4th Ashes Test England v Australia July 19-23 1930hrs @ Old Trafford

[Westend]

I know it's very bad atm lads....but all these runs from the poms means nothing if we can get away with a draw

I just think this has been stupid by the poms...I would of declared just before lunch we would be at least 3 down by now

instead we can bat out a session today reassess tomorrow when the rains come

 

[Hawks_4478]

Why would you bowl a bouncer when you know he’s going to run for the bye???!!!

 

[CakeEater]

Mate do all of these blokes share a brain cell

 

[nobbyiscool]

****in mankad him, it would be the least embarrassing thing we've done today.

 

[Filthy Sanchez]

Gotta respect the poetic revenge of Bairstow running these singles and Carey ****ing up every throw at the stumps.

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Some of you are having full-blown meltdowns lol

Place is unreadable rw. The longer England bat the better

I wouldn’t mind if they batted forever if they were dot balls!

 

[Southerntakeover]

Complete team humiliation going on here.

Like 11 people on the field pissed themselves all at once.

They're just running on your throw, and you can't hit the stumps. My god. You're ****ing professionals.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Why are we bowling constant bouncers to Anderson?

Nick him off. Stack the cordon, pitch it up. He's a walking wicket

 

[The King!]

They may bat until Anderson gets his ton

 

[rumply]

Based in South West UK and the weather here for Sunday is clear now - originally forecasted for pissing rain.

Woops!

 

[illegaleagle]

55 overs remaining today.

Plenty of time to bowl us out watch us flop to 3-30

 

[Munga]

We are not a smart team

 

[nylexbandit]

This keeping us just another example of brain dead ****ing play

 

[Bedi]

This was always a 500 test wicket, and here England are making 600 while we made 300

 

[dopefish]

Surely Stokes will declare as soon as Blahstow gets his ton so we may as well get the wicket now and deny the campaigner.

be ideal if they could score a mite less. or slower.

Only if the rain comes..

 

[11kgm]

Carey must have been drinking his own bathwater

 

[chriso11]

We should go a step further than dropping Cummins and stripping him of the captaincy

He should be stripped of his citizenship and subjected to being filmed on an episode of Border Security

Anal cavity search on live tv while you’re at it

 

[grumbleguts]

Geeze I hope we are nine down when this match is called off. The hubris...

 

[Westend]

carey is stupid one glove off you stupid knob

 

[Magma]

and we throw the wrong end cos of course we ****ing do. dumb pricks

 

[ams4crows]

55 overs remaining today.

We'll be 4 down no doubt


How did they **** up that run out??

 

[Richard Cranium]

"The data clearly shows that lower order averages against the short ball are lower than they are against standard line and length bowling. We should bounce them constantly."
"But have you factored in that when it's used as a surprise to the batsman it's more likely to catch them off guard and hence lead to more wickets, and loses its impact if you bowl 5 of them an over? That maybe it's an endogenous variable in your data set?"
"...."
"Well?"
"The data clearly shows that lower order averages against the short ball are lower than they are against standard line and length bowling. We should bounce them constantly."

 

[Visions]

Just wait for our batting. Pitch will be an instant minefield, heaps of swing on offer

Nah, it will still be a road.

It will be the Aussies with stupid shots that will get themselves out cheaply.
