Absolute trash tonight and you all know it.

Inglis needs more time in the middle - he's spent too much time warming the bench as 2nd keeper lately. Last season he thrived when moved into the middle order after struggling as an opener, which he attributed to the shorter Powerplay putting too much pressure on him to play all his shots before he had his eye in. He was more comfortable knocking around a few singles in the middle over for a 6-7 balls and then accelerating.

I thought Turner had turned it (rimshot) around for a second tonight.

Evans has had one great innings but overall has not looked like the power-hitter he was advertised as. Struggling with the bigger grounds or the unfamiliar conditions?

Bancroft continues to be trash. Why would you play a reverse sweep with two fielders right there?!

Tye we love all your variations but how many can you bowl without the ball slipping out of your hand 50% of the time?

 

[ep2018]

Tye needs to retire.

About 50% I reckon.

So you want the comps leading wicket taker to retire?

You get to emotional after a loss.
He got some tap tonight.

Who's ready for another day of the traditional Delayed By Rain Test?

Been a nice start to the day listening to Warne's rambling, incoherent musings.

Another day, another England collapse

Just getting in early or something....
Literally just sat down with a coffee, ****ing rain

Literally just home from hospital and bloody rain. Also salmonella is a bitch.

Bolands figures so far in Test cricket: 9/55, average of 6.11.

So it is

 

[Doashuey]

Bolands figures so far in Test cricket: 7/55, average of 7.85.

Update 9/55 average of 6.1

In fact in his past 54 balls he has 9/17!

This was why I wanted him in instead of Richo- when a guy is on a roll don't stand in the way of that, let him ride it.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Boland should retire after this because it literally cannot get any better. England should retire after this because they're shit.

 

[Doashuey]

Boland and Green started their spells with England at 1/36.
They have bowled a total of 8 overs, 8 maidens for 3 wickets. 4/36 at lunch. Amazing effort.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Come on, Cummins, lift your game.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

The last half hour from Boland and Green is some of the best bowling in a partnership you’re likely to see. Absolutely strangled them.

 

[Doashuey]

Boland should retire after this because it literally cannot get any better. England should retire after this because they're sh*t.

Wrong, England should retire after Hobart- we aren't done with the humiliation yet.

 

[Biggie]

 

[Truckosaurus]

Extras England's second highest run scorer so far this Test, can they take the series lead by the end of Hobart?

I'd ask you what's the lotto numbers for this weekend, but then realised you don't have to be Nostradamus for this kind of prediction to be accurate.
