[Cricket] Ashes 2021-22

It's astounding to think these guys are earning well in excess of £500k a year plus trimmings, for being as competent as your average MP!

An awful lot of Tory MP'S are showing a very flat bat to very accurate bowling atm.

I wonder how many of these got into Australia by falsely claiming they were professional cricketers?

 

[PeterT]

The verdict with Bob Willis would have made for an interesting watch ….

 

[Si Gull]

All over. Disastrous. 10 wickets for 56!

 

[zefarelly]

Sack the lot of them, ****ing amateurs

Soon to be partying in No10

 

[Driver8]

Assume they all wanted to get an earlier flight home.

Embarrassing.

 

[Frutos]

68-0 to 124 all out, pathetic.

Edited and updated.

 

[banjo]

I only went out for a bit. What happened

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Usual.

 

[zefarelly]

Whilst the AUssies deserve their party it must be a bit of a hollow victory

Cronulla beach U 10's would have given them a sterner test

 

[maltaseagull]

So was suggesting we might get 150.

So right.

What was I thinking?

 

[Peter Grummit]

That was a "....pub's open, lads..." batting masterclass.

If you’re going to lose might as well get it over with.

Roll on the T20s starting next Saturday.

 

[zefarelly]

Oh well Glimmer of hope was fun, for a few minutes

I think its was just a camera reaction to a bit of glitter in a dog turd.

Jesus as woeful a batting display ever. Seems we have concentrated so much in the short forms of the game we have forgotten how to teach players to play test cricket

 

[franks brother]

Perhaps our cricket team can catch the same flight as Djokovic?

 

[amexer]

The way some of England players got out was an insult to supporters. Appreciate it is up to top order batters and Stokes hooking to deep square leg summed up attitude. Instead of showing fight Woakes and Robinson dismissals could have been on village green.

 

[The Fits]

Incredible. Serious questions need to be asked about the whole structure of English cricket. Our players are spineless and those with and real quality have gone backwards (except, oddly, Root). Do we even coach them?!

That would be a waste of resources, not much left after pay packets and travel expenses.

can't see any sponsors queueing up!

In cases like today’s dismissals, I really don’t think that argument holds up.

The crap shots on show, would have been crap shots in any form of the game.
