Ashes 2017/18

These pitches in Australia is what is ruining test match cricket plus the ball fcuking wank be looking at 600+ here and another big score by smith
 
Might as well just set up a bowling machine and fuck off home. Never getting them out.
 
Why do we persist with bowlers who are only good in English conditions, in other countries ?

Especially when we've lost a series. We know we can compete in England with these players, we know every single thing about them, so what's the harm in replacing them for the 'dead' games ?

At least pick a spinner who actually spins the fucking ball.
 
Don't wanna write him off but Curran seems like more of the same. 81-83 mph leg side bollocks so far.
 
england did not stand a chance in the ashes and 5.0 is on the cards again and the 4th test is over all ready england will not get 400 runs in this test and that's with 20 wicketsthe wicket is flat as a pancake and they will score big runs and then they have the bowlers that don't need anything from the pitch to help just the england batters giving them the wickets for them and for me its the same every time we tour over there and you need a big lad to bend his back into it and hit the wicket and a couple of spin bowlers swing is the last thing you need with conditions and the ball

had the radio on and listen to the game for a couple of hours but the pre match interview with root was shocking and i nearly turn it of right there root was saying he was happy with the year as a whole and talked about that declare and losing vs west indies was right and did not see england losing and then saying next time we tour the ashes in 4 years time we will look to pick the right players to play over there ?????? what a load of crap and if he's saying what i think he is saying and never in a million years will the ECB change and give root the power to pick a squad i even think root is not a good captain and does not have full control of the players anyway

and why did root not pick the spinner knowing the wicket was flat ??? and england will be spending most of the game in the field and bowling i just don't get it we have lost the ashes and you pick like for like and think you can beat them

With Smith and Marsh both still there, this could get really ugly and both batsmen end up getting huge scores.

England could be struggling to stay in this game half way through day two.

I feel another demoralising loss for England. The selectors want to have a good word with themselves.
