Great minds, we both posted the same thread at the same time. Mods please merge

The theory of wanting to turn it away is always interesting to me. Particularly in test cricket, if it is turning big, I've always thought the ball turning in at the stumps is surely a bigger danger - particularly in Asia for LBWs. I think it ultimately comes down to how good of a bowler they think Bracewell is, because Phillips should be a lock (at 6 ffs) because of his batting.

Yeah will be interesting where Phillips/Blundell bat and in what order cos the latter cannot buy a fucken run of late.

My boy Phillips !!!!
So much to love about him as a cricketer. Shot son !
I'm with you, but it was a bad drop he put in. Just went the wrong way and it cost him.
Best all rounder in the world
Disclaimer. Actually 18th according to ratings, just behind Nathan ‘has never even managed a test 50’ Lyon

I don't think we're on top at all, we would have wanted to bowl them out for 200 or less given we have to bat last. If Sri Lanka get 350+ this becomes a very difficult test.

An edge to Sri Lanka at 302/7.
If we can wrap this up nice and early we’re doing ok, if these guys build a niggly partnership far less so.
It’s always a worry when the most effective spin bowler isn’t really a full time spin bowler.
Santner back to his old ways by the looks of things.
Will O’Rourke continues to impress, very important with Jamieson constantly breaking down and Wags and Boult out to pasture.
