Poor start. Pitch it up man.

Carse has bowled some absolute drivel these last two games. Saj Mahmood levels of crap.

 

[Mel Evo]

Wasted the new ball from one end here. Garbage.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Awful shot

 

[Mel Evo]

Incredible position to be in after those first 8 overs.

Piss poor dropped catch by Brook already looking costly

 

[Mel Evo]

Seems OK on paper / against the alternative. But some of that bowling was lamentable. Archer quality, Stokes in a different way… then a big gap. We can chase at least, and the game has moved on. Hard to imagine the Aussies getting out so softly second time around if we keep serving up pies like that. Game on at least.

I mean it's annoying... but it's not down to the batsman to give themselves out.

The fault lies with the on field umpire, they should be giving that out. Given the shot and that the umpire should or would have heard a noise then the only reasonable conclusion to draw is that he has hit it.
