[Cricket] Ashes 2021-22

[Bold Seagull]

I wonder what the score will be when I wake up to check it at around 7am tomorrow morning?

I'll go with 248/4

Who knew that was going to be an optimists shout…

 

[Bold Seagull]

We haven't even bowled yet, not sure why Aggers and others are so hung up on the omission of Broad and Anderson, it's the batting that collapsed.

Now we can get hung up on the omission of Broad in particular!!

When this England team gets backed into a corner, it starts whimpering ‘please not the face’, rather than coming out swinging.

For the worst county in England it's odd that today the best batsmen and best bowler are both Sussex players

Travis Head, Really?

Travis Head, Really?

I know, I just woke up to this . Feels like it's taking the piss out of Sussex fans directly

 

[Gwylan]

Couldn't Australia have picked the Travis Head who played for Sussex last season?

Yeah, that one was useless. Sussex really need to look into signing this one.

In summary:


A player who had an average of 13.4 in the county championship before his final knock of 49* earlier in the year.

Just scored the 3rd fastest century in Ashes history

At what point is someone in authority going to realise that Silverwood is utterly useless.

That top 3 wouldn’t scare a village team 3rd XI. I simply do not believe that of all the cricketing talent we have, those are the best 11 test cricketers in the country.

Silverwood is a disgrace, all the planning for the last year was solely focused on this series, we threw series in India and had our worst home summer for over 30 years but all because we were using them as prep for this series....and this series looks like it's all over in 3 days. Pathetic, if he had any moral fibre he'll resign tomorrow after we've lost by an innings.

They have tried every other opener in the country and they were equally useless.

I get your point.

Nonetheless, I reckon there are plenty of hungry young county players who reckon they could make a better fist of it. Let’s face it, could the likes of Phil Salt be any worse? I’m using him as an example but you you have risk it to find the next Trescothick.

I woke up from a dream that we had bowled them out for 75 and were 150 for 2.

Then i saw the scorecard and read the report.

It seems that, once again, we have not supported our bowlers and have dropped catches and missed run outs.

Australia didn't and along with our pathetic batting performance is why we will lose this by an innings.

Things that were more predictable than Travis Head basically scoring more runs in his first innings than he managed all summer for Sussex:

1) Jack Leach would be absolutely shit. I don't know why England bother playing spinners, ours are nearly always absolute gash.
2) Rory Burns would cement his position as useless opener by following up his first ball duck with dropping an absolute dolly

 

[amexer]

All the seamers bowled very well but you cant defend a total of 149 and your spinner goes for nearly 9 an over. Doesn't help easy dropped catch, missed run out and Stokes bowling Warner off a no ball

You can’t say that about the seam attack today. They battled very hard. Typical Robinson.
It’s a fair call on our batters though
Broad obviously should have played but I don’t think that would change the result.
We have an Inferior team and for whatever reason they’re not prepared at all

Jack Leach's test figures are as good as if not better much of a pace attack. I think the issue is not playing him and spinners regularly and destroying what confidence he and other spinners get

 

[Pevenseagull]

England managed to get a draw from this sort of position at Brisbane a few years back.


Mind you that was with Cook, Strauss and Trott as the top 3. ... I think I've spotted a problem.

I don't know if it gets said often enough but I really, really hate the Australian cricket team.

Either way, just to be safe, please say it again.
