Also England still have their review, the umpire should have spotted the no ball so they should never have been allowed to review thus retaining the review since they shouldn't have been able to use it.

11% England win chance lad :^)
You're not allowed to review a no ball because if it wasn't called that's an umpiring mistake and thus since you can't review you can't lose it.
Getting a bit dark out there.
Could go for a cheeky winviz as well
Irrelevant. We have Smith back next game and Archer has already been exposed. England are completely cooked.
Just back from work.
Oh shit el jefe me esta llamando

Archer is off the ground.
How can we have 5 bowlers and still manage to crock several of them
Looming.
A draw is a win in England, so yes.
Had to drop an English first innings. What happened to their star impor... black English fast bowler?

the nigger is not currently on the playing field
Ponting was overrated as a captain and the majority of his success can be attributed to the legacy of those that came before him.
Clarke was alright but had some personal issues and other bullshit going on and never truly reached his potential as captain.

Don't care. Sportsmanship is more important.
great insights from healy here
would top off the series for meme shit
Does he get dropped mid series or afterwards? Which would be more ironic?
wish we had BASED specialist captain Eoin Morgan rn lads
don't care if he averaged 20-30
I won't use one word but I will say the coaches, selectors and other team experts are shit in comparison to other countries because every decent fucking English player has taken a job with Sky or TMS or some other big paying commentary job.
Australia have Langer as coach, Ponting as assistant coach and Haddin as fielding coach.
People who know how to win ashes.

He can't be out LBW if he was given out for being caught dumb cunt.

>3 50s in a row
good lad
RAISE THE BAT YOU LEGEND
I guess the fact that on average great batsmen are manlets is probably going against that.
There's been some great tall ones like KP etc. but I think you'd see more if it truly did give any decent advantages. I imagine that extra agility is really crucial when facing top tier pace.

reeeeeeeeee don't move smith around

Nah, Smith at 4, Labuschagne at 3, if Khawaja is out.
So does Khawaja open then?
Surely loose change at 3, smoth might get triggered being 3 and do a poot
Have unironically heard many people say they are happy for him to be in the team purely for captaincy and ok keeping
>Smith at 3
Not gonna happen, we dont want smith to get rooted
based retard
Drop Harris
Khawaja to open
Labo at 3
nah smith is mentally strong enough to go 3 poot is just a mental midget
Thanks
khawaja is fucking useless when the ball moves what the fuck are you on about
Your selectors really like khawaja right? I think they should drop Paine and give Wade the gloves and whoever the captaincy but I would expect they'll drop whichever the shitter one of head/wade is, I get confused between them.
Yeah maybe if the rest of our batting lineup was any good (besides smith and smith jnr) we could afford to have a specialist keeper - but it's not so we need the runs.
Paine
Would have to be retarded to risk moving the best batsman in the world
don't let England's 67 all out distract you from the fact Australia are still being skittled cheaply
They won't actually drop the captain for winning
Harris is useless aswell so I go to the player with the better record/more talent
Gotta respect that effort by stokes
probably should
If anything that bodes poorly for england, who have to bat last. Means the pitch is only getting worse to bat on
Will be up 2-0 with ashes in the bag no big changes 'til summer
Yeah but they won't, after the Ashes sure, and when smoth can have it back in whenever that is he'll get it straight away but not during the Ashes
Business idea: get Ozzies out cheaply and then hypnotize Roy, Buttler, Bairstow and Stokes into thinking they are still playing the world cup
Well you have to play bus change so you have drop someone, you can't bring a lad in who gets 3 50s in a row and not put him in the team
khawaja just statpads in australia his stats and experience means nothing
it's only day 3 tomorrow mate, and this is a pitch that levels out so in the interim it's gonna actually be easier for batting
it's not gonna be day 5 pitch
funny thing is he even had a shit home summer, really just cooked all round at the moment. unironically was never the same after this brother got done for terrorism.
happened to shaun marsh in 2015/16, scored a 150 or something and was dropped for khawaja in the next test
Do you really think he's worse than Harris though, he's had some nice 20s and 30s his mental is just fucked
Business Idea: Drop Roy and Buttler because they're shit, move Bairstow up the order and let Foakes keep and Stokes isn't really a problem, got a hundred and has bowled better than Woakes
need to bat all day tomorrow or englel might get a bit of momentum back
yeah I do, although I think Bancroft shouldn't have been dropped
One good performance could be luck, 3 good ones in a row would be dumb as fuck to drop
give Renshaw a go
>tendies 3 down
>hope not batting yet
Fair enough, not to worried, expect whoever we pick to get out cheaply anyway
I reckon if a captain loses an ashes series at home they should be dragged out onto trafalgar square and promptly shot through the head
yeah, difference is that bancroft lasts far more balls so I'd take his shit performance over the other shit performances
>shot through the head
wouldnt kill root
Why can Woakes only bowl decently in ODIs?
Business idea: pick good players
odi batsmen have more pressure to play shots they wouldnt play in tests
amazing how our terrible batting actually makes our bowlers seem "meh" simply because we can't get an innings lead
when in reality the scores they're skittling australia out for are actually really decent
But Woakes gets more movement with a ball that should move less, it doesn't make sense
Kek
This has looked a really treacherous pitch at times. Not sure Australia have been got out especially cheaply.
fuck, i dont know. Maybe Woakes slaughters an orphan before ODIs and the devil grants him special powers
>we'll have a bowl
it's not been treacherous especially, in that it's been fairly consistent. It's just given something to the bowlers - but it's not been inconsistent/unpredictable which is what you'd associate with "treacherous"
What about that ball that seamed off through the slip cordon? That doesn't happen on a consistent pitch.
wallop
Someone exblain to me why they don't play test like T20/odi? Is it pitch or is it because in test the team keeps using the bets bowler over and over?
They use a different ball in test cricket which has way more variation than t20/odis. The pitches usually are a lot less flat which contributes even more to the ball swining/seaming. There are also no fielding restrictions in test cricket.
test cricket is infinitely harder to bat in than t20 or odi cricket, its why you never see t20/odi specialists make it in test cricket, but will always see good test batsmen do well in odi/t20
I want England to be good again and save test Cricket
What cricket match should I watch for this feel
What happened?
Anglobros were getting too cocky
Root and co punished them for it
kek you remember in 2010/11 when Australia were being RAPED in their own backyard and all their "fans" were literally evacuating the stadium en masse and emptying all the seats
at least England fans actually hung around today and cheered when stuff actually managed to happen
gotta wait till next year for pakistan tests
1932 bodyline series
Yeah but at least our media doesn't write-up hate mail to every single player in our team individually.
The '81 test at headingly which Botham saved for them - all downhill from there for the Englumbs.

He bowled well first match, but now that hes been dropped below archer in the pecking order hes been shit
brilliant. england do not deserve anything from this series on the evidence and I am glad it happened in such an embarrassing and chastening way. the test team has been very disappointing for so many years and we need a thorough bumming like this in the MOST important test series to enact proper change
root needs to resign the captaincy. he is a crap, crap captain, the worst in my lifetime, he can't bat at 3, and he needs to be able to focus just on his batting. is there an outstanding candidate to step in? no, but this clearly isnt working. hopefully with the series gone we will blood in some new players for the last couple of tests. they could hardly be worse than these bottle jobs. god I hate them all especially the seething ginger glovelet
like i said,lets hope,also you just saw how england got bowled out at 67
Always liked Bitchwide as a cricketer and as a bloke. Also he rekt us at Perth in that series.
yeah he's been good on tms and generally comes off as a decent bloke
Poohli hates chadeshwar Pujara and Rahane for some reason
they had good positions against us in the test series
what happened is they let the tail wag.. every damn time. I'm pretty sure india were in a commanding position in every damn game and they literally just started sleepwalking and let us take it away from them
Yup, he's extremely humble. Actually a legit good bloke.

I get rahane being dropped now because he's been shit for a couple of years, but poojara averages 50 at 3, I know he's better at home but there's not many batsman that aren't homebabbies
they had us 87/7 in the 1st test and we ended up making 180. and they should have knocked off those runs on the last morning too. it was a mad series it should have been 3-2 either way
all home series chodu, we'll white wash them
>shaking in rage
err to be quite honest i'm kinda stunned by today and I mostly feel mildly embarrased. I also feel a little sad that Smith won't be the one to seal the urn for us. I feel sorry for you, honestly.
>tries to appear more reasonable after being called out but can't hide his inner frothing seethe
yyyikes
also 86/6 in the 3rd test which became 246 all out
sam curran was great that series
sure, dont play him in away series but his lower order runs and left arm military medium dibbly dobblies is perfect for tests in england

pujara averages 90 in sri lanka and kholi averages 40 lad
I like to think the family line coming from there gives me defacto convict status...
DESTROYED with facts and logic

ol' classic this one
I just had a nightmare that england won the toss in perfect conditions, inserted australia, took a few but largely wasted the overcast skies, then a blow-in west indian rescued us, and then we folded for 67 when conditions were good for batting, surrendering the urn and lurching towards a first home series defeat against austrlaia for 18 years
thankfully it was just a nightmare and it isn't really happening
>it's another episode of cazzie plebs thinking poojara is better than Khatri bvll kohli
>england won the toss in perfect conditions
Conditions were far from perfect.

>Most of this team have just won an era-defining World Cup and are now being slated. Heroes one week, villains the next. It's asking too much for a team to prepare for & win both a WC and the Ashes in one summer. Most blame should rest with the ECB for crazy scheduling as well as their red ball strategy. Past test players could also contribute coaching rather than repeat the same criticisms.
This strikes me as the sanest comment on the BBC tbqhwy
perfect for bowling I mean, overcast skies, moisture in the air, poor light, batsmen having to go off and on constantly
haha imagine if we'd let them get to 120/2 in those circumstances. doesnt bear thinking about
as I mentioned he's a cazzie pleb
*downvotes that comment in favour of comments saying the whole team should be sacked and donate their match fees to charity*
I could handle us being shit in the 90s because at least it looked like they gave a shit. not the most naturally talented but honest tryers, darren gough, alec stewart, nass, athers
now we have the opposite, a talented group of players who can't apply themselves to a test innings to save their lives. I know which I prefer
What's wrong with cazzie plebs
>Implying he isn't
More of a hockey nation really
Field or ice?
Well except for stokes, who applies himself so hard he spends most of the match looking like dripping frustrated beetroot.
Truth
>red ball strategy
Isnt that >poots fault
>past players could also contribute
Thats not how it works in any professional sport. Past players cant just 'contribute' to coaching without being invited in, and im sure many would love to be in that circle, just they havent been asked. And yes, asking in 100+ ex players to give you adivce is fucking stupid. Absolute retartedest of opinions
yes. ben stokes since the rights for gays incident has proven that he is a matured character and can make innings like that
I don't believe any of the rest of the team can do that at the minute besides rory burns and root if he decides to stop being a mong
more of a nation really
Gough was good though
Both honestly
How can one tiny island be so fucking based?
I think Denly has the right temperament too
he's just not that great
englel
love chase, proper gritty lower order player
You're all going to look like fucking morons when England smash 312 to win the 3rd test
>Implying Australia aren't scoring another 100
hoping for another double figure annihilation tomorrow
>scoring 300-350 on day 3-4
impossible I've been told
England won't win. Australia want it more.
now stokes has got his retarded score off every ball retardation out the way I think he's back to his new brainy batsman self again
I hold hope yet
archer just needs to not be a coward and limp off after a few overs when things aren't going his way
fucking mercenary scum
objectively true, hosting a 5 test series and the world cup in one summer was a stupid idea, if only because of the amount of bad light stopping play we'll probably have in the fifth test because it's being played in mid september.
feel like pure shit, just want jimmy and clouds back.
i'm glad jimmy hasn't been here to shoulder the burden of this shit cunt batting lineup
Snow stops play is going to be kino as fuck
>englands only hope is a 45 year old fast bowler with a broken back
apologise to Sir James Anderson immediately
gentle reminder they dropped ollie pope after only 3 innings and they've literally given roy almost twice as many
kek holy shit
2bh ollie pope looked pretty solid in those 2 games despite his age
problem was his temperament, kept trying to score every ball, technically he looked solid and like he could be an international player
yeah but roy has proven himself opening the innings in white ball cricket with limited fields, and that is more valuable than arbitrary things like first class average
How the fuck can opening the batting be? Just don't get out for fucks sake
oh wait I forgot about ireland over twice as many*
and they stuck him in at 4 straight away when he usually bats 6 for surrey to accommodate our 'gun' middle order, none of whom want to bat any higher than 6
Just looked at the scorecard lads, did Jofra go home to sleep early?
heh you can't drop me because i'm the wicket keeper
heh i'm keeping ben foakes out of the side because I had a good run a couple of years ago and who cares if I average mid thirties I'm here to keep hahah
I reckon I would also prefer to bat in the position where it is easier to score
if we drop him he might top himself so it's probably for the best
coward mercenary couldn't be bothered as soon as it didn't go his way
Like he would matter when we go all out for fuck all
when you have a rookie coming in, it's on the senior players to step up, not hide behind them in the order
at least a jimmy/leach combo could provide some entertainment for the last wicket.
just like root and denly eh
This desu. If Warner and Lasagne had been got early (which to be fair they very nearly were) Australia would have been the ones getting skittled for less than a hundred.
>era-defining World Cup
FUCK OFF nobody in this country even cared. What does 'Nikolai' even know about cricket anyway, doesn't sound like an Anglo at all tbqh.

it was consistent today, not yesterday
