![]() Labuschagne pushes awkwardly at his first ball from Moeen and is hit on the pad, though he’s well outside the line. Anyway, let’s save the postmortems until it’s 3-0 rather than 0-0.ġ9th over: Australia 70-1 (Khawaja 23, Labuschagne 8) Khawaja turns Moeen off the pads for a single he’s now scored 164 from 376 balls in this match. And we can’t ignore that a number of these funky fields have worked. I take your point, and I do think there are times when he has got a bit carried away, but I don’t see him as an egotist at all. For the good of England, or for his own ego?” ![]() He has already cost England probably up to 50 runs if not more, now, to use an Irish expression, he is acting the maggot with his field placements. “May I disagree and say it’s all about Stokes drawing attention to himself, it’s not a field designed for anything other than for people to say ‘Look how clever that Stokes captain is’. “Rob, you say the field for Labuschagne’s first ball was pure funk,” says Andrew Hurley. The poor guy has had a difficult match: scores of 18 and 19 and match figures of 39-5-170-2. Moeen is really struggling with his finger, and he leaves the field at the end of the over. But Moeen isn’t: a horrible long hop is pulled almost apologetically for four by Labuschagne. Plus let’s not forget that the Aussies are a champion team and are allowed to play good cricket too…”Īnd they haven’t even lost! I can understand the criticism, and I didn’t like the declaration at all, but I still think he’s touched by genius as a captain.Ģ1st over: Australia 77-1 (Khawaja 25, Labuschagne 13) Moeen starts with a low full toss that Labuschagne whacks straight into Pope at short leg. I’d much rather a captain and team who don’t look scared to win, even if that means they lose sometimes. “We did tried and tested and it got us extreme mediocrity. “Amazing to see how quickly people are jumping on Stokes - he may not have got the calls right this match, but how many times were people moaning and groaning about his predecessors’ rote captaincy, timid declarations and passivity in the field,” says Will Vignoles. Anderson even bowls a no-ball, which hardly ever happens. His first over is harmless, and he’s not happy with the footholes. ![]() All will be forgiven anyway he has nearly 700 credits in the bank. He bowled a shoddy first spell by his standards (5-0-23-0), but all will be forgiven if I can pinch a wicket or two here.
