i wonder what pep would make of managing the england cricket team, for a start i think he would be shocked at how bad our bowlers are with a bat in their hand and would drill into the fuckers to make an effort like he does with fooballers getting them to play in different positions.
watching some of em bat you'd think they never pick a bat up! he said he'd like to play a team of midfielders, i reckon he'd play a team of all rounders

A tad harsh on wood with the bat there fella
 
We've got them now and we'll go on to win the series. The Aussies aren't a team they just have a few good individual players, absolutely nothing special at all. Warner, Labuschagne, Boland, Murphy must all be sweating on their place for the 4th test. Infact the only ones I rate are Head, Cummins, and Starc
 
I’d bring Tongue & Jimmy back for Ali & Robinson, thought Tongue looked useful with the bat, but Jimmy is a true tailender, fact is we need to take 20 wickets, the Aussies won’t continue to Toss off their wickets like they did in this test. When has spin actually won us a test since Swan ? Especially in this country. We’d have two genuine quicks, two swing/seamers and Broad who does a bit of both, Root can step in with a bit of spin if required
 
A good result for England but still considerable work to do if they are to prevail. Both teams are studded with individual talent, but, in truth, neither team has put together a Test in which the majority have played to a 7 throughout. What is even stranger is that few players seem capable of playing well in consecutive Tests, nerves?. Hard to see any of that changing in the remaining two Tests, so can see this going to the last day of July.

We'd have thrashed them if it wasn't for Mitchell Marsh and his century plus score. Only Aussie who looked at all decent in the first innings.
