English cricket 2015 - NZ, The Ashes, Pak and SA

Wtf was Clarke doing there - I'd be well pissed if I was an Australian. He's the captain and they're in an uphill battle and he chased one.
 
Is this the quickest time a side has been so many wickets down to start a Test match?
 
You can't even blame the pitch for most of these wickets. Australian attack has been appalling.

England love to do it quick.
 
Don't see anything wrong with the pitch. It's the movement in the air that's the problem (that and crap batting).
 
The Ozzies batting has been a joke. But England have bowled well. Still, can see the Ozzie tail wagging a bit.
 
this is insane.. is it really shite batting or a really bad pitch.

Shit batting :lol::lol: 47/9

Play late and soft hands with the swinging ball, you should be rewarded with a 25 over ball when the ball will stop moving so much like we saw at edgbaston

Perfect storm of shite batting, great bowling, overcast conditions, shaky pitch and a heap of pressure on the batsmen.

All without our best bowler. Aussies making us look like the Windies 80's bowling attack on steroids.
 
Disgraceful from England letting them get to 50...:P

  • First Class wickets are flat in Aus
  • Nobody knows how to play swing and seam
  • No aussie country cricketers
  • Attack at all times mentality
  • Lack of application when batting.
And it leads to this. We are great at home but shit everywhere else, We have turned into india.

True :nervous:
 
This is incredible!! If I were Australia I'd promote 'extras' up the order. Top scorer so far!

I'd add lack of stomach for the fight which is apparent away from Australia.

All modern day batsmen struggle on pitches that offer the slightest of movement. They're all used to getting scores on featherbed. Imagine them playing in the 70s and 80s.
 
The pitch really hasn't done that much, looks like a 350-ish pitch to me. It's not even swinging that much.
