if root can land 6 out of 6 on the spot today he needs to have a trundle

Mr Mister awarded Australia the Ashes when England were 40/7 against Ireland.

Not managed to watch any of this innings but Moeens figures look horrendous.

I asked earlier if there was any controversy about him replacing Leach but it got lost amid the trolling. Moeen has been consistently crap against Aus and Leach just won a game against Ireland with the bat.

If he could do that he'd be the best spinner in the world

Mr M is a gun poster tbf, and in making that post re Ireland he was of course correct.

It’s more the bone headed FJ posts which lead one to despise any remotely partisan post.

And I stand by it!

This is ridiculous. 5 run penalty every time they ask for the ball to be checked IMO

 

[Burgey]

England being woeful with this ball changing stuff.

Moeen has bowled well recently in test matches but Leach bowled better against Sri Lanka. When I pointed that out months ago I was told it didn't matter for some reason.

Archer's first act in a white Englanf shirt is to misfield at mid off. Hopefully a sign of things to come

I hope he bowls his one day length rather than pitching it up. If he'd done that on this pitch he'd have gotten absolutely belted.

This is ridiculous. Bumble is lost for words.

Buttler stands square and Smith continually works it behind. Buttler moves behind square and Smith knocks it in front. Go away.

 

[Flem274*]

If he could do that he'd be the best spinner in the world

the spot in this case is the general area of the pitch i.e. more than moeen

 

[trundler]

Stop wasting time on the ball ****s. These 2 are rotating the strike well. Healthy partnership.

 

[Starfighter]

That was absolute garbage.

 

[mr_mister]

Moeens last match in whites for England? Leech possibly a better option with bat and ball atm

 

[Flem274*]

why on earth do they have archer out there diving around? he's only just recovered from injury
