It was a good short ball, but it basically hit the bat handle at shoulder height Just get the bat and hands out the way, didnt need to try and play it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted July 1, 2023 Author Share Posted July 1, 2023 Well at least you can say three of the four wickets were absolute beauties instead of the trash in the first innings. I hope we never play Australia at Lord’s ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 We neglect red ball cricket in this country for ECB vanity projects like the Hundred, that no other country is interested in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted July 1, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 1, 2023 Maybe if English Cricket wasn't so institutionally biased in pretty much every avenue there is to be biased, we might unearth some better players. With a population of more than twice theirs there is just no excuse to be perpetually dominated by them with the occasional reverse here and there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, its just being Root im so used to him just getting out the way - he's one of the greatest test batters and knows how to stick it out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 For me the biggest difference between the two sides is the quality of the bowling attacks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avfc96 Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Must be multiple changes for Headingly, firstly Foakes has to come in. I'd go as far to say Anderson is finished and Robinson isn't offering much at all bowling 78/9 mph. We also need to play a spinner, even if it is Ahmed with his lack of first class experience. Please no more Moeen, he was past his best 3 years ago and has a horrific record against the Aussies. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chappy Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 It’ll never happen but I’d not bother with a Lord’s test in the Ashes. Big elitism problem In cricket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair they haven't beaten us over here in 21 years whereas we've won over there since then. While the population is a lot smaller, cricket is played a bigger variety of class of people as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
