***Official*** 3rd Test at the WACA

[SeamUp]

Root needs to learn how to grind out a 100 again. All this bravado batting has got to his head.

 

[vcs]

Lyon looks so threatening bowling at the left-hander. Even though he got cut there.

 

[Daemon]

England are trash. This is what you get for stealing the Kohinoor and countless Chinese artefacts, then displaying them in museums and on the Queen's head.

 

[Pothas]

Why am I watching this?

 

[Burgey]

England don't really have any other replacements for Cook though, do they? Hameed has done ****all in County cricket since the India series, hasn't he? It's always going to look worse for a batsman at the end of his career on a high pressure away tour. Wouldn't be surprised if he went to NZ and got runs tbh.

Doesn’t matter if he retires.

 

[SeamUp]

Cook cooked and root rooted.

Pity there is no Trent Boult in this England team ey ?

 

[Burgey]

And really, good a player as he is, does anyone really think Cook deserves to pass TOTAB’s record of 153 consecutive tests?

 

[Spark]

(1) Lyon should bowl over the wicket way more (2) Root's approach to batting in this entire series has been intensely questionable

 

[OverratedSanity]

Doesn’t matter if he retires.

But should he? Ok, he's definitely not lasting till the next ashes, but with no obvious replacements he could carry on and still do ok. I don't think he'll be this bad away to NZ and at home to Pak.

You forgot the Elgin Marbles

 

[Burgey]

Does Root not want to win enough?

 

[Spikey]

mate forget retiring cook should take the captaincy off that Root ****

 

[Second Spitter]

Doesn’t matter if he retires.

He should follow in the footsteps of the illustrious group of good-to-mediocre English players and retire mid-tour.

 

[OverratedSanity]

If you told me before the series that Root and Cook would have the lowest series averages among England's top 6, I'd have called you insane.

 

[Burgey]

But should he? Ok, he's definitely not lasting till the next ashes, but with no obvious replacements he could carry on and still do ok. I don't think he'll be this bad away to NZ and at home to Pak.

He will be if he’s lost the desire though.

They'll all want to somehow hang on until next summer, which is when they'll get to resurrect their careers. Remember when we made Ballance look like Bradman and let Chris Jordan, Moeen etc. demolish us.

 

[SeamUp]

Something I haven't really looked at before with most test matches played : Records | Test matches | Individual records (captains, players, umpires) | Most matches in career | ESPN Cricinfo

 

[TNT]

That reminds me, wonder what Adders is doing, probably watching old movies on the ABC.

 

[Burgey]

Shows the stupidity of Pommie fans - pay thousands of pounds and travel ten thousand miles to watch cricket then cheer when it rains. Dickheads of the highest order.

 

[TNT]

And rain stops play, no doubt there will be idiots that think if TPC had of declared earlier it would not have rained.
