4th Ashes Test - Old Trafford

[brandon]

Let’s be honest, aside from a few decent balls from Broad - England have bowled shite this morning. They’ve eased to 49 runs, far too many four balls have been given.

Chilly September morning, first hour, two wickets taken - they should’nt have even passed 30.

Sat next to Merv Hughes' tour squad.....

A bit of a nightmare scenario here like.
2 batsmen at the crease we can't get out.

Getting carted around here

 

[brandon]

These two will still be batting after Lunch, no f***ing doubt.

England have bowled like cünts so far.

 

[Sharpshooter]

Too short from Leach.

 

[Far Tibetan Mountain]

This could turn into an Ashes winning partnership here.

 

[Sharpshooter]

Closer than it looked. I think Root went for it on the basis of who's as the crease.

 

[mackembhoy]

I thought that was out.

Turns out I was right. I think umpires call is bollocks really(as the margin is too big)

Not so worried that the Aussies will score - more that we won't.

Bob Willis hates umpire's call - if it is hitting, it is hitting is his view.

Not showing any faith in Overton

Laubaschagne showing the value of a good county season before playing test match cricket mind.

Something the ECB could learn to do for our so called test batsman. But no we'll have them preparing with the hundred next season.

There's definitely an argument against it, but until the technology is 100% accurate (if it ever can be) then it will have to stay there.

It's ridiculous. Pick him and then bowl Leach after an hour? Makes no sense at all, none.

 

[Sharpshooter]

Leach has a long term future in this side. Really good bowler. Much more in control than Ali who although is capable of taking wickets in clusters, never really had that ability to tie a batsman down.

 

[mackembhoy]

Can see these two quadrupling like

You at the game I take it?

Confusing me while i'm watching Overton bowling

 

[cooky]

Hope I regret saying this but Overton is a proper plodder county bowler.

 

[Far Tibetan Mountain]

Most predictably, Lachampagne and Smith form an instoppable partnership. What will it take to get these two out?
