The Cricket Thread

Game over, Ashes Over.

 

This is the most frustrating bit for me.




How I long for the top 3 of Strauss, Cook, Trott again

 

121-4 on this pitch is shocking.

 

Good thing for DRS. The Root decision was a bad enough decision, but that one on Brook was hideous.

And now another review.

 

The difference between Boland's first innings career stats, and second innings, is quite amazing. He must be one of the best second innings bowlers in history, statistically.

 

The team sadly is just a team of underperforming one day players. We’ve been poor at one day cricket for a while now and it’s carried into test cricket and only Root can bat like a test player sadly.

 

May as well give the Aussies the Urn tonight. At least then the England Team can have the rest of the time to play their favourite game. GOLF

 

If it wasn’t so bleak I’d enjoy it being 123-5

 

England have still bowled more overs in this match than Australia

 

I’m not that emotionally invested in the cricket, but given the high hopes of the England fans, this might just be more crushing than anything we generally suffer

The Aussies might actually be disappointed that we are sooooo awful

 

So disappointing. We’re playing a team short of a few of their best bowlers, on their pitch and we are horrendous.

 

Might have to consider the point of The Ashes soon, it's not even competitive anymore.

Australia are not even at their best and it is comfortable for them. England have lost in five days of cricket!

I hope the Barny Army give the team some abuse for the lack of concentration and determination.
