Why so negative?Wishful thinking. Bazball will scare the aussies and i believe its already having an impact. We will win 3-0

Oh tug at my heartstrings why don't youRemember that time the football team were 3-0 up before losing 4-3 and so everyone agreed they were the better side in that game
With this logic Aus won the 2009 Ashes by a landslideThat's completely fair. Just think the easiest way to quantify the better team in a situation like this is to see who dominated/performed better for longer stretches of the series.
England won that series 2-1. When I said situations like this I meant drawn series. Sorry if that wasn't clear.With this logic Aus won the 2009 Ashes by a landslide
indeedStreet Usman Marnus Smith Henriques Green looks like a good batting lineup
In all seriousness do you think street will outperform hunt at test level? I'm a qlder and love street to bit's but hunt seems like the superior opener of the two (if only slightly).indeed
tbh i can't offer you a genuine preference between the two, however, i reckon that both can outdo warner on the land of the old enemyIn all seriousness do you think street will outperform hunt at test level?

Bookmarked, no doubt.
Homepage, imoBookmarked, no doubt.
hehThe tons also took him to 28 for his career and above both Smith (27) and Virat Kohli's 27 on the all-time hundreds charts, with Smith eager to point out the former England captain has had more time to do so.
“He's played a few [35] more tests than me as well!” Smith said.
yep. the australians love hitting the deck hard in the corridor all day, and if you let them you will lose bar one or two guys with fantastic defensive games (pujara).Thing is the only time I can think that Cummings, Hazlewood et al have realy let the wheels totaly fall off is when the batting side has come at them hard......Stokes Headingly, Pant Brisbane (?) eg
Not convinced it will always come off against that quality of attack but imo would seem a legitimate approach?
I don't think McCullum is qualified in mauling Starc tbhThere was much said about McCullum's "innovative" captaincy and aggression before the the 3 match series in Aus and Australia halted it in it's tracks pretty well. That said it would be pretty funny to see Cummins and Hazlewood get carted. Don't see it happening tbf. They could easily maul Starc tho.
Lyon tends to fall apart from when attacked I feelThing is the only time I can think that Cummings, Hazlewood et al have realy let the wheels totaly fall off is when the batting side has come at them hard......Stokes Headingly, Pant Brisbane (?) eg

did starc bowl in his final test?I don't think McCullum is qualified in mauling Starc tbh
Nah I think he missed that series through injury.did starc bowl in his final test?
if yes then he figured it out literally at the last minute.
It wasn't so long ago Root getting to 50 odd and not going on with it was a meme. It's a pretty fraught exercise to bag players of the quality of these fellas.On current form smith would need all 35 of those tests to get back infront
I hope its true esp. for Virat as I feel the amount of unjustified vile tripe he is receiving even from some here in CW is amazing. Also, it does seem to be that we are in the middle of a bowling era so we have to temper our expectations on what "greatness" is for batsmen as well.It wasn't so long ago Root getting to 50 odd and not going on with it was a meme.
