Starting to think we could well lose the Ashes 4 or 5 nil again. Our batting isn’t going to be good enough.

It was as bizarre as it was entirely expected to hear Brook talk about going harder at the bowlers in the first match. They only batted for a fraction of their overs, and then did the same today - you're not going to beat many if you you don't bother with 1/3 of the innings.

Seems that an awful lot will depend on Archer in Australia.

Not the best start haha

 

[dadnlad]

More runs than wickets now though… small wins

Women have fell apart, can’t afford to sit there leaving dot balls piling up, very poor I’m afraid.

The ladies cricket team are abysmal.

LOL if you read the Indian fans complaining about their team.. you'd notice one constant along with yours..

Something along the lines of they are instagram models who model uniforms, bats and balls on a ground instead of a runway!

England have performed to where they were always likely to go out.

Nominally the second best team in the world, but lost to India at home in the summer and the last SA series too.

I’d have had SA as marginal favourites going into the game today, but Wolvaart’s knock was brutal and killed our chances.

It's more than that.

Their bowling attack is much better than Englands.

The difference between our two sides is when one of their best cunts is out of the ashes they seem to find a **** who just as good to make his debut and becomes player of the series.

Yep, our best batters are old too. Transition time.

Maybe just maybe Kate Cross was right.. but instead she was sent packing.

This winter will be messy. Will we win one test down under?

Time for Josephine Root?

Our batting is better than the Aussies. I think we will win 2-1

Have you been on the sauce?

You’d get good odds on that. England don’t draw many games, so losing two to the weather seems unlikely.

That’s before assessing that they have decent bowlers and we don’t have enough that can stay fit.
