God help me - the Test Cricket thread

[ElwoodBlues1]

Absolute rubbish cricket from England, its not even a contest. Just watched Butler give his wicket away, he can't be bothered with playing test cricket anymore given the money he makes in the short formats.
This test should be over on the 4th day...

Rinse and repeat with this mob.  Cringeworthy.

Interesting end to day 2.    8)

What are the odds a couple of the Poms come down with COVID overnight?

If they do it's proof they are soft as ............. !

Stokes was sailing very close to being timed out.  Incredulous not have the next man padded up as soon as the preceding player was heading out to the wicket.  That would have been the final insult to England ... never happened before in Tests.  Shamozzle

Cap, Yep it's got comical, hard to think of a more Comprehensive beating.
Hard to drop Boland if Hazlewood is fit compare that to England where you would drop about eight..

By labelling Boland "The MCG Specialist", did the CA mafia set him up to be dropped regardless of the match result and personal form?

On the upside, if they drop Boland and lose, it's hammer time for the coach and a few of the CA selectors!

I was at the 'G today - as abymsal as the English batting was, the Australian bowling in this Test has been exceptional.  The Poms could have had a third innings and still lost. 

At least I can put a 'tick' against the box "there in  person when Australia wins the Ashes"......

Tonyo, so I can answer a question from my kid, would you mind me asking how much did entry cost and are they refunding it given play was over in an hour?
