Australia v England, 2nd Test, 4th December 0400

[DonaldDownTheWing]

Bowling has carried on being utter dog shit after the break.

It’s such a shame because they looked so good in the first day of the series, but now they all look like county plodders.

Pink ball under the lights that supposedly moves all over.
I know let's bowl short.

These two tests have been such an opportunity;

Khawaja injured
An opener on debut
No Hazelwood and Cummins for both tests
No Lyon here

Starc has been great of course

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

Pink ball swings all over.............. so we bowl short.

Haway man

 

[Aidan11]

I think they are going to have a big lead.

It’s stupid. We’ve not consistently hit line and length all game. Every over there’s a free hit.

 

[Digsys dinner]

Our bowlers just not looking dangerous at all, really don’t know how we change this like

 

[Randy Ostrich]

What would the equivalent be in football?
Would it be like playing five centre forwards and saying we'll just score more than you?

Constantly playing lazy hospital passes out from the back because it's the style that you want but get punished and refuse to learn.

 

[Sillypoint]

if only we had some bowlers with unbelievable control of the ball

So Southampton under Russel Martin

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

Oooo can we get ball change luck

If this is a plan then the bowlers should just rebel. If it's not a plan then God helps us.

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

Archer can fuck off with this bowling like. It’s just lazy and shite.

Brain dead isn’t it.

What does the bowling element of Bazball entail? Chuck a few pies and hope they sky it?

This, these first 2 tests we have probably seen the weakest Aussie XI in an Ashes series down under for decades yet we still look like going 2-0 down.

Given the way we bat, it’s feasible that they think the opposition will just do the same.

Batting and bowling we do the opposite of what we should be doing.
Are we just trying to be zany and different to everyone else?

 

[Hongkongphooey]

Flat as a fart

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

The willingness to work hard whilst being proactive in taking runs is the key difference between their batting line up and ours.

We have only one man willing to do that.
