bannedfromHandV Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 The encouraging thing is that unless Smith and/or Labuchagne fire their batting order isn’t much better than ours, and I fancy Woakes and Robinson to bowl well tomorrow, all is not lost yet but if they reach 100-1 or better then yeah, game over.

I wouldn’t sleep on Green or Carey lower down the order, at the very start of their careers but much better bats than the players they displaced IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Nice to see a bit of rain though. The lack of it in Australia is why we find it tough to avoid 5-0s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I'll know not to waste any time staying up or getting up early to follow this atrocity. Years of neglecting four day cricket in England is reaping what we sowed. ECB more interested in clown cricket like the Hundred. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted December 8, 2021 Moderator Share Posted December 8, 2021 Just putting this out there as a measure of my confidence, but if Australia pass our first innings total without losing a wicket, I think we should just leave. Just walk off, pack up and come home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Cracking player but I’m throwing it out there, I hate Labuschagne. Got one of those incredibly punchable faces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 You just know this isn’t going to be our series. Wicket first ball yesterday and the subsequent collapse, Stokes takes a wicket today off a no ball, edges dropping short when yesterday they were flying through.

chappy Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Bowling well this morning but nothing going our way! Stokes no ball wicket of Warner was his 4th ball. The first three were all also no balls but not called… obviously it’s the bowler’s fault but help him out please umpire. I thought the 3rd umpire was meant to check every ball now?
