Bobby Hundreds Posted 29 July 2015 Posted 29 July 2015 Probably the best day's cricket I've been at since the Sunday at Trent Bridge in 2005. Jimmy Anderson is absolute money. Once we break through the Rogers-Smith axis this Australian batting side is dog turd.
Captain... Posted 30 July 2015 Posted 30 July 2015 Absolutely brutal deliveries from Johnson there, still enough batting to get a lead of 100+, just don't let Johnson rip through us...
The Year Of The Fox Posted 30 July 2015 Posted 30 July 2015 Going Saturday and Sunday, will buy you a beer if I see you. likewise. Don't think we'll be going though now
leicsmac Posted 30 July 2015 Posted 30 July 2015 On a slightly different note, here's a fascinating article on the England cricket establishment and the clique it seems to operate. http://blogs.spectator.co.uk/coffeehouse/2015/07/join-the-revolution-to-save-cricket/
Captain... Posted 30 July 2015 Posted 30 July 2015 This is where I used to think Buttler would be able to come in and take the game away from teams, but he has been very tentative and cautious this summer. It doesn't help that we lost 2 quick wickets, but he came in with the ball 40 overs old, already got a first innings lead, partner in good form and scoring freely and he just goes on the defensive. He is such an explosive batsman, so I don't understand why he has goes so far into his shell in the tests.
Swarles Barkley Posted 30 July 2015 Posted 30 July 2015 lyon again. good job he hasnt bowled for more than over at a time, would be all out by now! not even out. dont quite know why we didnt review it. had 2 left and only the tail to come. brainless
Captain... Posted 30 July 2015 Posted 30 July 2015 Fvcks sake, you get a massive let off on a poor defensive shot, so you repeat the trick next ball and get out. Why didn't you review it you fvcking idiot!!! 2 reviews, no batsman left just fvcking review it. I was looking forward to today, but now I'm just pissed off!
Bobby Hundreds Posted 30 July 2015 Posted 30 July 2015 Buttler needs to get his head out of the clouds.
leicsmac Posted 30 July 2015 Posted 30 July 2015 If anything Buttler is too reticent when playing Tests, seems to go into his shell too much and not play his natural game when he would be better off just playing the way he knows how, especially given the situation here.
AKCJ Posted 30 July 2015 Posted 30 July 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWNYRLls6H4 lol When I read that in the paper I cringed but that's actually spot on.
TheSomersetFox Posted 30 July 2015 Posted 30 July 2015 never seen someone play and miss/score as many streaky runs as Moeen
TheSomersetFox Posted 30 July 2015 Posted 30 July 2015 we're gonna miss Johnson so much when he's gone brilliant entertainment
Captain... Posted 30 July 2015 Posted 30 July 2015 Moeen needs to come in before Buttler in the batting Buttler needs to go out and bat like it's a one dayer. The situation was perfect for some good aggressive stroke play and he got himself in all kinds of trouble playing weak defensive shots. In an ODI or T20 he would have been smashing Lyon around the ground.
Swarles Barkley Posted 30 July 2015 Posted 30 July 2015 bloody love moeen. can look like a no.11 batsmen for 5 deliveries and play a gorgeous shot for 4 off the last. best thing is australians will be watching this and wondering how he he is still there
Hirsty The Blue 94 Posted 30 July 2015 Posted 30 July 2015 Brilliant battling by this pair, potentially a match winning partnership.
Captain... Posted 30 July 2015 Posted 30 July 2015 Good to see Broad back in the runs and looking to play positive, it's a real asset to have someone come in at 9 with his ability with the bat. Can't knock a 140 lead, lets see how many more we can add.
Grandad. Posted 30 July 2015 Posted 30 July 2015 Crazy Test match, but thoroughly entertaining for saying there's not been a great deal of runs. Love to get Smith soon here! Hopefully Broady can make him Test wicket number 300.
Grandad. Posted 30 July 2015 Posted 30 July 2015 Get in there Finny lad! Absolutely hate Steve Smith!
Super_horns Posted 30 July 2015 Posted 30 July 2015 Finn really turning on the style! Be over by the end of today...
