Cricket Thread

Mel Jones gets on my fucking tits. In fact all Aussies get on my fucking tits. The only ones I ever liked were Richie Benaud, Shayne Warne and Dame Edna fucking Everage. Now they are all deceased every remaining aussie gets on my fucking tits. But why is Mel Jones, Ricky Ponting and Mark fucking Taylor on my telly?
 
The No balls suggest we are either very under prepared, absolutely rattled or both, where has the control gone? This four runs an over will be five by the end of play

Agree on Jimmy but Broad still has lots to offer, don’t understand why we took tongue off when we had two new batsmen at the crease & he got the ball talking, as for Robinson I feel like screaming at the tv when he plods in at 79mph, rather see Root chucking some muck….god we miss Wood & Archer

Broad Anderson Robinson are bowling at around 80mph and is not good enough even at lords its poor

I'm pretty sure they respect the Aussies and what they are - that doesn't mean you can't place faith in your own style of play. I felt Australia got away with it a bit in the last test and we should've won but for various mistakes in the field and an early declaration. This time round they're looking more comfortable but then again they have a great record at Lords against plenty of England sides that never played Bazball.

Bazball is a cheap way of playing cricket by cutting corners and with lack of planning, But when you come up against the best team in test cricket they quickly find you out and punish your weaknesses in lack of planning and lack of test matches,

What England is doing is papering over the cracks and gambling on 3 bowlers that are not match-fit and ageing with everyday that ticks over in the ashes, Jimmy Anderson looks 40 with his bowling figures and speeds, Broad also looks like he's bowling in lead boots,

We need a completely new bowling attack that can bowl at good speeds and swing the ball, Also why have we not played a spinner ? even if it's just to change it up and stop them just picking us off

Tell you what mate - why don't you put yourself forward as the new England cricket coach. You seem to have all the friggin' answers!

Usual suspects in here moaning as usual when the going gets a little tough.

The same people who can barely offer a well done when England are playing well.

when you say the same people moaning when we are losing, but never give credit when winning, when was the last time England won the ashes home or away,

Right now England is in a right old mess and looking at a whitewash at home to the Aussies ?
i think we have a right to moan

Having all the answers ? it's just plain old cricket that sometimes is the right call

To be fair, you're always a glass half empty person when it comes to the England cricket team. I seem to recall you having a right downer on the 2019 season, despite the fact that we won the World Cup and played in an entertaining Ashes series that included one of the greatest ever finishes to a test match at Headingley

For some winning the ashes is seen as the pinnacle for English cricket. I’d certainly trade in our t20 World Cup if it meant we won this series personally. It’s just so depressing watching us look so impotent against Australia at home

She is a bit smuggy, do the Aussie broadcasters have as many English as we do their lot? We’ve lost Bumble Botham Gower etc and replaced them with Morgan & a part time KP, just feels like we’ve gone too far the other way

A T20 World Cup, yes, but in 2019 it was the ODI World Cup that we won and that had been the Holy Grail for many England one-day sides down the years

Test cricket is the pinnacle and playing and winning the Ashes is the level all English Cricketers should aspire to and want to achieve in beating the Aussies home or away, This England squad and coaching staff/captaining, should all hang their heads in shame after today, Not being good enough at everything is hard to watch,

Unless the bowling Gods sprinkle some magic dust on the England bowlers after tea then it's going to get ugly very quickly,

Kevin Pietersen just said what everybody else is saying

Miles too far. Bumble resigned but Gower and Botham were binned off by Sly as being too expensive, and replaced with the likes of butcher and keys, both dull, especially butcher. Last ashes in Aus was covered by bt and all the commentators were Pom-bashing Aussies, no note taken that a large chunk of their audience were poms
 
It’s great the way we have been playing you can be attacking in bowling batting but you still have to put the discipline in! Weather this morning and through the day seems they thought just to turn up and the Aussies be down 5 by lunch!
