The worst thing is you know England's wickets will tumble when they get in. It's a shame as it's just not a contest, which makes it boring.

art malice 16-12-2021 11:11 AM

We've probably got three analysts currently weighing up whether Australia will enforce the follow-on.

Indeed. Remember what Johnson did to you guys here on a supposedly ideal batting track with raw pace?

You've literally picked a bowling attack for the evening sessions.

That was an absolute dolly at test level. So so bad.


He won’t be dropped though as he’s Joe boys best mate.

He’s Joe Root’s good mate off the field, as simple as that.

It’s why Root shouldn’t be captain. Fantastic batsman, awful captain.

It's always a batters paradise in the first 3 days. Hence the reason you need a good spinner for day 4 or 5. Days 1,2&3 the spinner needs to hold down an end, get through the overs and give the quicks a breather. As well as be economical with an occasional wicket.

Bones14 16-12-2021 12:50 PM

Be a great team if you had Stokes, Woakes and Foakes along with Peter Willey and Graham Dilley (RIP).

You can't change a team part way through a Test. But he can be called up for the next Test surely.

Wake up to see Woakes still can’t but a wicket in Oz. Who knew? Not the analysts.

0.bj 17-12-2021 08:51 AM

Head gets a very thick edge that somehow doesn’t carry. Are we to assume they’re stood forty yards back because it might give Buttler a better chance to soft pouch a spooner?

It’s pretty awful again. We’re poking some fun at the analysts here but there are serious questions to answer about how much simple stuff they are getting so very wrong.

GB2506 17-12-2021 09:04 AM

It’s day 2 of just the 2nd test and England have so far created 13 nicks this series, only 3 have resulted in wickets. Dropped 7 catches so far.

That is absolutely woeful

0.bj 17-12-2021 09:10 AM

6 over throws in two overs. Might as well give Buttler a bowl just in case the Aussies missed us waving the white flag.

GB2506 17-12-2021 09:12 AM

We look defeated. Body language is really bad.

Buttler is just sulking and hasn’t said a word for 30 overs.

We seem to have a collective sulk when the sandpaper enthusiast gets more than ten runs. Lurpackface obviously has a fantastic average but do other teams simply give up against him and completely unravel in the same way we do?

We’re preparing for another decade of it giving up with his mini-me as well by the looks of it.

RazorsEdge 17-12-2021 09:38 AM

Aki Aki Aki 17-12-2021 09:39 AM

I said before we should never have toured Aus given how average we are at the moment. It's a tough challenge at the best of times, we should have used covid as an excuse when we had the chance :D . Can't see anything other than a series drubbing. Wrong squad, wrong team selection, wrong captain, wrong coach, just not good enough, it's pathetic.

Without Jofra Archer, Mark Wood and Ollie Stone England are always going to struggle to bowl any side out for under 350 on hard flat wickets

The bowlers are all very similar right arm fast-medium, without a genuine front line spinner Root can change the bowler but not the bowling

0.bj 17-12-2021 10:42 AM

Probably not appreciated Down Under but we have to endure oodles of utter bollocks from the mouth of Root about plans, horses-for-courses, specialisms and all sorts of other crap he learned in business studies… and then watch as a bloke whom historically struggles to bowl on Aussie pitches is picked twice in succession, and above 1100 wickets in the bank.

This specific post is aimed at Woakes but it’s merely highlighting the gaslighting of the English cricketing public by the ECB, the idiot Silverwood and our worst captain since the summer of 800 captains.

It's all well and good slagging off Root but who would you have as captain? Stokes is probably the only other player who is guaranteed a place. Captaincy depends a lot of the players at your disposal. In terms of batting we are shambolic and the fact that he performs so well under so much pressure is a credit to just how good a player he is - can't imagine how many runs he'd score if he was in a team with 3 or 4 other players of equal calibre. In terms of bowling he's lost Archer and Stone and Wood can barely string 2 matches together. Perhaps a more pertinent question is why we have only produced 2 world class spinners (Underwood and Swann) in about 50 years?

We've not taken our chances. Australia have earned the right.

I don't think we've bowled badly until the last hour or so, but we've not taken our chances and keep getting selection wrong.

I didn't say that but there are plenty of players who weren't great captains who have an excellent records due to the players at their disposal. If you are in a bit of trouble and can chuck the ball to McGrath and Warne or Ambrose and Walsh it makes life a bit less complicated.
