*Official* Fourth Test at Chester-le-Street

[Tangles]

Warner looked like crap tbh. Good nut but that wasn't a real openers defense.

 

[Swingpanzee]

Yee haw.

 

[Spikey]

Fuuuuuuuu Usman got out before I could make a snide comment re

This sort of swining, seaming day is where Khawaja has been at his best for Qld. #ashes

 

[GIMH]

Oh that is just lovely.

Khawaja is not a test batsman.

 

[hazsa19]

Seeing off the new ball doesn't really achieve much if you're not ticking the scoreboard along.

I wouldn't accuse Watson of not getting the scoreboard moving.

Phil Hughes very stiff not to be playing at #3.

 

[Nate]

SAVE US CLARKEH z

Bahahaha Uzi just not Test standard.

 

[Spark]

****ed

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Scaly piscine in giving the opposition no credit shocker

He never does.

Aussies bowled well as a unit yesterday as they have throughout the summer. Yes England could have batted better but they weren't allowed to for the majority of the time and had brainfarts due to pressure.

Safe to say today if Australia get skittled for less than 200 that no credit can be given to the bowlers as it all the bats fault.

Wow, the leave is proving pretty disastrous so far. Broady bowling really well, to be fair his figures don't do him justice so far in this series as he hasn't been that bad. Khawaja average now lower than his age.

 

[benchmark00]

Are you serious? We have 3 left hand bats in our entire 11. Its one of the least we've had in a long time.

 

[ajdude]

Another side-note : Is the Aussie side fielding the most number of left hand bats in a long long time?

Enjoy your season or two at the Bulls Uzzie.

Inclined to agree

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Bahahaha Uzi just not Test standard.

Nor are 2 or 3 more of the top 6 bats in the squad. Good bowling unit and batting is all about Clarke.

 

[Burgey]

Lol Khawaja. Woeful.

 

[Riggins]

the prince would have cut that for four.

 

[GIMH]

Key partnership here. Was hoping to have 3 down at lunch and standing by that for now.

You might want to try reading.

What pressure was there when England were 100odd for 1 or 149 for 2 and runs were coming at a decent pace?

England screwed it up and then didn't have the mental strength to play their own game. Then screwed it up some more.
