amazing preformance.

We've got such a strong attack. Imagine having Mitchell Starc Carrying the drinks, Hazlewood cant crack it either. and we have some damn good bowlers behind these blokes.

Was against Siddle coming in but jesus christ he played a fantastic knock with the bat to really help Smith make a respectable tally. Might of not got wickets the second innings but he did nothing wrong, Thought he was washed up. Eating my ****ing words.


Our top order is still shakey but having the best cricketer in the world at the 4 it masks plenty of our issues. Wade was sgreat as well. I've slung shit at him, will continue to do so, But a great knock and he went on with it as well to put us in a strong position.

No matter what they prepare for Lords, they're just as likely to cook themselves. If it's a greentop, no Anderson and a more fragile top 6 than ours facing Cummins, Pattinson, Siddle/Starc and Lyon has the potential to be disastrous.

Plus as much as they secretly want to, I don't think they'd be able to poach Smith mid-series.
 
Don't think they want a dry pitch. That will suit us like the ones at home. A highway where they bat first and get a score then our bats crumble under the pressure of it is about the only hope and again it will be tough work as it will take them forever to make anything against our bowling lineup and they won't get Smith out.

They almost have to gamble on a greentop. Now their batting is just as bad but it’s their only hope- make it a low scoring affair. Flat pitch and then Smith, Warner, etc become extreme hard to dismiss. A rank turner and Lyon will roll them.
 
Amazing win. England had their problems with Anderson going down and Woakes minimised but it was still a huge effort to get up off the mat at 8/120.

The only troubling part is, after we sack Langer and drop Wade and Paine, will we be able to back up at Lords.?

You joke about that but his mum is an English citizen and he went over at 18 to play club cricket over there and they did try to get him to get his British passport so he could play county cricket as a local player and be eligible to represent England if his form warranted it
 
ODIs and T20s are a bit of fun but test cricket is the real game. The other forms really fall short
Mate even the World Cup pales into insignificance in comparison to the Ashes. If the Poms lose this series, the euphoria of winning the World Cup will be somewhat diluted.

And the selectors don’t forget!!
 
They are miserable prats that's why, They are basically football hooligans who pretend to watch and understand cricket.
Maybe they should be booing Mooen Ali for impersonating a Test cricketer 😀.
