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

[Mr Redknapp]

Wouldn’t want to meet Boland on a dark night with cash on me.

Excuse me, He's a Durham legend mate

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

I'm sure everything will go okay with the football at least

The heroes in red and white can be allowed a bad day.

As long as Batman and Robin don’t get bastard booked

 

[Aidan11]

Starc got 77 today.

Why can't any of our lot do that?

 

[scotch]

As soon as Root’s wicket is gone we just crumble. Wtf is going to happen when he retires?

Good for 3 years on that front

 

[Binxy]

Starc got 77 today.

Why can't any of our lot do that?

Because we bat like idiots and bowl like idiots.

 

[scotch]

89-6 this session lads

Floodlights must have some sort of effect like, England chucked the 1st innings away and bowled averagely for large periods of the Aussie innings.. great take again from Carey

Closer to 10

Expecting a defeat. It's the latter I'm fearing where bad happens.

The lights are a huge part of it.
But we're in this position because of the first two innings.
We bowled like f***ing morons, how many short balls have Australia bowled?

Needs taking out of the team for his own good

No he doesn’t
He swings the bat hard
That’s the only requirement needed to play in the side

Starc got 77 today.

Because we have to face THEIR bowlers.

Can’t wait to read this thread back when we’ve won the series 3-2

 

[Aidan11]

Borthwick in for the 3rd test.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

I think the media that England aren't ruthless enough when they get a sniff of an advantage against decent sides

So this will this be since the 2010/11 Ashes win 15-0 out of a possible 17 tests in Australia. And this ain't the late 90's early 00's side either.
Pathetic that mind.

When did Woakes retire?

 

[Doctor_Sunlun]

I don’t see where we go from here after this series is over.

You peddle McCullum and I assume Stokes will call it a day. There’s hardly a long line of candidates to be captain, I’m ruling out Brook because there’s nothing between the ears and I’d imagine Root wouldn’t want it again.

There’s too many players in this time that simply can’t play test cricket properly, but can you go and rebuild a team out of county cricket in 18 months for the next ashes in England? I’m not so sure you can

 

[MKF]

You get the feeling every batter wants to grab a bit of glory for themselves and not think about the bigger picture. Not helped by the shocking bowling performance mind. It's a shambles really.
