He's horribly out of form. Has been for a while. He was **** in the WC and he's been shunted around the test order looking for a place for him. If he's not taking wickets then he isn't contributing. Hopefully he'll bat for 4 hours today and keep his place. More likely that Lyon will show that it's a turning wicket that Ali failed to exploit.
Australia deserve to win... england have done nothing but use excuses like a bowlers sore arm for example.. that was day1 its now day 5! Do they think Australia dont have issues.
Agreed. I can't see us surviving the day especially now its overcast. Its a tricky one - do you take someone out of the firing line who is getting stick for their own good or will he react badly if dropped? I'd drop him personally. We needed him yesterday and unfortunately he wasn't up for it. **** with the bat too atm. We're effectively a man down. Really since he had that excellent series against SA a couple of years ago he's lost the plot.
Being a bowler down from the first morning is a major disadvantage in a 5 day test. Especially when he’s your best bowler. You don’t watch much cricket do you Santa?
So is playing in england for australia. Excuses .. be better and credit australia for grinding it out.
Im english, but I like Australia . I like england just have a thing for austrlia and west indies at cricket.
He's English and can be alright but he's specifically on the wind up for this series. No reason other than to get responses, he's harmless though. In fairness he seems to have put some legwork into googling info as his cricket knowledge has increased in the past few days - not sure about any understanding though.
