What can you do! That was a leave too! |

By:
Into the tail almost

Dreadful shot

By:
We’re doing well could make 200

Nice to have David Gower back on commentary. Sky might yet find that their recent firings come to bite them on the bottom.
|
|
By:
Another dreadful shot
Butler playing for his career and Bstard struggling with any sort of rhythm Hopeless. Just not good enough tbf but coaching and leadership looks equally inept. How hard is it to push a couple of singles? Green and Lyon continually strangling England scoring |
|
By:
Another dreadful shot on the stoke os tea.
I hate you But,er |
|
By:
Another scripted shot.
|
|
By:
That's just horrendous batting. The pitch isn't that bad but the wicket shots today have been shocking.
|
|
By:
well, England did battle back to make...... 180 all out.
they look like fish out of water over in Aus |
|
By:
185* excuse me
|
|
By:
Pathetic really
Its a batting pitch yet theyve mad it look like anything ![]() The shots to get out some of them... ![]() ![]() |
|
By:
Barring Wood the rest are toothless plodders so Australia will make 400+ on this
We wont be making 300 in the series so thats 3-0 with 2 to try and avoid a 5-0 |
|
By:
The bowlers have given up as it is but they are so pedestrian and unmotivated
I cant see where they win a session much less get a draw or win a test |
|
By:
By contrast India have had 7 overseas opening stands lasting more than 20 overs. In the previous 10 years they had none they said on Sky!
You should see the steepling bounce at Centurion. There must be a clean out at the top in England after this debacle. |
|
By:
Its not like the pitch is that bowler friendly
As someone pointed out on another ‘a finger spinner shouldnt be taking 3 wickets on a green top on day 1’ Someone else on here pointed out they dont look coached and thats also true Just grt this test done and fein the cold of co vid to get them back here, just forfeit the rest of the series and save everyone the hassle of paying money to attend the mis match And the Aussies arent even out of 1st gear |
|
By:
This Aussie team isn’t event that great. It seems England moral looks poor. The only time they seemed to play really well was when Root was off the field in Adelaide. Maybe the players are not keen on playing well for him?! When he came back on they went to ****.
|
|
By:
I don’t think Aussie are that great right now either. I think their batting is brittle, great 3 and 4 but the rest are suspect and the tail is long. Of course their first choice attack is magnificent but I would love to see SA rip into their batting order on their own pitches
|
|
By:
I don’t think Root is a good Captain or leader. He needs to be defrocked.
|
|
By:
May be a delay.

Just tell them theyve all got a runny nose and the series is ended

Root cant get of the toilet hes a dodgy salad tell them that
Last bit of embarrassment to the tour |
|
By:
It sums up our toothless attack Robinson bowling short sh!t at 124ks
|
|
By:
Wood is quick though, Regular 150ks
|
|
By:
That was a shocking decision by the ump to give that, you could here the bat before pad
|
|
By:
Smith is on the decline in my opinion
110/3 really but 4 down |
|
By:
Decent session for us
|
|
By:
I dont mind the Wood used in short bursts argument
But a lot of bowlers need an over to loosen up and need a longish spell to build up momentum and rhythm, 3 over short bursts might work it seems Wood is quick from ball 1 |
|
By:
But what’s it like on the muscles these short spells ? Constantly coming in cold going out the attack coming back etc
|
|
By:
I think 2 over spells for Leach as well
![]() Just surround the bat for two overs and try and nick one Because hes not holding the end up that’s for sure |
|
By:
Got a sniff here, need to the tail quickly and only be down 30 runs, I just dont have any confidence in the batting
|
|
By:
Still think their big faves here , 50+ run lead is big at this point esp with it being 2nd innings run off
|
|
By:
back oz now, lay off in 2 quick wickets. Easy money
|
|
By:
What were BT thinking hiring Moeen for the studio through the night ffs?
The man could send a glass eye to sleep, such a dullard with zero charisma. He never even smiles, I always think he’s there out of duress, like somebody is holding his family. |

H.U.G.E WICKET

|
By:
Ah well well done the Aussies I guess
Shambles batting |
|
By:
Before we slag them off again....some pretty high class fast bowling. Done for pace as well. Not easy first up.
But... have we been here before? |
|
By:
The batting would have 3 down for less than 40 anyway whisp
![]() |
|
By:
Here we go
I was about to say why not just open with Malan cos the ball only ever 10 deliveries old when he comes to the crease anyway…then I see h’e’s left his bat in the hut And why did they change that damn rule for referrals where the ball had to be more than half a ball hitting? That wouldn’t have dislodged the bail |
