Bet if it was a pie he wouldn’t drop it
Woah there DuckYeah
People depend on him purchasing their products to pay their mortgages…

Ashes series don’t need no gimmick to bring through the gate.
Strokes to infer he’s doing this to make test cricket exciting again .

Well Australia does play attacking test cricket, has for as long as I can remember.

I’d rather Strokes state arrogance cost us the match .
Some of the run rate stats show that Australia went at similar run rates during dominant periods. And still won.

We were scoring at over 4 runs an over 1994-2007
But we had the players to do it
Robinson and Bairstow aren’t exactly McGrath and Gilchrist
 
Poms best chance was to beat us in English conditions but they saw fit to produce an Adelaide oval pitch
Our batters are susceptible to a moving ball
gotta imagine the next 4 pitches will be barely detectable compared to the square to rectify this. maybe not all 4, but at least a couple of them

So are theirs - most of them are probably still in therapy after facing up to Boland at the MCG. I'd back our quicks every day of the week on a seaming deck.

Although flat wickets probably won't help the Poms in the long run either as Broad, Anderson, Stokes and Ali are no longer capable of bowling for long spells. This will only become more apparent as the series progresses.
 
What I can't get over is the accolades from commentators regarding the English batting and fielding. There was not one shot played that wasn't brilliant other than those where a wicket fell, and every single fielding effort bar the two that were knocked on to the boundary was magnificent, supurb, outstanding or sinply wonderful, including those that an under 10 would have gathered in.

Oh... And Ollie, GAGF.
