last thing england need is to bat tonight

Yep bet the opening batters praying we dont get then all out quickly.

Id declare now put england in we be 2/3 down by close of play.

Disagree. We’re better than 10 of them.

let cheats prosper Smith is what you get

Probably 9 tbf, Labuschange has probably been better than most of ours as well as Smith

Nah I simply mean take Smith out of their team and we are 3/0 up.

But the sub looks very good you’re right.

Without Smith they’re a mediocre side but the likes of Cummins, Lyon and Hazelwood are high quality cricketers.

I fear some of our team are burnt out following the incredible WC win. Whilst it’s great to finally win the World Cup, I would have taken the Ashes if given the choice.

I hate the Australian cricket team almost as much as Liverpool, United and Bayern.

Plus it doesn’t help having to get Smith out three times to get him out. That early LBW shout was very unlucky. Had the umpire said out we’d have skittled them for 220.

Tough one though as they did take Smith out for a game and absolutely battered us for the most part, until Stokes decided to single handedly win the game. Both sides are a bit shit tbh, only really half a proper team each

Tbf you could of said we were lucky to win the last test when they didn't have Smith, Lyon missed the easiest stumping ever and how the umpire never give that plumb lbw I'll never know, they should of wrapped the ashes up right there.

Even taking Smith out of their side I'm not sure I'd agree with you saying we'd be 3-0 up.

Brilliant double century from the cheating wingeing bastard.

 

[dadnlad]

they were all over the place in first test till the umpire gave them the option to change the ball
