    Opinion NMFC Board Cricket Thread III

    I think was Bazball was became a victim of typical media oversimplification. Aggressive batting which turned into terrible shot selection and over confidence was only a symptom. I'm fascinated in group culture in any organisation. Baz came in and freed up a group with poor self belief and...

    It'd have to fall apart quick. And I can't see Jacks or Bethell spinning them to a collapse. Carse and Potts are pie chuckers and there's no Stokes. Tongue would have to take a ten for. But yes, if Bethell, Potts and Tongue could get the lead up to 200+ they would deserve having a chance.

    Opinion NMFC Board Cricket Thread III

    Basically, the folly of Bazball has now been exposed. It was fun while it lasted — but that period was shorter than its advocates would like to admit. “No fear of failure”, prioritising enjoyment and self-expression, avoiding introspection, praising everything and banishing negativity all sound...

    Opinion NMFC Board Cricket Thread III

    Underselling the Aussies here. Everything you say is true. But with no Hazlewood, very little Cummins or Lyon and a patchwork batting line up, they've been too smart, too professional, worked harder and much much tougher. It's fair to criticise England, but unfair for giving no credit to...

    Opinion NMFC Board Cricket Thread III

    Australia's defiance of all evidence and logic over a long period to assert that Cameron Green was the best option as the 4th bowler, and to create problems bowling in the second innings, hot day, fourth day is staggering. The bloke has been rubbish all series so what do we do? Here's a plan...

    Bat and bat and bat. Hopefully get a lead of 200+ and put them out of the game. Bazball won't be thinking about setting a target as much as thinking about the flight home.

    If there was a Sixth Test I'd open with Renshaw ahead of Weatherald, replace Khawaja with McSweeney at 5 and one of Webster or Green with a spinner - probably Murphy.

    Opinion NMFC Board Cricket Thread III

    McSweeney was stiff. He didn't do a lot but got only three Tests against Bumrah bowling out of his skin. In Perth everyone failed, in Adelaide he got through an awkward twilight pink ball session and was not out in a tiny chase and in Brisbane they were on and off all day in the first innings...

    Opinion NMFC Board Cricket Thread III

    In a way, Stuart Broad was right. The team in THIS Test is the worst Australia has put on the park in ages. It undoubtedly the worst to win an Ashes series. Head - great Weatherald - not up to it Labuschagne - Woeful recent form Smith - great but his best days well behind him Khawaja - past it...
