can little Joe, supported by his able lieutenants get us over the line?
don't hold your breath but this is a scenario that can define them |

Commentators, pundits “experts” I’ve $hit better
Nobody has mentioned the salient point Yet again we bottled it, won the toss and refused to bat in the Test format 1) shows the opposition that you are frightened of them 2) you CHOOSE to bat last when the pitch should be at its worst (conducive to spin, rough patches etc) 3) you CHOOSE to face “scoreboard pressure” It’s total lunacy |

did you watch the fist hour of the match SL ?
our line up would have been lucky to get 50... |
|
By:
it's not inconceivable this is on if joe can get 70/80 and Pope Billings 30/40,Woakes 30 and a few boundaries from the tail but unfortunately unlikely esp giving conditions are quite bowler friendly

Hit. Out.
Head, Green, Labuschagne (& Woakes) are the only runs in the game. |

By:
Another pathetic batting display
Did we actually make 300 in the series? We got saved last test so technically we did lose five nothing but score is 4-0 again We’ve pretty much lost 15 tests in a row since 2011 down there if not for rain assistance saving two draws Mind bending 13 official losses two lucky draws in 3 ashes series past 8 years... |

Have to try to take the bowlers out of their line and length, walking wickets otherwise on here.

anyhow,for me,great to see these pitches with smth in it for the bowlers and batsmen having to work for their runs
just had a great series between an improving SA vs Kohli's boys much more intriguing and great cricket imho |

By:
we've turned this round in a hurry...the wrong way.. but still..

By:
Two-an-over since the tenth...

By:
We took foot off before tea and never reasserted ourselves.
At risk of repeating - the *only* runs scored in this match have been run-a-ball type. |

By:
Ah well, it was a fun 90 minutes (during which my head was awol so I didn't profit, appropriately)

they are obviously coached to bat across the line, as very few play straight and hit the ball, back where it came from. Far too much joke cricket the 100 needs kicking out of the game and just play 20/20. Cricket needs to be played properly, where the bowling side, have to bowl the opposition out, before they can bat. Now the side selected for this tour and I said so at the time, was always going to be way short of what was needed and that is how its proved, especially in the batting line up. Apart from Root and an injured Stokes, the rest was unproven at this level and none have come up to scrath.

even T20 batters don't get out as quickly as this England test team!

it's a fitting finish to the series at least...comedy gold ...

you've got the Women's Ashes coming up
these mofos should be made to play that but i guess another drubbing would just about tip them over the edge and shatter their collective confidence irretrievably |

297 236 192 185 68 294 270 188 8/115 That’s pathetic on these wickets, not even 300 once Australia haven’t made 500 once and won 4-0 with unlucky not to win 5 zip Shows how bad we are at the minute |
