The Ashes

[Quokka]

Hopefully he gets a ton now because you said that I can't decide if I should turn that on or keep watching footy

Well there's one half, just need to get to lunch now...

 

[Quokka]

I almost didnt post anything but I thought don't give in to superstition, don't give in to superstition...

F*** U superstition

 

[Righteo]

Gone now save for a massive Smith/Clarke partnership you'd think.

 

[FD2646]

Unfortunately we are now up the creek.....

 

[Sweetback]

Looking forward to Watto being dropped.

 

[Freoforever86]

And we're done

 

[DMan 11]

Unfortunately we are now up the creek.....

Without a paddle in sight

 

[Grape Bear]

And we're done

Just a total collapse.

 

[Freoforever86]

Haddin is a terrible batsman

 

[poshman]

Very ugly... Clarke is looking so far past his prime it's almost hard to remember what he used to play like. Smith and Warner got starts and cost us.

The majority of the batting line up getting starts in the first innings and doing nothing with it is worrying. We don't seem to have players that can dig in for a session scoring 1 or 2 an over. Anythkng under four and they seem to crack.

 

[Sweetback]

And thus ends the glittering career of Shane Watson.

And Watson reviews the unreviewable

And Watson reviews the unreviewable

Story of his career.

Me on Facebook an hour ago:

What are the chances Watson gets out LBW and refers it?

 

[Freoforever86]

To be honest, he had to review that. No point having reviews left after all out

 

[Alfonz]

What an embarrassing performance. Hopefully we can bounce back, but now the Poms have a lot of confidence. If we won the first test, could have buried them mentally.

 

[gaskin]

Hopefully the team selection for next test is better than this. Watson should never have been in ahead of Marsh.

Yeh but he does it every time

 

[Sweetback]

Johnson has the shuffling walking action sometimes seen in Asian women of advanced age.

 

[Lach72]

Difference was Bad Haddin's drop of Root.

 

[ydraw]

Yeh but he does it every time

It's probably a team rule.

Umpires get LBWs wrong so often that I wouldn't be at all surprised if all players are instructed to review them unless they are hit on the toe.

Angry

 

[free at last]

Yep,the poms will have gained massive confidence from their big victory over us.To be honest,I really can't see us retaining the 'ashes' now,we are too old( Clarke,Haddin,voges,Bucky).

 

[FreoRicci]

My god how has Watson manged to stay in this side for longer then 12 months.. I'd bring in Mitch Marsh and just develop him in the all rounder role. Watson is finitio.

I turned it off than apparently a minute later that happens, just have to laugh.

He's obviously in the boys club. Politics in cricket team selections will NEVER stop.
