Like Labushagne, looks a class player.

 

[Thurston]

Barring a miracle, that’s the Ashes going back to Australia.

It would be quite the turnaround to go from 67 all out in the first innings to completing the 16th highest (and counting) final innings run chase in test match history.

How many do the Aussies reckon they need? They could bat for a couple of sessions, get 450-500 ahead and really humiliate us

They’ll bat TIL they get out. We’ll need 400 to win and get bowled out for 200

I have no idea how he wasn’t selected ahead of, well, every Australian batsman other than Steve Smith for this series.

Only way to get out their best batsmen is to hit them it seems.

Worked for Jardine

 

[Jack Torrance]

If you cant get him out knock him out

Typical that Smith is injured and they have literally no other batsman and his replacement is ... well their second best batsman!

Keep Bairstow in the team but take the gloves off him and bring foakes in. Denly or Roy are both lost causes so one has to be dropped for foakes.

Root is shot to bits as captain, it must be taken off him. Who replaces him is anyone’s guess mind.

 

[Far Tibetan Mountain]

Worked for Jardine

Someone knocked out Mr Jardine? He cant complain that he never asked for it like!

 

[Voice of fair play]

Keep Bairstow for me, he’s world class. And has feelings

Hate that fact he wants his own way and the fact he is a knob.

But there is no way imo, there is enough batsman in this country who are better bets to bat in this side,

 

[Tasman]

Root and England not aggressive enough with field placings

 

[JohnSmithUK]

England can't score 430.

Tidied.




And here comes boycoutt.

 

[Jack Torrance]

Stokes is brilliant like

 

[Scotty 1978]

A lead of 338, absolutely no chance here

 

[JohnSmithUK]

Worrying that we can now get them out, and our scared as fuck batting line up has to face aussie bowlers who can bowl line and length.

 

[BOYCEY]

Root and England not aggressive enough with field placings

Root has played enough times under the captancy of Morgan, so you would think he may have learnt a bit about field placings etc, but it seems not.

 

[Chappers]

Like Labushagne, looks a class player.

Unlike our lot he appears to understand how to play test cricket over 5 days.

 

[BIG BAZ]

Oh they can Mikey...they certainly can
