4th test Manchester


Haven't had time to catch up with the whole thread, but am I correct in thinking we're bowling onto a road again?
A précis.

We should never have put them in to bat.
Bairstow might as well not have hands.
The game is as much as over already.
The Aussies will score 380+

That about covers it I think.



…..sarcasm you understand.

Don't think either are great commentators full stop and I'd rather have some further England/Australia representation.

To be honest though, outside of Atherton, there's not many decent ones to pick from.
I like Sangakkara….but Karthik did a perfect Commentators Curse at the start of Broad’s last over to Head….”Stuart Broad bowls well to left handlers…” First two balls then smacked to the boundary…..🙄

I agree on Atherton - I like Nasser and think Sangakkara is great and Taylor / Ponting pretty good as well.

I like Nasser, don't think he's as good as he initially was though. Seems a bit hyperbolic now and tries to use too many new and trendy terms. IT IS NOT A GRAB NASSER IT IS A CATCH :mad:

Really like Taylor, Ponting is canny but I'm not too taken on Sanga.

I really like McGrath on TMS.
 
With the weather forecast and their series lead, all Australia need to do here is "not collapse" and the ashes are theirs.

Yep they bat the day and us winning is the least likely result with the weather around.

Really needed us to smash a 300-400 to set the game up for us to have the best chance.

Looks perfect for batting. The movement has been pretty easy to play.
