3rd Ashes Test - Headingley

[scotch]

No one got a brain cell to see this is not a pitch to drive on

 

[TravellingMackem]

This lot deserve a 4-0 pasting. Australia aren't even particularly good...

 

[Dexter]

Get Buttler out of this team.

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Team for Old Trafford

Burns
Sibley
Hildreth
Root
Pope
Stokes
Foakes
Archer
Broad
Anderson
Leach

Roy, Denly, Bairstow and Buttler don’t deserve to be in the side

Burns has done enough to stay
Root is in dreadful form but still has class. Change the captain to Stokes or Broad or Jimmy
Bowlers have been fine. Woakes unlucky to lose out to Jimmy

 

[JohnSmithUK]

Would it be any worse if we put 11 debutants out there for the next test?

 

[zebediah]

Well I suppose this has taken the focus off Roy

 

[Mainze]

I hope Root resigns this evening.

next test.

No chance. Root 4 all the way and Stokes at 3 would be crazy.

 

[Deleted member 36123]

I can’t stop shaking my head - ridiculous!

 

[dangermows]

I hope Root resigns this evening.

Will that fix our batsmen being appalling?

 

[JohnSmithUK]

Psitives.

 

[Mainze]

Will that fix our batsmen being appalling?

Its a start.

 

[Deleted member 26]

Bring the kids in next test, just write this series off. Butter, Denly, Roy out.

 

[Steak Pie]

They've put a man out for the upish drive
Waste of a fielder, there's no way he's driving after wha.... FFS

 

[SAFC11]

An absolute disgrace. No way should every batsmen be getting caught in test cricket

 

[aceman]

Is this the lowest score in an Ashes innings by England?

 

[Far Tibetan Mountain]

Is this the lowest score in an Ashes innings by England?

it must be. we only have one batsman in double figures ffs.

 

[The Snowman]

imagine denley topscoring with 12

 

[dangermows]

Its a start.

It's not though really. Whilst he has been poor in general since taking over we are going to need a captain who can somehow get his bowlers to flatten sides for a ton to stand a chance.

Pretty much the team I posted earlier, although, I had Curran for Hildreth and Ali for Leach.
It should be the nucleus of team for the next year. A lot will depend on the new coach, though.
