Rabada and Nortje would like a private chat!!*ten tests of slogging on pancakes against medium pacers.
But when Aus dicked them this summer we were told by erstwhile England fans they were weak as water and just wait til the Ashes. Which is it?Rabada and Nortje would like a private chat!!
Yeah, England getting rollicked 3 times for under 200, including managing to lose by an innings when SA only scored 300-odd isn't exactly something to make you quiver in your boots. They have posted some decent scores at times though.But when Aus dicked them this summer we were told by erstwhile England fans they were weak as water and just wait til the Ashes. Which is it?

You're allowed one bad match in 12. It was soon rectified.Yeah, England getting rollicked 3 times for under 200, including managing to lose by an innings when SA only scored 300-odd isn't exactly something to make you quiver in your boots. They have posted some decent scores at times though.
We're just employing Muhammed Ali's 'Rope a Dope' tactic.Good to see the Aussies on here are their usual confident/arrogant selves .
Far be it from me to remind them they haven't beaten us in England for 22 years.

I don't think you can accuse us of arrogance TBH.English cricket fans accusing others of arrogance is like SVB executives accusing others of financial mismanagement
Oh, you absolutely can.I don't think you can accuse us of arrogance TBH.
The whole ethos of the Barmy Army was you must be mad to follow England abroad because we're so ****.
I've been watching us for since the 1970s and for the most part, we've been mediocre at best, often we've been outright crap.
But at the moment we're not, and in my humble opinion with home advantage, we've every chance of winning The Ashes back.
England haven't beaten Australian in a series of ANY description in 8 years.Good to see the Aussies on here are their usual confident/arrogant selves .

With respect to this and the equivalent comment you posted on BigFooty, I don't see anything from Marsh to indicate his defensive technique is any better, and unless England do prepare flat pitches it'll be needed.Marsh to open with Khawaja.
I'd love to see it.
Give him the same license Head was given against India.
Move Head to #5.
Two destructive batsman bookending Khawaja, Marnus and Smith.
I can't see Bancroft or Harris doing any better tbh.

Since the start of BazBall Crawley has only averaged 26 despite scoring on some flat decks.
People have always said this about Marsh, but there is a paucity of evidence to show he can actually do it.I see a scenario where Marsh could change a game or two
Yeah, you might wanna check that matey.England haven't beaten Australian in a series of ANY description in 8 years.

The last time England secured a test series win against Australia was the 8th of August 2015.Yeah, you might wanna check that matey.
"England haven't beaten Australian in a series of ANY description in 8 years."The last time England secured a test series win against Australia was the 8th of August 2015.
Since that date, England have won 2 of 16 Ashes test matches, one of which was a 1000-1 come back.
But, but ....22 years......
