Already given them 16 extras....... Read an interesting stat yesterday that England in first 2 Tests actually scored more runs off the bat that Australia but gave away 40 odd more extras....... Hence 2-0 down....
Made the mistake of getting quite excited during the morning session. These two have now added 80 runs, having both been dropped with dollies. Our outfielding is ridiculously poor. Waste of time this now. We're just not good enough.
Blimey Col still 4 down for 160, would say that was a good session for England as a whole. Yes fielding has been bang average like last test but still a great start
Your beanstalk sub looks a good fielder. Pratt is it? Maybe the others could take a page out of his book.
Root dropping Marsh has put the tin lid on things. He's on his way to a very quick hundred and England are going from being well on top to being batted out of the game and series. Seriously poor cricket yet again.
I think the weather (bad light, rain) will quell your consternations Col. Still, that will ruin your chances of winning back the Ashes.
Exactly this. The only difference between these teams is the fielding. 13 catches dropped in 2 tests and a few hours of the next one. Unforgivable.
Wikipedia : Marsh is an English surname which derived from the Norman French word 'Marche' meaning boundary. How apt.
Marsh playing true to his BBL form. Glorious says commentator after Mitch hit 4 via on drive after hitting on side six. Oui Madam. C'est vrai!
