5th Test at Hobart - 14-19 Jan 2022

They look comfortable but if these guys keep insisting on playing Root right off the back foot someone is going to get bowled/lbw IMO

 

[Gnske]

We need sweeps on England's score here. If we get put in with an hour or so left, this could be a world record low.

You know, I'll be an optimist and say 220 if Starc is still bowling pies.

Nah pink ball hax

 

[Starfighter]

0/50 off 7. Wow.

spark uses the word klaxon klaxon

 

[MW1304]

Wood's a massive rhythm bowler, and he's completely lost it here.

 

[Gnske]

Consider Wood's economy, and consider Anderson would have had an economy of no more than 2 even if he picked up no wickets.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Heh... guess Warnie didn’t pass his school science exam. Keeps saying the ball is speeding up on the outfield.

 

[Starfighter]

This reminds me of when teams like WI come here, put up a fight for about an hour, then completely disintegrate.

This might genuinely be the worst bowling performance from a SENA nation in Australia that I can remember.

Yes thank you captain obvious.....we're all watching too.

 

[Starfighter]

How long does it take to start a flipping over?

 

[Gnske]

I never got an answer to why Jimmy isn't playing?

Yes thank you captain obvious.....we're all watching too.

Literally RESTED.

They actually rested him.

 

[Burgey]

Really feel like Root is setting some genuinely junk fields here. Deck has calmed down a lot and much easier to bat on but you’ve got to back your bowlers ffs.

Set two and two for Head with an off side ring field and feed it across him with a fly slip/ third man ffs. There’s at least three blokes out across both sides of the wicket for a bloke bowling 145. It’s absolute ****ing trash captaincy.

there’s been some poor bowling but these fields are those of a team bereft of a plan. As bad as I’ve seen in the circs. Take two wickets here and they can still be bowled out for 220 odd

"Partnership of 69"
"He's looking hot Travis Head"

Highly inappopriate comments from Isa

 

[Gnske]

What is actually happening out there

 

[Starfighter]

Set two and two for Head with an off side ring field and feed it across him with a fly slip/ third man ffs.

(No) thanks for reminding me of his dismissals against India a few years ago. Was hoping I'd forgotten that. But a very good point that it is a legit option against him, especially with someone of Wood's pace.

 

[Son Of Coco]

These two are batting very well. Green looks excellent. English bowling has been a bit iffy though.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Great commitment to fielding for the team even when he can’t move from Ollie “I’m an instantly reformed citizen after my ancient tweets were discovered” Robinson.

 

[Adders]

Always knew a Hobart Ashes test was a ****ing **** idea
