Man nothing worse than draws
Not captaincy thatThey came back from behind brilliantly but they were also 0-2 down because of some questionable captaincy (first test declaration, not playing Woakes at Lord's) so this is an exaggeration.
To quote Rob Mac from always sunny and Wrexham ownership fame.Never seen a side celebrate a 2-2 draw at home so fervently before
Well not since England last drew 2-2 vs India at home anyway
rainThe fact Aus retained the Ashes even after extremely mediocre performances by most of their players just shows how **** this England team is.
Wilson's incompetence was on display in that 2019 Headingley test too with that Stokes lbw.Couldn't agree more - so many poor decisions, particularly with LBWs from Wilson - he looked like a dear in the headlights towards the end - he didn't have a clue what he was doing
Wtf I'm slightly behindJoe Root player of the series is strange
He's far better than he used to be for sure, but I can't ever bring myself to like the guy.i don't get this. he was an asshole when he was young but people tend to hate assholes because they don't play for their side. he was not bad in ways that i dislike anyway. smith tho always tries to pull fast ones but even that doesn't make me mad because i am not sure if that is just autistic so idk
not a lot of young upcoming players that are easy to hate except riyan parag and harry brook in world cricket itbt
I dont think it is. Every captain makes tactical errors and he was against a very good Aussie side but taking the team from 2-0 to almost winning is an unprecedented achievement.They came back from behind brilliantly but they were also 0-2 down because of some questionable captaincy (first test declaration, not playing Woakes at Lord's) so this is an exaggeration.
Maybe. It's just the frustration of this lot stuffing up big moments all the time. They were 3 down literally an hour agoThey were absolutely not surviving an hour and a half blocking out the ball darting around like that
What? You go 2-0 up in England, you expect not to lose series 95% of the time.The most undeserved Ashes retention off all time?
Well it's worth pointing out that in isolation, England drawing The Ashes at home is no real achievement. But coming from behind was-and in the context of how far behind we were last Ashes in Aus.The fact Aus retained the Ashes even after extremely mediocre performances by most of their players just shows how **** this England team is.
Ajinkya Rahane > Stokes the captain by that logic. Much harder to do it away from home.They came back from behind brilliantly but they were also 0-2 down because of some questionable captaincy (first test declaration, not playing Woakes at Lord's) so this is an exaggeration.
Nah Woakes/Khawaja POTS splitTo quote Rob Mac from always sunny and Wrexham ownership fame.
"I'm finding out than in football some draws are good and some are bad"
Think the same can be said in both the instances you mention.
Has to be Woakes for POTM and Crawley POTS.
But they wouldn't have been behind in the first place if not for ridiculous captaincy. So it just evened out as the series scoreline suggests.I dont think it is. Every captain makes tactical errors and he was against a very good Aussie side but taking the team from 2-0 to almost winning is an unprecedented achievement.
