Our bowling performance was on point today, dismissing England for 371. However, our batting lineup decided to play hide and seek, turning what could have been a showcase into a cringe fest.
Probably PenningtonWho's up to replace Anderson for the next test? Has Matty Potts done enough in the county circuit, are they willing to give Jof a go?
I think Pennington on home turf may get the nod .Who's up to replace Anderson for the next test? Has Matty Potts done enough in the county circuit, are they willing to give Jof a go?
I'm not sure how you can top going out at Lord's as an England player.Surely the final game of the summer would provide more romance.
Not only that but half heartedly patting back driveable balls, no rotation of strike. No intent whatsoever, I'd honestly rather we got bowled out for 150 off 30 or 40 overs and someone counterattacked and at least gave bowlers something to think about.Regulation terrible Windies batting performance with players continually going after balls that can be left alone
TBF, winning a test in Aus for the first time in 14 or 15 years would be fantastic for your guys and really cute. Which test do you think you'll win to make it 4-1 our way instead of your usual duck egg?I predict a famous victory in 2025
I was on board with dropping Anderson being dropped initially, but after seeing how he bowled for lancs and in this test I'm not so sure. Also, what's the point of retiring Anderson early for the ashes if your just bringing in woakes instead? Anderson keeping one end quiet and taking the occasional wicket sounds great with stokes bowling and guys like jofra/wood/Atkinson to hold up an end, woakes is a fodder bowler away from home.So England are really going to drop a guy that took 3-37 off 20.4 overs lol
I think Anderson probably could have had the summer if he wanted but decided if this was the way they wanted to go he’d rather move aside now and retire at Lord’s.I was on board with dropping Anderson being dropped initially, but after seeing how he bowled for lancs and in this test I'm not so sure.

A great reply, I have no comebackTBF, winning a test in Aus for the first time in 14 or 15 years would be fantastic for your guys and really cute. Which test do you think you'll win to make it 4-1 our way instead of your usual duck egg?
Never ever concede to @Burgey just call him a **** and move on.....or you could also rebut with how long it's been since Aus won a series on our shores. Sure 5-0 and 4-0 look pretty but they're wanker tests.......series wins are what count.A great reply, I have no comeback
Cap doffed
It doesn't help at all that they had no preparation coming into this game other than a typical joke hit around for 3 days. Sure, I don't see a lot of quality in the middle order, but when you are giving a go to blokes who have barely played much first class cricket at all and are being picked presumably on potential, it is a tough ask to expect them to front up in challenging batting conditions against guys who have had first class preparation. Louis and Athenaze look to have some potential, but I'm not sure there is much of an answer apart from that.Our bowling performance was on point today, dismissing England for 371.
