Lehman said he had his pace back in the tour games and in the nets, its worth it now for the next test and bring a fresh Starc back for the Oval. Didn't Lyon look 2nd rate last night

Couldn't bring myself to watch last night. When I did flick over, it was as the ball spilled out of Clarke's hand and hit the deck. Switched straight back.

 

[Punts]

5/21 useless

 

[The King!]

Horse coaching the cricket side

Clarke moving to 5 will be different for him

 

[Millky95]

Not watching but the pitch must have something seriously good in it

 

[The King!]

Swinging

Just no discipline in this order

 

[robbieando]

I'll leave this tweet here, it just sums everything up. Our National T20 side have let us down

 

[The King!]

Wont get to lunch

Wont get to lunch

Test won't last 2 days

 

[Shiv]

It's been soo bad that I have had to switch over to the footy show

 

[The King!]

Bet england bat better on it

 

[robbieando]

Bet england bat better on it

Thats a given. They can't play limited overs cricket and we can't play T20 Cricket.

 

[The King!]

They can get a pitch prepared to an oppositions weakness mind you

 

[RW]

60?! WTF?! Even the Swans could score more than that in four quarters of footy and our forward structure is s**t

 

[The King!]

Shane watson can at least get 30

 

[Number37]

Shane watson can at least get 30

Bring back Watto. LOL

Warner is a tonker.
Smith's technical problems are getting found out, no real surprise there.
Clarke is way out of form.
Marsh for Marsh, what a stupid selection.

Have relied on Johnson having flashes of Johnson brilliance for the last few years.
Then Starc got the hype and he is worse than Johnson.
Siddle is plodder should have picked Coulter Nile or someone like that for England.

 

[bedford]

Siddle hasn't even played ffs, where do we find them

 

[The King!]

If siddle is not playing this test wont ever play again

 

[bedford]

And he should have played, at least he'd bowl at the stumps

 

[The King!]

Spot on

Clarkes captaincy has gotten crap

 

[Number37]

Siddle hasn't even played ffs, where do we find them

I never said he played, he is on tour but he shouldn't be because he has done 1 tenth of f all in his whole test career.
Bowls straight up and down rubbish.

 

[Number37]

And he should have played, at least he'd bowl at the stumps

BS.
He does nothing with the ball and NEVER has.

 

[The King!]

192 wickets..

 

[Number37]

192 wickets..

I prefer to look with my eye.

He got dropped and hasn't been picked because he does nothing with the ball.

 

[The King!]

I prefer to look with my eye.

He got dropped and hasn't been picked because he does nothing with the ball.

Think he is an average player these days also, just think harsh to say he has done nothing

But this test was his best chance to play we need someone to bowl straight up and down

Instead we got two left arm quicks relying on pace and a nsw token plodder

No idea mate
