L/H White Posted December 4, 2025 Posted December 4, 2025 Seems like a very poor score Expert Vaughan reckons we should have been getting 400 Quote
DaisyHWanderer Posted December 4, 2025 Posted December 4, 2025 Happy for Root, not sure why we're throwing wickets away whilst he's still in and could add more to the total. Still too many ducks in this team Quote

superjohnmcginlay Posted December 4, 2025 Posted December 4, 2025 (edited) Over 300 is good all things considered. Great partnership at the end. 4 ducks and a Brook not so good. Maybe scrape to 350 tomorrow and rattle them out for 200 would be nice. Edited December 4, 2025 by superjohnmcginlay Quote
L/H White Posted December 4, 2025 Posted December 4, 2025 Only 74 overs bowled, didn't even make the new ball Shite Quote

Tonge moor green jacket Posted December 4, 2025 Posted December 4, 2025 Just seen some highlights. Still some poor shots and playing away from the body. Need to reduce the ducks, though Duckett got a pearler. Any more runs from here would be a bonus. Quote

Ani Posted December 4, 2025 Posted December 4, 2025 Missus made me go shopping today. i made her sit in car park listening to test match special till Root got his century. ’Did they win’ she asked Quote
L/H White Posted December 5, 2025 Posted December 5, 2025 (edited) Pitch doing nothing They'll be out of site soon Edited December 5, 2025 by L/H White Quote
Sweep Posted December 5, 2025 Posted December 5, 2025 There was some poor fielding today, it'll cost us. The good news is that the 5:0 is still on 🙂 Quote
BobyBrno Posted December 5, 2025 Posted December 5, 2025 Bowl them out early, get a good lead, wicket deteriorates, spinner (Jacks) takes five for nowt and we go onto Adelaide 1-1. I haven’t put any money on this. Quote
Sweep Posted December 6, 2025 Posted December 6, 2025 Is this pretty much the Ashes done, after only 5 days of playing? Quote
ZiggyStardust Posted December 6, 2025 Posted December 6, 2025 Good job their best bowler is injured, we might be in trouble if he was playing. Quote
L/H White Posted December 6, 2025 Posted December 6, 2025 (edited) A lot was made about this being the worst aus team for years So is ours tho Openers shite Bowler weak as piss 5-0 Edited December 6, 2025 by L/H White Quote
jmjhb Posted December 6, 2025 Posted December 6, 2025 Nail in the coffin for Bazball. Root and branch review required. Quote
