The Cricket Thread

Bollocks.

 

What is Carse doing?

 

Idiots. There's Bazball and then there's reckless. This is the latter.

 

Dear oh dear. Abysmal.

 

You cannot go from 150-5 to 172 all out.

 

Embarrassing again. This lot couldn’t assess a situation if their lives depended on it.
Unless wood or archer step up, this test will virtually be over by tomorrow

 

Now the bowlers have to bowl out Aus for less than 250 for us to stand any sort of chance. They knew the boundaries would be bigger. They knew the pitches would be faster and bouncier. Root got a good ball early in his innings. Brook was a tad unlucky with his dismissal. The rest pretty much threw their wickets away.

 

7 batsmen scoring 13 between them.

 

Hmm, India did only score 150 in a test match here in their first innings and went on to win the match.

 

Review!

 

And you should always try to reserve judgement until both sides have batted... but that said, the manner of dismissals really does suggest a lot of it was our own undoing rather than the pitch.

 

YES

 

Great review. And What a start from Jofra.

 

Holy moly that delivery nearly cut Smith in two!

 

Another couple before tea would be nice

 

No wood opening?

 

Atkinson showing why it's the right call. Some beauties just missing the edge.

 

Yeah guess Archer for 4 overs then Wood to replace him to keep the pace on

 

Smith and Labuschagne showing England how to bat when the new ball and fresh bowlers are making things tricky.

Our bowlers looked just as threatening as the aussies over the first 10 overs yet rather than play stupid shots and get out, they have been patient and are slowly building a score.
