StanSP Posted 23 August 2019 Author Posted 23 August 2019 Root getting successive ducks for first time in his career. Wilson making errors again...
Izzy Posted 23 August 2019 Posted 23 August 2019 Just now, Bobby Hundreds said: Poor Jofra wanted to put his feet up today too. Pretty sad though when we're relying on a 20 year old debutante to save our ass

Unless Root or Stokes go big we aren't getting 400 against this Australian attack. As for Roy, ridiculous. What is he doing opening after the first two matches?
Izzy Posted 23 August 2019 Posted 23 August 2019 David Warner jumping about in the slips like an excited teenager who's about to chuck his muck. Knob end
surrifox Posted 23 August 2019 Posted 23 August 2019 This is really winding me up. Root might as well open since with Roy in the side that’s what he’s doing . Openers are there to take the shine off and get the bowlers working hard so what’s the point of picking Roy in anything other than 20/20 or 50 over cricket since he has a mindset to try to flay the cover off every ball he receives and is out inside the first 4 overs of the innings
Finnegan Posted 23 August 2019 Posted 23 August 2019 In all fairness, every major pundit predicted this before the series. They all said ball would beat bat and games would be fairly low scoring. In isolation, you can be upset at your openers but theirs are doing exactly the same. It's not like Warner is a terrible batsmen, he's failed in all but one innings so far.
fuchsntf Posted 23 August 2019 Posted 23 August 2019 Well, we bowled they missed all day. They bowl,WE Nick off....Early everytime!! Roy ,Root. Minds are scrambled....!!! They havent learnt,soft hands...Fishing ,leave,leave,and leave again!! First 3 batsmen should wait,for the ball!! In fact there are so many things wrong technically ..its become boring!!

We have four days of the test left and you couldn't ask for better batting conditions today. There's no need to play a shot like that. Just play the straighter balls and leave the rest at this stage.

Guest MattP Posted 23 August 2019 Posted 23 August 2019 This is painful, Denly played and missed at five balls then in one over
yorkie1999 Posted 23 August 2019 Posted 23 August 2019 Not good not good. At this rate they'll be making us bat again!

RowlattsFox Posted 23 August 2019 Posted 23 August 2019 Its good bowling to be fair, no freebies and always threatening the edge. Then when you get a wide one like Roy got you feel you after go for it, especially when you've got no patience. Root is just out of form, and you seem to nick good balls when you're in that form. Another day he misses it then goes on to get a hundred. He is a good player but shouldn't be facing the new ball after 2 overs every time. Even the best players struggle in England. We need to find someone in county cricket to open who can just bat time. It doesn't matter if he doesn't score huge runs, or whether he has an average of 40 plus. They just need to be able to defend and leave. Azad?
Leicester_Loyal Posted 23 August 2019 Posted 23 August 2019 3 down. Bairstow and Stokes to save the day.
RonnieTodger Posted 23 August 2019 Posted 23 August 2019 It'd be great for Stokes to come out with no pressure on him for once

Its a Good point,so now we must need to see 2 Maybe 3 of our earlier batsman,must be getting 30- 40+..Before We even Dream of 50-100+!! I do believe however,that Aussie bowlers for years, often Play discipline line and length 20 from 24 balls.No gimme's!! Long Periode bowled,where none or only 1-2 boundaries are scored. Not only yesterday,but over years,even Anderson,Broad will offer up easy Scoring opportunities,over 2-3 overs,often 1-2 an over. And again Burns ,soft dismisal!!! Ffs. 20-3, we should of had that yesterday..!!
yorkie1999 Posted 23 August 2019 Posted 23 August 2019 Could be all out for 50, 130 runs behind and they only made 179. What a friggin joke.
Bobby Hundreds Posted 23 August 2019 Posted 23 August 2019 The best two batters of the series will be batting together next test too. I think it's gone lads.
