Need a bouncer attack on these two
English cricket thread
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Kinda why you take it earlier and have more runs to play with.
Aussies are gonna take this
Under 20 now. This is good batting
fecked it
You got to hand it to Cummins, he is a brilliant cricketer and I suspect the IPL run chases he has been involved in has really helped him here.
Because it's working so well now?
Wow did not see this coming from the Aussies
Bounce them.
Such a defensive field..
We’re going to lose this at the death 
The pitch is lifeless the new ball has done nothing at all no seam or swing it's just kinda there
Why is Anderson not bowling? Is he injured?
He’s had very little impact in this match to be fair
We need wood in times like this 90 mph against the tail
Can't wait for the coulda, woulda, shoulda after this if we lose, think I'll leave this thread until the next test, the misery of this forum has unfortunately infested this thread too.
Honestly if England lose, I don't think there's any point being overly critical on them. Even Stoke's early declaration seems like it was a good idea now.
These 2 look comfortable.. Unless they panic and play stupid shots, they should easily get the runs. Very defensive field placement.
Declaration looking worse and worse here...
That won't stop them, but I agree with you. Edit: ^^^
What, you wanted England to have even less time to bowl them out?
Fantastic batting
Cummins is seriously good. Was worried about him coming in as you just know he’ll always step up when needed.
The caf special
That's life mate, people have a difference of opinion on decisions.
anyone else thinking that those few runs on day one might have been crucial now?
Because Broad and Robinson have been better IMO, so feel more likely to get the breakthrough.
This is the best test side in the world btw and we've taken them to the wire, whatever happens there's so much to be happy about.
A long series to come and we're well in it.
A long series to come and we're well in it.
Shot again from Lyon! Down to 7...
Any chance of an Aussie declaration?
That shot
So bizarre to pick that shot. Such a difficult shot. Four huge runsThat shot
England went too defensive with Aus still needing 30..
A draw would be preferable to a loss, yes.
Even another couple of overs of letting Root go for it, could have been massive.
I’m not sure England could have done much differently in the last hour or so. Australia have just batted really well.
Do not get them not changing the bowler.
Aside from a some major concentration errors more than anything from England, I have massively enjoyed this test, even with the loss
You would have thought Anderson was worth an over or two no matter how he's bowled.
Everyone do a rain dance
