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

[LukeParkerno1]

Is this team braindead fair dinkum

 

[Andronicus]

Perfect time for a no ball.

 

[freo_leo29]

Head ffs

 

[candyapple]

ffs going to bed angry again

 

[k31th]

I swear the Aussie team needs therapy assistance to re-establish concentration levels after a break...

 

[ep2018]

England will bat all through sunshine tomorrow, the toss will be talked about in the wash up. Never known a side to win four tosses in a row.

 

[Embley]

**** me

 

[freo_leo29]

Save us WA

 

[Andronicus]

600 wickets in his 600th test.

 

[HK_Hawk]

I can't believe I just turned this trash on to watch Head hook down the throat of a fielder and to see Warner failed yet again (though surprisingly, wasn't Broad this time). How is our top order so dysfunctional crap this series?

 

[10Dulkar]

The danger of packing the batting is players start leaving it to the rest down the order. Need to be ruthless and go on when you get a start.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Soft dismissals for all

 

[Manbearpig77]

Another absolute nothing dismissal.

 

[Mr Meow]

Giving catching practice to an England fielder after making a good start? Couldn't be an Australian batter.

 

[Kappa]

Pressure for Green, he's been poor. Needs a score here

 

[Scorpus]

It's no wonder we decided to stack the batting line up.

Our batsman are brain dead, so we need a heap of them for a reasonable score

 

[Bedi]

Soft dismissals for all

yep across the board

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

5 for less than 200 in bright sunshine on a good wicket is inexcusable.

We really don't want to win a series in England.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

32, 51, 41 and 48.

One or two just have to go on with those starts. It’s been the tale of both teams all series but man we’ve blown some opportunities in the past couple of innings in particular.

 

[ams4crows]

What's with all these starts but no one can get past 50?? Shooting ourselves in the foot at every turn

 

[CrowBloke]

... and Travis chops off his own Head with suicidal recklessness.
Un-flipping-believable.

WHAT IS IT with Australian batsmen who are set, giving away their wickets like that .

Labuschagne, then Head.

If Australia get done from being 2-0 up, it'll be from a lack of application and patience.

 

[Southerntakeover]

This team is just so ****ing frustrating. Just stupid stupid shit all game long.

The fact that we haven't gotten swept is a minor ****ing miracle.

 

[Torz]

Just want Green to believe in himself at this level and not poke and prod. Take a note out of Marsh’s book and play your shots, like you do at Shield level.

 

[Manbearpig77]

How do we just keep throwing away our commanding positions?

Brain dead stuff.

 

[Mr Meow]

England aren't beating us; we're beating ourselves. I guess that's a small consolation. We'll probably still find our way past 300 but the chance to be on top after the first innings is slipping through soft dismissal after soft dismissal.

We still need a big individual score to climb out of this hole.
