How do you play that?
|
|
By:
Weve got to be way more proactive with rotation this series
We dont have peak Anderson, Broad and a Swann nowadays With backup like Bresnan To be fair Root is rotating well here cant knock him for that |
|
By:
Their trying but dont have the skills
|
|
By:
They aint playing with Leach
![]() |

Aussie Aussie Aussie!!!
|
|
By:
welcome back Jack ! - wasn't even a bad over...
|
|
By:
It wont help that there just taking Leach out the ground
Just tell him to toss it up and hope they sky it ![]() |
|
By:
The wheels are starting to come off
|
|
By:
make a sentence out of the following words :
wheels....off......falling.... |
|
By:
lol sonts
|
|
By:
Butler is not a good keeper
|
|
By:
I think its time to haul leach back off
![]() I wouldnt want to be in Roots shoes now This is not gonna be a nice experience without a decent bowling unit |
|
By:
Marnussssssssssssss!!!
|
|
By:
Stokes with a niggle now as well...
|
|
By:
Theyve got the dross to feed off now

By:
Wood has been terrific.
|
|
By:
Well played Oz. Proper test match innings from both these lads.
|
|
By:
Very little team harmony out there
![]() A bunch of lads thrown together and asked to stick a shirt on it looks like Stokes looks like a man who rather be anywhere else They tried early doors but are getting ground in to the earth now |
|
By:
looks like it is going to be a long series for England . Aussies dominant so far today .
|
|
By:
Woods done well but Root clearly cant be blamed for a hammering
We’re simply nowhere near a standard needed for these conditions |
|
By:
England unlucky not to have a couple more wickets but I fear that the afternoon sessions are going to be difficult now.
|
|
By:
The management need to be called out
Theyve taken a bunch of bowlers who they know arent fit enough to play 5 test matches How can you build consistency and partnerships when you need to chop and change the bowling line up game after game? Anderson and Broad shouldn’t be there if they cant play 5 tests ffs |
|
By:
Its not a good luck when Broad is “rested” and yet Stokes who hasnt played since July is the one the pin their hopes on
The Aussies dont even need to be above average here tgats how bad it is |
|
By:
Oz could have been 33-3 this morning and then it's a totally different game. I do agree with you however that if you are not fit enough to play every game why are you selected to go on tour.

Burns having a game here...
|
|
By:
taxi for burns
|
|
By:
Burns might need taking out the firing line after this
Its nice weve got them lining up plenty of replacements ![]() |
|
By:
Id be tempted to go in with 7 bowlers next test
Its not like wed make less runs anyway ![]() |
|
By:
“We migh see some short stuff here” - Micheal Clarke
Its England in 2021 our default setting is short stuff |
|
By:
might get some overheads help in this final session..just half a chance if they get one of Carey or Head quickly of really restricting the damage.
|
|
By:
having to bowl an over from a half fit Stokes and now Root himself on not exactly ideal..this is the game right here
|
|
By:
run a ball 50 from Travis Head - would have got good odds on that
![]() |
|
By:
England potentially two bowlers down
|
|
By:
Root is a poor Captain but what is he supposed to do? Moen at 11 would have added more than Leach! He should have been looked after better. Burns has consistently struggled but the loss of Archer was the biggest blow.
|
|
By:
I feel a bit for Leach, doesn't get a gig all summer and then with little prep and the oppo intent on destroying you on a pitch offering little or nothing for a finger spinner..
|
|
By:
Bowling an injured Stokes
More Kwakiutl leadership and planning! |
|
By:
Burns drops another?
Why us he the slip in any case! |
|
By:
yep, I think they said he catches 1 in 3 currently...
Travis Head hundred off 85 balls ... ![]() |
|
By:
Agree with that Brent.
Again if us kdown to leadership and management of the side. I don’t blame Leach for not being good enough but Moen and Rashid are but neither wants to play Test cricket….why? |
