Cricket 2019

[Corky]

Can't we just give him 140 and spare us having to watch him bat? At least we can't drop him, catch him off no-balls and watch him play and miss at great deliveries whilst waving his bat at stupid angles.

[Md9]

think Smith was just bored of being so good and couldn’t be arsed any more 

[Kopic]

I enjoy watching Smith play defensive pulls and defending balls over his head. I find it so bizarre that he is this good.

 

Edit - nevermind.

Joe Root. Fantastic cricketer. Really suspect captain.

Reactive captain who doesn’t force the game or play to a plan. I’d like to see someone a bit more proactive.

[yorkie1999]

Blimey. Absolutely useless, we may as well let leach open the batting.

[Md9]

Well that started well 

[Osavo]

Bollocks

[Md9]

Wow bye root 🙈

[Manini]

This series is brown bread 

[yorkie1999]

This game will be over tonight. Absolutely useless.

[PAULCFC]

It was but why the hell are we sending Root out to face that at 18.35 with Roy being protected at 4.

 

0/2 with Denly and Roy at the crease ffs

[Stinkenzo]

Even when Roy doesn't open, he finds himself opening

[ScouseFox]

nicely done. just block the ball and stay in as long as possible. 2 wickets in the first over. decent.

Easy to say with hindsight but Leach has a pretty decent defence and he’s opened as night watchman before. If he’s out early so be it but to put 2 of our 3 best batsman out to face a decent attack on a wearing pitch in the dark is suicidal

[deejdeej]

Roy and Denly did well there, can't have been easy on the nerves especially after that Root wicket.

[Finnegan]

So basically. 

 

Stokes and Bairstow again or bust. Pattern here

The entire selection process and captaincy is completely and utterly ****ing mental.

 

Absolutely outrageous that that could happen in village cricket let alone the ****ing Ashes.

 

Worked their arses off for 4 sessions to give themselves a chance to get something, threw it all away after tea tonight.

[StanSP]

Oh England. 

[Goober]

Roy double ton by tea. 2-1 up here we come

He's been pretty good in comparison to the others.

 

Thought he played well today - certainly got a spot at the top of the order for the forseeable future. 

 

That duck is your fault.

I can only hope you're right....

 

But more likely all out by lunch?

 

[HighPeakFox]

Suggest they make Burns captain.
