but 1 maybe 2 batsmen grafting out a big backs to the wall innings. That tour of England when Smith scored all our runs was perfect.

3. Off spin opening the bowling if horrific.

I only hate ramp shots because they are ugly as f**k and it is cheating to change the grip.

Seeing Kostas bitch about 3 being behind the wicket is what prompted me to suggest that rule be changed. If the batsman can change his grip when the bowler is hitting the crease then the field should be able to sneakily change as well.

I'd actually be okay with the rule being that the fielders behind the wicket can essentially change positions while the bowler is running in.

Nah, Dont think we do that

Mercifully sledge the bloke, get in his face, bounce him etc....but not intentionally do what Kholi did

Remember first tour Kholi was captain here., and we sledged one of their youngsters. Kholi came out in the media had a cry, said a young guy shouldnt be sledged like that...
