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

[Inside Forward]

As usual with England as soon as a wicket falls you can count on another one falling only a few balls later.

 

[Unlucky Black Cat]

Now Atkinson is a wanker but it’s clearly a coaching conversation to take it on.

Baz ball has failed I’d be happy to see him gone

Disgraceful shot in the circumstances.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

And that should be the end of Atkinson in this team.

Shite with the ball, braindead with the bat.

Harsh there mate, he's a good bowler and it's not his fault the top order keep getting them into this mess.

not the lower orders fault the batsmen keep making the same mistakes

 

[mackem1989]

Disgraceful shot in the circumstances.

Aye agreed stupidly and silly I mean a tail ender playing brain dead shots is expected it’s the openers upper and middle order playing em which get me.

How is TNT coverage miles behind Bet 365

 

[Rokerparkpies]

Apologies everyone..just got up to see England crumble once more..my fault!!

 

[mackem1989]

And that should be the end of Atkinson in this team.

Shite with the ball, braindead with the bat.

He shouldn’t really be put in the position to have to try big shots he’s a tail ender who’s having to try play due to how shit the majority of the lads employed to bat are doing.

 

[hudson88]

We’re going to be bowling with a brand new ball with the light fading….theres method in this collapse

Harsh there mate, he's a good bowler and it's not his fault the top order keep getting them into this mess.

1 wicket in the series just isn’t good enough.

Bowled better than his series figures, but he's got a test 100 he can properly bat, just stupid to hook with 5 players waiting for the shot

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

He shouldn’t really be put in the position to have to try big shots he’s a tail ender who’s having to try play due to how shit the majority of the lads employed to bat are doing.

Doesn’t get in on his bowling for me. 1 wicket in the series is utter shite.

 

[Rokerparkpies]

Just seen Smith the cheat catch jacks..fair play the cheating bassa.

 

[Binxy]

This, I don't know what people expect him to do, scratching about for the odd single will get us nowhere.

 

[mackem1989]

I’ve just turned the tele off and it’s turned itself back on even the ghost in the house wants to suffer watching this.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

1 wicket in the series just isn’t good enough.

He'll do alright in England. Not that it'll make you feel any better mate haha. He should be made for hitting the top of off; problem is lad the batsmen keep letting them down and leaving them with very little rest and any sort of target to defend.

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

This, I don't know what people expect him to do, scratching about for the odd single will get us nowhere.

Not trying hooking into the leg side when there’s 3 men out, and he’s just cleared the fielder by a foot or so?

 

[Rokerparkpies]

This, I don't know what people expect him to do, scratching about for the odd single will get us nowhere.

Ironically its now you need to bash it all over the ground.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

He shouldn’t really be put in the position to have to try big shots he’s a tail ender who’s having to try play due to how shit the majority of the lads employed to bat are doing.

this a trillion percent, even though it's not mathematically possible.

 

[CraigyLee]

Wouldn’t be surprised to hear stokes say that even batting sensibly him and jacks still nicked off so we go back to going hard at it

 

[PitYacker]

We need a complete rethink. We just keep doing the same stuff over and over expecting different results both on and off the pitch.

It’s like they don’t have any capacity to learn or adapt.
