Banter The No Dazzlering Big Cricket Thread - 2025/26 Ashes Edition

[ioppolo]

Run out in a test match, unforgivable.

Webster for Sydney please.

You'd think having an all-rounder as coach would help get the best out of Green.

But I do think his management over the last 4-5 years has been poor, and he's performing even worse.

For a supposed generational talent, it's been a huge whiff.

 

[matthew_s]

That’s a no ball.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

I mean, it's a clear no ball, isn't it?

 

[Ochre]

Same old England...

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Solid fight from the Victorian.

A good reminder of the frailties of our batting.

 

[ioppolo]

Tongue for the Hattrick next innings

 

[TY24]

Fair play to Tongue, he's been excellent today.

 

[Goroyals22]

All because of another cam green brain fade….

Yeah it has nothing to do with every other bat also failing

Getting a real tongueing today. Curious to see how our bowlers fare, a fast deck or Poms improved finally?

Good deck for bowling and some good areas from England, but some really poor batsmanship to exacerbate things.

Running yourself out in those circumstances...

They looked fine until he ran himself out..

They were 5-89 when he came to the crease........

I'm surprised he didn't blame Konstas........

 

[matthew_s]

I'm surprised he didn't blame Konstas........

Did you see him make any runs today?

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Anyone who has seen Bethell bat know he's not a Test number 3. Throwing the kid to the wolves.

Should have just promoted Jacks

 

[UseR2006]

3/8 is a massacre.

I thought 150 was a weak total.

 

[FKASC]

Will Australia bat again today?

 

[Dazzler9]

Why doesn't Joe Root bump up to 3? Senior player, second greatest run-maker in history. Surely!

 

[TY24]

ol despite everything

Aus $1.55
Eng $2.60

Credit to Harry Brook, I don't think I've ever seen someone live and die by the sword quite like he does

 

[Ochre]

Pitch is doing a lot, I reckon we have enough, declare and have 15 mins at them before lunch

Thanks
