    Before play yesterday Stokes was practicing his bowling, think he might bowl a few over at some point if nothing else is working

    Maybe I'm just noticing it more, but why do we use so many sub fielders? Never seen our players go off so often

    Wasting overs here. Just ducked four short balls in that one alone. They'll duck them all day and run the clock down

    Get on with it and get through the overs like the absolute clappers 
    Agreed. No time for endless conferences about fielding positions, and field changes after every ball.
    Sadly no

    Wood not allowed to bowl by the umps due to light. Mo coming on instead

    Embarrassing that our over rate is 11.3 given the situation

    Desperately uninspiring attack today.

    They have a mindset of constant changes and tinkering, which when you have a brief interval between probable rain showers and bad light, surely is the wrong approach.

    Spin from both ends. Root coming on to bowl

    Root takes Labuschagne’s edge but that flew past the slip

    Don't mind Labuschagne going for these big shots, hopefully gets one wrong.
