Dodgyknees Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 If we had scored at least 150 in the first innings, we'd have won this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I'd have been tempted to get Leach in before Broad as he has more stickability to stay out there with Stokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As good as Stokes has been in this innings his dismissal in the 1st innings was stupid. All of them have been pretty poor. I don't care how good the Aussie attack is, you'd back a county to hit more than bloody 67. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Aussies are no great shakes, as we've got fairly close to nicking this despite playing suicidal cricket. A bit more composure and we'd have challenged for the Ashes this summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milfner Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 That awful 15-20 over period in the first innings where Labuschagne and Warner piled on that 100 run partnership is the difference in this test if we’re honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
