Josh Hazelwood is the best test bowler in the world

@mariner4life loving the slope at Lord's

We'd still say Hadlee was a better player.

If Hazlewood was a kiwi, Richard Hadlee wouldn't have a knighthood.

Great ball from the Hoff

Root gorrrrrrn

3 for the hoff now. What a line. What a seam position.

[mariner4life]

Yeah leaving Hazelwood out makes so much sense

Sure he would, for the following important reasons:

1. Hadlee was better
2. If 1 is not enough, Hadlee was first
3. If still in doubt, see 1

Hazlewood was barely a glint in the milkman's eye when Hadlee was finishing his career.

‘Twas ever thus.

Perhaps the retorting meme supply was running low

Will be interesting to see how Bancroft goes tonight. Warner wasn't the one I'd have picked to struggle most on his return.

@Donsteppa oi yeah nah first fucken one on the team sheet after Smith according to all the experts here. It is worrying, particularly as we only want to bat once

The Bancroft catch was great:

Burns falls to a superb catch at short leg from Bancroft

England v Australia in the second Specsavers Ashes Test

Astonishing that he could effectively drop and then catch a ball arriving so quickly to him.

Well balanced match right now although the weather may have the final say whoever gets on top.

Ripper!!!

Coming around to names on the back. Still loathe the numbers. Maybe if they were smaller? I dunno...

Yeah, cricket is gaining some popularity in eastern Asia....

[Siam]

@Paekakboyz don't think our boys have numbers in SL. A bit strange

[Paekakboyz]

@Siam yeah, is it a trial with the Ashes only? can't remember if any previous tours had numbers/names as well?

[Duluth]

@Paekakboyz

We have it in Sri Lanka

I think it's part of the changes related to the Test championship

I don't like them. The names are fine.
