Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[ElwoodBlues1]

I watched till after lunch, didn't think we bowled well, but apart from Root they didn't bat very well either. If Gary Ballance is #3 we don't have too much to worry about.

Reckon we will post a big score and skittle the poms in the 2nd innings.

Thought Stokes and Ali threw the blade ok as well as Root who batted brilliantly IMO....all the talk of 5-0 has made us a bit soft in approach IMO, we lacked venom and hunger
and looked like we thought it was just a case of rocking up and the Poms would surrender.
Seen Glaciers move faster than Watto in the field and the sooner M. Marsh is in the team the better...

If Root can make it look easy so can our batters ie Warner , Smith etc although runs on the board like England have does always create pressure.....we can still win the game and while
England have their nose in front it was more of a case us of us playing poorly than them being anything special..Root aside.....maybe Warner can keep his mouth shut next time as Root looked like he had a point to prove.
re: Gary Ballance.....another English boring barnacle with no shots apart from the outside edge through slips...reckon the English supporters would have been glad he got out as well...
