1st Ashes Test Day 3 Cardiff

[chunkylover]

Haddin looked terrible but the blame is with that middle order. Getting the hard runs (1-25) and only Rogers going on with it is terrible. Real amateur pea heart stuff.

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

Well Haddin didn't quite make up for the Root drop, just 100 or so runs in deficit now.

Might struggle to make up the 100 in the next four tests.

God damn it Johnson, thats a very weak dismissal.

Healy: 'The shot was there to play and he played it well'

Someone put his head in a meat grinder.

Jinx

Yeah no shit!

 

[Cleavy]

I guess we can't expect our tail to dig us out of trouble every time. This batting failure is on our batsmen scoring 30s and not going in with the job.

 

[rdhopkins2]

Oh my. This is deplorable.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Forgive if been covered earlier but other than Starc and Hazlewood is entire team 30+?

 

[Slax]

Picked out the fielder beautifully there. Johnson actually looked alright which could be a good sign for his bowling in the 2nd innings

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

This side's problem is middle order batting, no point bringing in a bowling allrounder.

Bowling has been a stinker this match for us.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Here comes Josh Agarwood.

 

[outabounds]

looks like the difference will be roughly Haddins catch

 

[BluesMan]

Deep strife

 

[RookiePick]

we won't chase 200 here. Time to think about the second test.

 

[davoss]

Sorry fellas, got up for a piss and come back to find we lost 2 more wickets

 

[shinboner spiggs]

Get to less than 100 behind please!

 

[Geelong_Bisons_#36]

100 run 10th wicket partnership would be nice

 

[year of the cat]

That's all you need to do Josh. Ballance made 60 odd playing those shots

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Forgive if been covered earlier but other than Starc and Hazlewood is entire team 30+?

Smith, Warner are both under 30.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Not so fussed about Johnson's dismissal, that sort of thing can happen for a low order player. If the top six do their job runs from the lower half are a bonus, not a necessity.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Note trumpeter playing europes Final Countdown

 

[Joffaboy]

lol blaming bowlers when campaigners like Clarke and Voges and their ilk give away their wickets.

Hazlewood and Starc are there to bowl, the others apart from Rogers should hang their frigging heads

 

[Costanza_]

Forgive if been covered earlier but other than Starc and Hazlewood is entire team 30+?

Warner, Smith, Lyon.

 

[sherb]

lol - the ball is hooping everywhere. Top order would have had trouble.

Speaking of top and middle order - get 30's when the balls not swinging is much worse than Haddins dismissal

Haddin cost us dropping a century maker on 0. That's it.

As you say, we are in this predicament totally because of our specialist batsmen yesterday. All of them got starts and then threw their wickets away.

 

[Smeg Head]

It is currently safe to turn on the commentary, Healy is off mic.

This has been a Public Service Announcement

 

[Showbags]

5-0 in reverse???????

Haha maybe too early but i have feeling this is going to get ugly. Heads are going to roll isis style after this series.
