Moderators Casino Posted December 26, 2021 Moderators Share Posted December 26, 2021 The lack of prep is criminal Maybe understandable this time but it's been happening for a while Our top order is shit Broad and Anderson shouldn't be anywhere near the tour Firstly, they're ineffective in aus conditions and secondly they should justve had 6 months off It's also a joke that test match balls aren't all the same manufacturer, though fuck knows how few we would score then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted December 26, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted December 26, 2021 Who replaces these guys? I don't mind Anderson bowling when he's keeping things tight, so long as others can attack. I don't understand Stokes going neither- no way can his preparation be so good, and a tour that doesn't seem to have enthused some players is hardly going to help his mood and capabilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter desperado Posted December 26, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted December 26, 2021 Glutton for punishment staying up in hope for better. This next hour could see the Aussies retaining the Ashes. If we don’t take 2 or 3 wickets then it’s game over. Come on Jimmy and the rest of the gang, please just give us a good hour…..

Site Supporter desperado Posted December 27, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted December 27, 2021 First time this series I’ve been glad I’ve stayed up. Good bowling so far. Think I’ll stay awake to lunch now. Anderson should have more, he’s beating the bat so much. I know the Aussies have been far better this series, but bloody hell how many times do they play and miss!

It’s hard to give him credit for the odd decent thing he says, as he’s so anti-English it’s unreal. On England’s most successful session of the series he still didn’t give any credit, he carried on with his tirade. Would love it if we get another couple of wickets, I might even tune back in after lunch to see what he has to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CambridgeBWFC Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Get into a decent position and another abject performance from the top order means all that work is undone. Pathetic. Too many not good enough in this form of the game and under prepared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobyBrno Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Only Root, Anderson and maybe Malan are in the same league as this Aussie team and Jimmy is 39! They can make as many changes as they want, we don’t have anything to match them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted December 28, 2021 Moderators Share Posted December 28, 2021 If anything, there's been too many changes We will go to the windies and do well Then we will have a good summer...but until we get a couple of reliable openers, we have a problem It's gone on too long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traf Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 The only surprise about an innings defeat was how few runs the Aussies actually needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Bairstow, Burns, Buttler, Crawley, Hameed, Stokes & Pope have a combined 418 runs at an average of 14.4. Only 4 players have scored over 100 runs in the series and aside from Jimmy's overall 7-99, the bowling hasn't rally been good enough either. @Boby Brno is correct, only Root, Anderson and Malan can hold their heads up right now. But Silverwood says our catching has been good, so it's all fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underpants Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Touring anywhere you will be up against it from the start. But even taking that in to consideration what we have seen dished up has been unacceptable. Its not as though we didn't know where are frailties were (Openers an general stick-about-ability). The thing that grates me more is that the Aussie aren't even a great team. They are certainly not a 3-0 team at this stage. And there's an argument to be had that their build-up to the series was worst than ours. The contest has gone so any upturn in our performance will be vertically irrelevant.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
