Yep, agree with that

Not watching today but we're not exactly twatting them all over the park and have lost 2 wickets already!

The balls doing a lot more, but we seem happy to keep swinging rather than dig in. There's credit in the bank with how many tests we've won playing this way. But an Ashes loss, when we've been in a position to win both tests so far, would undo all of that.

Yep, just needed to dig in a bit and hopefully see off the best of what they've got to offer, then ramp up the run rate again when they start bowling dross. At this rate they'll be back in batting before lunch ffs!

Genuinely what does stokes do these days? Like having 10 players.

also that TMS interview with duckett last night was awful listening. One arrogant wanker

He wouldn’t or at least shouldn’t be in this team based on his fitness levels, if he wasn’t captain I just don’t see how he should be playing, where has the dynamic fielding gone? The 87-88mph bowling or spell of bumpers when we need a wicket? He bats like Stuart Broad these days as well, it’s like he’s focused too much on captaincy & let the other facets of his game fall away, I understand he’s nursing his knee, but the ashes is no place for a half fit all rounder

So; how many of the England wickets have been down to unplayable (aka "jaffa") deliveries then?



By the way; where the fuck does Jaffa come from, in relation to cricket? I always thought it meant an infertile bloke.

Another batter thick as fcuk just concede the ashes and go home England

 

[kippaxwarrior]

I'm all for attacking cricket but this is stupid and arrogant from England

 

[waspish]

Every wicket apart from stokes we gave them away Bairstow and stokes played the short ball well the rest braindead cricket

 

[waspish]

If we get to just 60 behind I’ll be happy as fcuk

I’m ready for a refresh of this team tbh, sick of the same old faces. It’s like an old boys club rarely do any new faces get a chance. Just see the decision to go back to moeen Ali over a Liam Dawson who has been performing well in county cricket.

Not only that but in every interview they come across as smug arrogant tossers.

Broad playing more sensibly than some of the top end.
