4th Ashes Test - Old Trafford

[Sharpshooter]

England are going to win the Ashes I feel.

Things are just breaking for them this summer. They'll pull a 2009 again.

I see they have two parttime spinners on. Have they been told they can’t bowl the quicks?

 

[Wise Man Says]

If/once this partnership is broken, I’d give us about half an hour. So, these two need to bat and bat. No real horrors though. Fingers crossed

When’s the last time Aussies won the ashes over here 2001 ?

Aye. 4-1 and Atherton’s last series in the side. That England team had a better batting line up than this one, unfortunately Australia had McGrath, Warne, Gillespie and Lee

 

[The Rat]

The key to this game was those drops off Paine and no ball in first innings

We then lost our head for a session n they piled on 150

Batting hasn’t cost us this game in the slightest

I’ve no idea what was wrong with Archer first innings, 10mph down bowling both sides of the wicket but that could be the difference

England's tail can bat a bit. None of them are total rabbits like Jimmy and Monty were.

I’d take Cummins on Hazlewood over Lee n Gillespie any day

Our batting wasn’t good, that era gets a complete free pass for some reason, they were a useless test team, absolutely useless

Times tea?

Is it 4pm?

 

[Oli Wagkz]

Fuck off

 

[Urraca]

Fat lady warming up

Bairstow wasting another review

 

[Sharpshooter]

Big wicket.

The tail needs to dig in.

Cheers. Be over by then now

 

[SAFC 2012]

That werent hitting

 

[The Rat]

Our hope is the light

But these have to be there at tea

They weren’t like. We competed with every nation barring Australia in the Hussain / Fletcher era.

Cummings over Lee. A fit Gillespie was unplayable.

 

[The Rat]

Oh ffs man

Pour decision

Fuck this

 

[Julio_Schwarz]

Start the car i fear. Cannot see the tail seeing this out with Starc bowling at them.

No retained umpires call. If given not out it would have stood as umpires call also other way round.

You’re talking about the side a few years later
