Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - Professer E - 06-16-2023
We slag off the Indians for pitch doctoring but looks like the poms are going to roll out roads for their bazball gameplan... I hope Lyon turns it square later on.
Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - Professer E - 06-16-2023
He might have made a bazillion runs this year but that shot was worse than awful.

Its a lifeless wicket though and going to have bowl tight and hope they get impatient, Bairstow and Ali give them some depth so a good test for Cummins as captain to stay in control of the game.
Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - Professer E - 06-16-2023
Late order batting might come into play EB, we're thin in that area.
Gees it's as soft a batting wicket as I've seen in ages, pretty disappointing.
Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - Professer E - 06-16-2023
Cummins bowled poorly on India and his lines and length are still erratic. He's not bowling well.
Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - Professer E - 06-16-2023
Crawley is certainly not a walker and Erasmus is f****** blind.

Is it safe to say The Ashes series is already over after one day?

I'd be tempted to play a second spinner. Pitch is a disgrace. Best test wickets provide something for everyone, not just slogging.

Lyon got carted everywhere...
I think you need a couple of 150km quicks who can bang it in and force some false shots. England should have played Wood imo...losing the toss hasn't helped either and it's a shame Ashes Cricket had come down to this level that you are playing short format cricket on pitches devoid of grass and resembling something out of India..
