We'll be all out for 300 at this rate, shocking batting. Today was like England winning the lottery, then this afternoon setting fire to the cheque.

Carnero Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 All ego, no basic common sense... Aussies lose their key bowler, England cruising.. just needed to grind them into the dirt from here... the only way the Aussies were getting back into the game was by England taking on the short ball with everyone set back. Utterly brainless. Jimbo Ram and Henrycav81 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For around an hour in that last session England were playing reckless cricket not aggressive cricket amazingly it took Stokes to come in to calm things down. I enjoy the aggressive intent we play with but for a while it was ridiculous we were slogging at everything RadioactiveWaste, Carnero and Jimbo Ram 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then all you have to do is not get out for 10 overs and wait for seam bowlers to tire and part time spinners to come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram-Alf Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Roots dismissal I've watched it several times and on my 55" TV it looks like the ball has hit the ground while Smith gets his fingers beneath at the same time...yes it was reviewed and given out by the 3rd umpire but Christ on a bike even my old eyes still say it hit the ground SKRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Critical session, this next one. Weather the storm, earn the right to play a few shots, then look to turn the screw. We've been gifted a chance here and we may not get another this series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your fingers need to be under the ball Tony Grieg once held a ball in his hand then put his hand on the ground and it looked like the ball had hit the ground on the TV pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Perhaps we should declare and get bowling at them with plenty of time for an easy last innings run chase? That'd really confound Australia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
