Y all the Brook hate?

Cos he's a ****

 

[Burgey]

Why is Brook a ****? Has he said or done something ordinary? He just doesn’t seem important enough to waste energy on hating unless he’s done something to earn it

Averaging 80 for Eng will tend to get under some Aussies noses.

 

[TimAngas]

Winner and scoreline: Australia 3-1
Most runs for each: Smith, Root
Most wickets for each: Lyon, Robinson
Compton-Miller Medal: Lyon
Biggest welcome surprise for each: Starc turns it on, on some very flat wickets. Crawley.
Biggest failure for each: Broaderson/Ali fail to take 20 wickets consistently. Labuschange gets a bit confused about where to bat relative to the crease
Players called up/debuted: Neser, Hain
Players dropped: Duckett (with Bairstow brought up to open)

Won't be bothersome to us for very long at all tbh

I'd never seen his dial until he did an interview yesterday. I note he plays for Yorkshire. Certainly has questions to answer.

 

[Adders]

That average only heading North after this series fella.

Made a ton in the Indian pajama league after not making any runs, called out his social media haters in the post match then proceeded to score a bunch of ducks and got dropped.

Ah ok. He really is a flog then

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Just comes across as your generic rich kid English cricketer to me. Like Crawley except he has actually made some runs of late

 

[Starfighter]

then proceeded to score a bunch of ducks and got dropped.

That was hilarious.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

One of the questions should have been "how many balls will Ben Duckett leave?"

(TMS has just reminded me that he has left the ball 8 times total in his last 6 Tests.)

 

[Starfighter]

Does a five minute delay at the start of play count?

It's my thread so I guess I should be making that decision.

 

[ataraxia]

Yes. It was affected by rain. Nothing to do with my massive prediction ofc

 

[Starfighter]

Nothing to do with my massive prediction ofc

I've got the opposite problem, which is partly why I was asking lol.

Series Prediction Thread.

England lose series and realise why - they've been playing test cricket like New Zealand

 

[BoyBrumby]

Biggest failure for each: Crawley & Khawaja

Already looking rock solid shouts, tbh.

Nostra-friggin'-damus, me.

 

[CartyDurham]

A bit premature, but I wanted to create it rather than letting someone else do it.

I suggest waiting at least until the squads are confirmed to actually make yours - your time limit is the toss on Day 1.

Winner and scoreline:
Most runs for each:
Most wickets for each:
Compton-Miller Medal:
Biggest welcome surprise for each:
Biggest failure for each:
Players called up/debuted:
Players dropped:
Random/free choice:
Number of sessions affected by rain:

2-2
root and Smith
broad and lyon
lyon
crawley and head
stokes and Warner
robinson, Anderson, boland dropped
4 session of rain
debut or called up Rehan Ahmed

random choice Crawley to be in the top three scorers for England

 

[Starfighter]

Three sessions now. Though mightn't count the day 2 five minute delay.

I should have gone much higher than six, that was a bit of wishful thinking.
