Test The Ashes First Test November 21-25 1300hrs @ Perth Stadium

[Ohitsthatguy]

Renshaw would be my pick

For who?

 

[TasSixer]

I feel like my right arm offies would have took 5fa if I bowled instead of Stokes

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Weatherald, Carey, Head, Lyon, Doggett

Lyon NSW, Weatherald Tas,

 

[Moonwatcher]

Renshaw would be my pick

Same but I'd take Marsh too. The problem is they'd still get that one good ball from Archer and co.

 

[Westend]

Khawaja is being gifted games. Had plenty of opportunities to move past him (his form has been shit and droppable for years) and now we are reaping what we sowed

Yup needs to do something this 2nd innings.....

he looked disinterested walking to the wicket today and didn't give a toss

 

[Jack Lord]

Questions have to be asked about the stupidity surrounding Kwahaja being off the ground and forced to come in at 4.

I know he's past his best and should have been phased out a season or two ago, but to have to scramble your top four at the start of the innings isn't a great foundation for success.

 

[Balls In]

You can sense Broad is giggling to himself up in the commentary box too. He called it.

Yep there is no chance this batting line up digs us out in the fourth innings. Top order fails over and over and over.

 

[kozi]

Webster would have dug out a 35

 

[Moonwatcher]

Lyon NSW, Weatherald Tas,

Tasmania failed to develop Weatherald?

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Webster would have dug out a 35

Not in his current form

 

[Westend]

I don't think Perth should open a series ever again.

17 last year 19 today.

Not our fault everyone plays shit on bouncy wicket

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

I don't think Perth should open a series ever again.

17 last year 19 today.

Maybe the answer is to let the opposition bat twice one day one.

Which ****ing near happened today, but I mean as first and second innings of the match.

 

[StillAtLarge]

Khawaja will get the chop I think. Back spasms day 1 of a series does not bode well

 

[2 eazy]

All mental this game throwing your wicket

 

[Jeremy Jordan]

Thoughts on the days play………’what the f**king f**k’

 

[Jimthegreat]

Bowling wasn't that great outside Starc and some good overs from Doggett. There whole bowling group has troubled us and it's not as if we shouldn't have been expecting it.

If we have bowled remotely well, outside of Starc, we could have bowled them out for near 100.

Boland was just dreadful. His bowling was the equivalent of our batting. He's a big reason why England are front. 0/60 on this pitch, terrible. No-one get 0/60 on this.

 

[2 eazy]

Khawaja will get the chop I think. Back spasms day 1 of a series does not bode well

Issue we have no openers

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

Well as predicted that was ****ing shit.
Disappointment is an understatement

 

[Buzz Hawk]

I’m not convinced he’s the answer either

But you wrote that he looks out of his depth at this level. He’s faced two balls at this level, that’s pretty quick for that statement

Yeah fair point.
That was a deplorable dismissal though. Feet were nowhere

 

[Jimthegreat]

Gee Carse has a funny sounding English accent

He's South African.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Was the wicket a mine field? Or just weak batting

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Whoever we bring in it's all just shuffling deck chairs

No one in the domestic scene can save this batting

Renshaw for Ussie would be the only change and even he's not some brilliant batsman

 

[Carbine Chaos]

I don't think Perth should open a series ever again.

17 last year 19 today.

Think it's an excellent cricket wicket.

We're just watching two very inconsistent batting line ups being tested exposed by 2 very good attacks.

 

[CakeEater]

Issue we have no openers

Is galloping in to the test team

 

[kenneje]

Once again, if we're going to win, our bowlers will have to bail us out.

Really disappointing.

Annoying as most of our batsmen got starts.
