Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - LP - 07-09-2023
Cricket politics is truly toxic, listening to Taylor hang it on Boland as being too expensive and not taking enough wickets, at the time he had 10-0/49, but 21 of those runs come from outside or inside edges, four of them boundaries.
Taylor is all about getting his preferred back in the squad, probably Hazelwood, I usually like Taylor especially when he talks tactics, but I can't take him seriously at times.
In the meantime Cummins starts bowling short rubbish again, edges go to the boundary or fall into free space and Taylor states he is been unlucky.

A game we should have won. They better learn from their mistakes. My feeling is England will win the next game. They have the hope. They have confidence. They feel the next win coming. Our upper order is soft, and weak. Bowling today wasn’t exceptional. Field placement wasn’t great. Nothing was an indicator Australia would win. Poms did it easy in the end. Thank god Stokes didn’t get the final run. Wake up and work better. I like the English aggressive style to run chasing. I might back them in the next test.

The GOAT would have been handy but just not enough runs to defend.
Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - rocky - 07-09-2023
There has never been an English team to come back from 2 - 0 deficit to win the ashes. I'm guessing this is where we're headed. :'(

We got lucky Englands fielding has been substandard and they have dropped a lot of catches and that's been the difference but eventually they started hanging onto a few and the result went their way accordingly.
I'd drop Warner and open with Head but the boys club want to look after their mate and he will keep his place.

Re: Boland....suffers with Bazball as they are looking for an easier paced bowler to hit and all bat out of their crease and treat him like a medium pacer. Also bowling bouncers every ball isn't his go, he builds pressure with accuracy and is looking to nick players off rather than have them caught on the boundary.
England producing flat one day tracks hasnt helped him either and Hazelwood will probably take his spot.
