4th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester

Steve Smith...the bloke is not the sharpest tool in the shed but the dude has got this batting thing figured out....

Terrible assesment considering he's done this. Cricket fans need to stop pretending as if they know these guys personally.

Burns is ****

I know I know.... I'm just being kind to English fans. Its been a tough and dillusional summer for them.

 

[andruid]

I'm a die hard Aussie fan mate. But I understand your frustration as you approach a winless summer. Tied finals and now on the verge of failing to retain the ashes at home.

regain, not retain [/split hair]

Yes sir! Apologies for that error. I stand corrected.

Considering the next Ashes are in Aus, it will possibly be 6 years before the Poms get a fair shot at the Ashes.

Guys averaged 40 opening against a quality attack, in England, ffs.

Don’t recall any of this ‘technically’ bullshit when Aus advances from the SF in 99.

That's because Cricketweb.net forums did not exist back then. Dont hate the playa hate the game.

Yea so? Lets see him do it consistently and then he shall be considered not bad. Consistency over a period of time in different conditions will prove that. He has been good this series but thats not saying much considering the English batting line up is gloomier than an english summer.

Wrongun, let me make this clear, you aren't welcome here. You add nothing and detract everything. **** off out of here.

 

[Jarquis]

Pretty clear that the major difference between the two attacks is the drop off after the new ball bowlers. It's just really quite visible how much easier batting has become on each occasion once Broad and Archer finish their first new ball spells.

Anderson

Please stick to the Ashes 2019 and any subsequent discussions about the Aussie or English cricket team. I am not interested in coping abuse, please refrain from doing so as its uncalled for.

Anderson

Wont lie, I have missed Anderson in this series. Although I am an Aussie fan, I will give credit where its due...He is a fantastic bowler and competitor and could have perhaps made a difference vs Steve Smith.

Cummins is such a gun.

Australia just need a couple of half decent batsmen in all conditions to be a really good side, with that bowling attack and Steve Smith.

Its very much called for, you're a sad little troll

Oh please, you simply cant handle England failing to win the Ashes. Calling me a troll is an easy cop out. Have an educated discussion instead about every test and every player this Ashes. I have watched every ball. Go take your elitist mentality elsewhere, and what do you mean by 'Youre not welcome here'. You are no one to decide that.

Anyways, I challenge you to a logical discussion regarding this Ashes.

Are you a supporter of this rotation policy? And do you feel like Cummins could get even better. Even Kohli found it difficult to face him and if a world class batsmen does, you know youre on your way to being one of the best. Haze has been excellent too.

Big changes need to be made to the test team............. some are clearly not good enough. Need a miracle tomorrow, can’t see us lasting until 2:00 in all honesty. Bad times for the test team.

You guys have had a good decade. The ECB. Has done well with player development overall so there's hope. Which new batsmen would you consider?

No idea what you're on about. The point I challenged you on was our world cup win. Now piss off

This is the most likable England side in a long time, but they're so flawed. Maybe that's part of what makes them fun.
