VILLAMARV Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Also the surnames in this series could provide some classic commentary moments. Head, Paine, Cummins, Root, Burns The bowler's Cummins the batsman's Buttler etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderPower_14 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I'm not surprised we've struggled. Bancroft at the top was a terrible selection. Joe Burns was so obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Smith technique is so weird, he looks like a guy who is a tail-ender but it works for him and so effective. He could be main reason Aussies stay in this series batting wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith must be in the reckoning for greatest Ashes batsman ever since he plays with a lot of shit teammates Pity he will be tarnished over sandpaper incident 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 That was awful captaincy from Root. I hate Steve Smith I think. It's not as if he is good to watch like Ponting and the rest were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Smith is sensational. Averages north of 60 in tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veloman Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I would really like to know if Anderson's fitness was in doubt before this match; but I guess it will never be revealed. Now then , does any one know what the situation is if Anderson can take no further part in the Test ? Are there circumstances where you can bring in another bowler ? If So , Assuming Archer is not fit , Curran would be my suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Wow what a first day of cricket. I despise the bloke, but Smith is such a great batsman. We always struggle against him. Can’t help but think a fit jimmy rattles through the tailenders. That could be his England career over. Interesting day tomorrow. Hopefully all movement has gone and we can get at least 100 lead 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is a good thing for the Aussies - he's a phenomenal batsman, but a distinctly average captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDuck Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Anderson should have been made to play a full game before classing him as fit for the first test. Predictable breakdown, and now he'll probably miss the series. Should have gone with Stone or Curran and brought Jimmy in for test 2 or 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
