Head has tested positive
So per the plot synopsis shouldnt the rest of his team now be isolation for 10 days??? Dont be stupid, nothing gets stuck to where their game is concerned its all fluxed and made up as they go |
|
By:
We need 2 days wiped out to rain and the Aussies to rest Starc, no Hazlewood or Cummins either
|

By:
food for thought here boys putting the apocalyptic(i'm looking on the bright side
) recent test 'performances' into cold statshttps://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/59825697 |
|
By:
Stats can misleading
When you send low pace plodders for bowlers and batters who sh!t their pants at anything above waist height at 90 mph you can expect to get a hiding Esp with 2 oaps as our main hopes Anderson must have been on the sauce when he said he thought we had a great chance ![]() |

Ian Chappell believes England are heading for a 5-0 Ashes defeat unless Joe Root is dumped as captain and replaced by an inspirational leader.
|
|
By:
I think this was said before the most recent loss.
|
|
By:
The problem with Chapelli's angle is that there is only one other player guaranteed his spot in that team and he's playing all 3 formats as an all rounder as well as franchise cricket and has various injury niggles as well as only recently wanting time for mental health related issues...

Bring back Mike Brearley
![]() I don’t think we should be looking fir solutions from this bunch of players and particularly this management. Sometimes you jus5 have to swallow and these are one of those times! We would be better served falling upon on knees to pray for the return of a Messiah. Send us a sign oh Lord |
|
By:
The Lord only looks down on the righteous..a term unbefitting this rabble
|
|
By:
ROOT should step up to the plate and open the batting
|
|
By:
Not happening lad, nor is he going to open the bowling.
Roy of the Rovers is football, not cricket The only quick fix is pride and stubbornness. They all have some ability at Test level but they are showing an incredible collective and individual brain fart in applying themselves to the art of Test Cricket Heads must roll from the top! |
|
By:
Stokes should be captain been saying that for 2 years
Root is a pooch with no bark even, too nice We need a man to lead this lot, a man who will look after his boys whether on the field or off it, Root is spineless and he smiles like a boy at the opposition its pathetic Stokes will chin the bast@rds if they mess with his lads Root tells his lads to ignore them, its pathetic |

Warner giving it some lip would be met with a verbal beating
Loud mouth little convict |
|
By:
Draw into 1.8
|
|
By:
Rain or covid?
|
|
By:
lot of rain forecast though not the certain type ...showery, thundery showers from what forecasts I've looked at...leave a bit of grass on could be over in 120 overs on recent form...
|
|
By:
Draw lay might be a good call but England at 14-1 on a green wicket with cloud cover fir the whole Test and Anderson and abroad is also worth a nicker for sport!
|
|
By:
If we bat second zero chance, if the convicts bat first and go past 300 we will crumble, it’s a cliche that’s true, it’s the “scoreboard pressure” thing as opposed to 300 or whatever being difficult
If we batted first PLUS just for once went left field and opened up with ROOT we’d have a sniff Sadly though in Test Cricket not just England but no side has any imagination, a great pity because if they did it would be more interesting |
|
By:
This Test Match only needs 3 days I think. Three and a half maybe.
|
|
By:
Draw 1.64
|
|
By:
if the draw is that skinny pre test they must envisage 4 days lost to rain o/wise England would be bowled out twice and still could be even in that scenario,INNIT!!
|
|
By:
![]() Maybe! |
|
By:
1.36 now for the draw, even with a flat pitch and rain forecast, England Batters cant defend against the Australian bowling attack. Cant be a bet surely
|
|
By:
Tonight looks a washout and Rain on Saturday and Sunday too!
If the grass is 8mm or longer I think there may be a result ![]() It kind It also gives us a chance ![]() The good news is we may not lose the series 5-0 ![]() |
|
By:
Amazes me why they cant just flip the coin while staff are clearing the water from the outfield.
|
|
By:
Weather will rescue us here
![]() No whitewash |
|
By:
The weather does love us, big up the rain!!!
|
|
By:
Where the rain gone
![]() Australia only need another 60 to put us under pressure |
|
By:
Why is Head who tested + the only one isolating? Thought it was all close contacts?
Same with Silverwood |
|
By:
Close contacts haven't had to isolate for months now, thats uk anyway. Don't know about Australia.
|
|
By:
Just watching the Alan Stanford documentary on Sky. Incredible stuff! Not quite as strange as Elizabeth Holmes, but still very surreal, and quite funny, tbh.
|
|
By:
The people who run our game!
|
|
By:
Australia make 200 theyll fancy getting the win in my opinion
|
|
By:
Complete waste of time. Rain stopped before the covers arrived.
|
|
By:
Again, stopped before the cover applied.
|
|
By:
It is over protective
Australia might well declare at 250? With rain day 4 they might as well as we aint making 300 anyway |
|
By:
So good theyve gone to the two groundsman for a chat about who wins the most sprints to the middle
|
|
By:
I cant believe I see the premium spinner bowling on day 2 with mid on and mid off back, jesus
|
|
By:
Leach should retire after this in protest
Its insulting to him this field |
|
By:
Id rather say ill get hit for 4s and 5s and take a few wickets cheers. Poor
