Totally agree, tremendous ball.

I hope you're right. We need a strong first session, 3ish wickets for not many runs.

If we can go in a few runs up, knock 250-300 and leave the something close to or starting with a 3 to chase I think we'll be in with a shout.

Broad is fit to bowl. So I think you're right.

I think I'll probably stream some of it today on that screen whilst bashing through linkedin on the other.

Definitely leaving on time today though.

Not at all - it just wasn't that good, and certainly not in the same realm as Anderson's. The latter was up there with 'that' Shane Warne ball to Mike Gatting in 1993.
