Before the series I thought england would lose 3-1, maybe 2-1 but yes, the 5-nil is looking on the cards. Ali must be the most frustrating of batsmen. He looks good and then plays a stupid shot.

Smith had only just moved to fine leg and he duly obliges first ball after, FFS. RadioactiveWaste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve become a sub standard fielding side this series which is alarming Why do practice catching beteen tests when you can go golfing instead?

And to add, I've seen some...poor, Abject, Disappointing and stupid batting strokes in this Mornings session, I was brought up on John Edrich, Geoff Boycott, Chriss Tavare, 3 batsmen that were horrible to watch, They played a boring and long game as a test match lasts 5 days and were a pain to get out, That declaration in the 1st test in the 1st innings is looking more and more a bad decision. It looks as tho our batters have forgotten how to defend a ball or leave a ball and they have to look to attack every ball 🙄 Henrycav81 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PistoldPete Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 England still over 100 runs behind on first innings. They look like they just want to hand Aussies the Ashes. Apart from Stokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve become a sub standard fielding side this series which is alarming They both dropped 2 chances which they should have taken,granted Roots cost more runs, but Bairstow as been poor all series,to be fair our catching generally as been poor but Bairstow as got a big pair of gloves to aid him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TuffLuff Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I think it’s a bit like some Derby teams we’ve seen in recent years, players may be putting in 100% effort for a manager and trying to make a project work, but if they aren’t quite convinced or have any doubt about what they are trying to do it simply won’t wok consistently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow!, Entertainers we've become since the birth of 20/20, Ramp shots, Reverse sweep, Paddle shot...it's just not cricket 😁 I'm not knocking the convicts as so far they've done a good job...but bloody hell talk about giving them a helping hand 🙄 Well I see they're giving us a helping hand...Starc and Murphy 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
