Ashes 5th test - Sydney

[Aleem Dar]

Just in case there was any confusion. It's late, we're all on edge....

I think a combination of two months of sleep deprivation, the utter shambles that is this team, and the strength of the coffee out of my new pod machine has broken me. I've got the shakes.

Alistair?

 

[The Omega Man]

we will recover and get at least 270

Still on the Xmas sherry marra?

 

[Andy Reids Love Chil]

we will recover and get at least 270

We'll be lucky to get 70 at this rate.

 

[Aleem Dar]

one of the massive differences this series has been the aussies ease of judgement when it comes to leaving on length., if its going over the stumps and they dont like the look of it they leave it. when its us we just dangle our bat in the way

I take that point, but there's been 3 legside bouncers alone this morning. They'd be a wide in ODI cricket, no doubt.

another example there, head high and he follows the ball with his gloves

 

[Aleem Dar]

4!!!

 

[Crayon]

That's the way, Jimmy. Nick a single, take on Mitchell Johnson, and whack him for 4.

another example there, head high and he follows the ball with his gloves

and another, lucky 4 off it this time mind but just duck ffs

 

[Andy Reids Love Chil]

4 for Jimmy.

 

[daventry cat]

He shouldn't be in the side never mind captain.

never a captain in a million years.................. clueless, no authority, no stratergy. no lateral thinking, no leadership...................

he nearly edged it into his own face

The likes of Anderson, and Rankin could be excused but anyone who fancies themselves as a batsmen should be ducking.

This. Shit

 

[chopsfc007]

another one bites the dust

 

[MagicRat]

 

[Andy Reids Love Chil]

Well in Jimmy.

 

[Steak Pie]

This is like watching a computer game man.

Leave one hitting middle stump, ball balloon everywhere just yards from the fielders, then one inexplicably goes straight backwards for 4.

how many series had he lost before this one

 

[Aleem Dar]

Survives the short stuff, then the one ball thats pitched at a decent line and length he gets out to, couldn't make it up.
