It won’t set test cricket back 10 years. There is a balance and the way we played pre Covid under root when we won in South Africa was the right way to play imo. This is just stupid brain dead cricket. It’s not entertaining it’s embarrassing

It's simple cricket needed, just value your wicket at all cost, there is no time limit to batting and no amount of overs too face, just 5 days of cricket with 2 innings for each team,

BAZBALL is all well and good for test cricket, but what plans are used if you don't score when facing the best test cricket team,

i think this sums BAZBALL cricket up

Piss poor that. Can't see Australia getting anything less than a 350 lead

No; I've sussed the plan. Rattle them out for 80, leaving 172 to win.



And still lose by 40 runs!

I thought the Lyon injury might have been the turning point (no pun intended) yesterday. I was wrong.

Australia 2nd innings begins at 91-0,good start.

It was the turning point for an England batting collapse!

Gonna be great fun watching our 3 “fast” bowlers bowling on a relatively docile surface over the next 4 sessions.

Tongue the only one with relative pace

Actually I think you were right, just for the wrong team.

When was the last time we won a fucking game at our so called home of cricket as well?

Feels like we get beat by every fucker at Lords!

 

[jaiguruKun]

Depressing. If you're just playing the same way all the time and are not willing to adapt your approach based on the match situation, you may as well not bother playing test cricket.

Ireland, recently.

Embarrassing cricket……..

 

[waspish]

Bazball more like CretinBall

 

[MCFC1993]

Both their openers riding their luck. Good start from Anderson and Broad.

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Well that was fucking brainless. Luckily if we can somehow roll these today we still have a chance with no Lyon 4th innings but we don't make it easy for ourselves.

 

[Gabriel]

Strange pitch. In all three innings, both sides have had balls cutting players in half, with the bowlers actually enjoying success when the batsmen have made decent contact and holed out.

 

[waspish]

Need to get them out for 180 max we need for these Aussies not to be so fucking Jammie

 

[xgorton]

One club man don't give 2 facks about England at football,cricket,rugby whatever.

 

[dadnlad]

why dont we bounce them out ?

 

[KS55]

I see Jimmy extended his world batting record….0 not out again.

 

[Protein Junkie]

Australia won't need Lyon.

And it avoids the Lyon vs Donkeys headline.
