2019 1st Ashes Test - Edgbaston 1-5 August 2019

[Belnakor]

Think he’s getting tired. Been out on the field basically all match now.

Smiths running between wickets is weird he walks half his runs.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Probably has better control but that's about it.

Can’t bat any worse so maybe that’s the way they go.

I can't for the life of me understand why these pommy shit campaigners haven't taken the new cherry yet.

The **** is Root doing to think that Ali and himself serving up rubbish is a better option?

 

[FRUMPY]

persisting with spin is one thing, but why persist with Ali

Given up and resting broad and woakes for future tests?

So have England given up?

Smith is the best, fu** the stats.

Tendulkar is THE BEST .. the era he played against the BEST TEAM in the World super quick bowlers best swing bowlers best spin bowlers in cricket ..compared to what we have nowadays ?

 

[swanssince2002]

Gee persisting with Ali is like a coach/selector backing in {insert bottom 6 spud here on an AFL team}. Root wants Ali to succeed at all costs.

 

[ForeverHardcore]

It’s Steve Smith’s world and we’re just living in it

Also a huge turn it up to the poxy camera operators in England

 

[Bring back Drum]

Smith been practicing his leggies? Might have a role to play.

 

[VirgilHilts]

Sounds like the logic we used when we picked Doherty against Pietersen

Sort of. Leach is a good spinner though.

 

[Bedi]

how good is this

They are trying to slow the scoring down / jag a wicket prior to the new ball.

 

[ams4crows]

Can't believe they haven't taken the new ball, runs are flowing thick and fast

 

[The King!]

the shot of bairstows nutsack are a bit much

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Smith took one look at that and said nope to running.

 

[Woody15]

How casual was that?

 

[Joffaboy]

Poms giving up the will to live

 

[THE D]

Bairstow is breathtakingly shit

 

[corbies]

Spend 50 overs asking for the ball to be changed.

Get opportunity to get a new ball, no questions asked.

Keep old, out of shape, shit ball.

Makes sense.

 

[Wolfs]

Have you noticed the player numbers on the front of their shirts, the number they were selected? England have picked over 700 players to play for them and Australia only into the 400's. We pick a lot more consistently.

They played a lot more matches, and played series at the same time in SA or NZ, and Windies.

Also they played against most teams first like Windies, NZ, India, Pakistan, SA, Australia, Sri Lanka, and Ireland.

 

[The King!]

root sick of fielding, so **** the new ball lads, im bowling

 

[sirlothie]

That would upset you, a nudge between keeper and first slip, split them perfectly.

Not first slip, whatever it is.

 

[k31th]

How casual was that?

Steve Smith levels of casual disdain

 

[Cmarsh]

I'm guessing there's some silly pun with Root's name and shirt number?

Be better if it was 69.

Desperate poo root
