A duck without facing a ball. If he wasn’t stupidly run out by Root, England would have likely won at a canter.
Is there a phrase for that?

I know like the rest on this thread you appreciated my insight and knowledge when it came to me telling all you fuckers about Harry Brook prior to people knowing very little about him. 😎

Ah, the fearsome Spanish attack of Mohammad, Mehmood and Burns.

But no, I'd still like to acknowledge England becoming only the 4th team in History to lose a match after enforcing the follow-on.

Aussies very gun-shy with the reviews after wasting them last match.

Sharma was out twice in the first over and they didn't review either one. Lucky he's out now for 12.

India wasted 2 of their reviews, then didn't review one that was out.
