Test The Ashes Fifth Test January 4-8 1000hrs @ The SCG

[Roos92]

Two mediocre balls from green probably don't deserve wickets. Just poor batting

 

[troybe]

Imagine if your aunt had balls.

 

[Some Idiot]

Sloppy all round from Green, Carey and Webster better hope Smith doesn't make us pay.

 

[Topkent]

He has 2 more centuries that Brook in this series... For that exact reason.

Not sure that comment was the flex you thought it was.

After 40 ****ing attempts . Bet ya brook does that aswell if plays that long and completely embarrassed your theory

 

[Stopher]

So Carey moves slightly then just stops and it's all on Webster?

 

[HoldMyBeer]

The Aussie heads are up their own arses

They've switched off, maybe looking forward to a bit of golf. This is what happens when the coach and captain diminish the standing of The Ashes.

 

[sherb]

Had root actually shown up when it mattered

This is such revisionist shit just because he hasn't got out and brook did. Brook still scored 84 and changed the test match.

And the 84 was vital.

But we are talking more about match awareness. He's got the 84, so really press home the advantage.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Can't help but feel if they'd had a couple of warm up matches to help them acclimatise we might have seen this England a little earlier in the series.

They weren't going to stand in the heat for more than 25 days. I understand that. Reckon it was the extreme heat in the first 3 tests that got them. They had no intention of sticking it out.

 

[Gethelred]

Sloppy all round from Green, Carey and Webster better hope Smith doesn't make us pay.

... again, how is Carey involved there?

 

[ams4crows]

Stokes has had a remarkably bad tour with the bat only one decent score for the whole series

 

[Visions]

Don't understand why bowlers have to tempt fate with that line anyhow to that extent.

 

[Linda Lovelace]

... again, how is Carey involved there?

Is this a serious question?

 

[ptrg]

The loser chump energy from Green is off the charts.

Get him out ffs.

They'll keep bowling him until he has enough wickets to justify his inclusion going forward

 

[grumbleguts]

If carse's wasn't a no ball then neither was green's

 

[RWnBluey]

How is that Carey's catch? It's almost gone over Webster's head.

Literally split them down the middle

 

[Carn The Berries]

After 40 ****ing attempts . Bet ya brook does that aswell if plays that long and completely embarrassed your theory

When Harry Brook passes Joe Root as England's all time leading run scorer I'll happily eat my hat.

I think my hat is pretty safe

 

[Gough]

I see no reason why if the EnZedders get their preparation right next season won't see some good cricket.

 

[Topkent]

And the 84 was vital.

But we are talking more about match awareness. He's got the 84, so really press home the advantage.

Nah see people are acting like he didn't give a shit about the result, he got out. It happens, it's one mistake.
Joe Root got dropped when he scored his first century but apparently that's because he wants it more than brook? Pretty sure brook scores a century too if hes dropped

 

[Gethelred]

So Carey moves slightly then just stops and it's all on Webster?

... it was almost over his head. Dunno WTF you want Carey to do, other than leap on Beau's shoulders while the bowler's in his runup and take a speccie off his shoulder.

 

[dogs105]

So Carey moves slightly then just stops and it's all on Webster?

As it nearly hit him in the head, yes.

 

[Gethelred]

Literally split them down the middle

Nope. Not in the slightest.

 

[Run n Spread]

Couple of observations.
Stokes didn't hit that it was ridiculous but have to be consistent given Carey's dismissal in Adelaide.
Im actually feeling sorry for cam Green.
First one his foot dragged. Look where it landed that was not a no ball. Landed behind.
Second one was clearly Carey's catch.

 

[icyflakes]

Stokes has had a remarkably bad tour with the bat only one decent score for the whole series

It's been truly cathartic.

To be fair to him he's been great and important as an impact bowler.

 

[Topkent]

When Harry Brook passes Joe Root as England's all time leading run scorer I'll happily eat my hat.

I think my hat is pretty safe

Brooks currently got a higher test batting average than Root even though Root cares about cricket and Brook doesn't care. Kinda ****s your point up

 

[Gethelred]

Is this a serious question?

Are you a bot, programmed by the most miserable person ever?
