5th Test at Hobart - 14-19 Jan 2022

Thank god you got Burns. If he'd got 50 he'd be a cert for West Indies tour.

He should be. There is literally nobody else.

This. Lyon is the reason we didn't win that series and cheating umpires. Stokes has had remarkable luck in his life. That innings, not having an official criminal record for attempted murder. It's alarming.

No it's actually Paine ****ing up the reviews

Come to think of it, Tim single handedly made sure Aust doesn't make the wtc final

i think that 2-2 was undeserved because it was way too generous to the aussies tbh, england were the better team by far in that series it's just the aussies had at different points one or two blokes england could simply not dislodge lol

England where not the better team by far lmao? Australia dominated more then half of the first test, a decent amount of the 2nd test, most of the 3rd test bar stokes, all of the 4th test and small sections of the 5th test. 2-2 was completely fair.

There was a clear intensity drop in the final test too. **** comment that

the thing with teams is that they're eleven players

If England wins this to make it 3-1, which would be the more undeserved scoreline - this series or 2019?

Ashes 2013 should have been 4-0 to us before the thrashing a few months later.

2009 was probably the best example of an undeserved scoreline.

Anyway this will be 4-0 when we lollapse

well in the Lord's test we had 12 tbf

 

[jcas0167]

Green is scarily good. You just expect him to get a wicket when he comes on to bowl.

Not sure about Warne's suggestion to promote Stokes up the order.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

He should be. There is literally nobody else.

I'd rather we pick anybody but him. I'd even open with Bairstow before picking him.

@GIMH asterix on the retention?

He also single handedly ruined his career

 

[Gob]

the thing with teams is that they're eleven players

And England had more performing players?

They were playing Jason Roy ffs

 

[stephen]

hamstring I think

Damn those concussions.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

2019 was the most one sided drawn series in history. Lords we were only in it due to the weather, Headingley was a once in a lifetime freak. Tim Paine kept the series tight.

Looks a real find. With the strength of the front line pacers he is ideal as a 4th quick and you can manage his workload better than we have with Stokes at times. One to persevere with through the inevitable bad times but looks best all-rounder Aussies had in my lifetime by a long way.

I've seen some pretty dumb takes. Perhaps cricketsavant or someone's got a hold of Shady's account.

Nah come on.

 

[Shady Slim]

everyone said that copernicus was crazy when he said that thing he said

He looked better in that series than Burns and Hameed have in this. ?
