[Cricket] England Cricket - Can we play the Aussies again please (as they’re easier)....

[larus]

Currently 18-6 11.1 overs v New Zealand.

 

[Pavilionaire]

I've just switched on the telly and England are 35-9. Speechless.

 

[larus]

Rear-guard fight-back. 40-9. Bring it on.

 

[larus]

51-9. Overton 26 n.o. Just hit a 6 to beat our lowest score ever.

 

[Pavilionaire]

58ao. 20 overs, 2 bowlers. 5 ducks, Overton 33 n.o.

Well played

It's a shame the ground is practically empty and the was no one there to witness a great bowling display.

This match is yet another nail in the coffin of test cricket. It will be over inside 2 days.

 

[larus]

Well played

Wait until both teams have batted

There’s not really many places where Test cricket is still really popular. Even in India it’s driven by T20 now. Real shame as they are 2 totally different games (it’s like 5-a-side v normal football).

 

[Pavilionaire]

There should have been a run out in the first over, Malan dropped one at second slip and there's been an edge between the slips, so England creating chances.

Overton made batting look easy, can't believe he's a no.9.

Ravel's out always thought he would struggle against quality opposition.

Wow! Was considering staying up and watching last night. Rather glad I didn't bother now. Shocking card. Root, Stokes, Bairstow, Ali and Broad all failing to trouble the scorer. You'd've got some odds on that

Reinforces the view that a lot of England players have the wrong mindset for Test cricket and think they are better than they really are. This debacle shows that we have to go back to basics and get rid of certain players that have been flattering to deceive for too long. NINE ENGLAND PLAYERS GOT 14 RUNS BETWEEN THEM!!!!! We have put up with these type of limp submissions and the excuses that follow for far too long.
p.s Can't be that difficult...Kane Williamson has currently got more than the whole England team put together. ( Stop Press....shock...horror....Broad takes wicket )

Well not on Broad and Ali.....they are serial " noughters "....and both lack any backbone for a fight.

Sometimes I think I would be great to be able to say " Only Joking ... Can we start again as we didn't realise you lot were going to take this seriously? "

Spotted a chap in an Albion shirt watching the cricket in the stands this morning...anyone else see him?
Did take a photo but it wont upload on here for some reason.

Shocking - hope we get stuffed by an Innings & plenty, might be a wake up call to those in charge.

 

[Fignon's Ponytail]

Managed to do it...anyone know him at all?

It didn't seem to make much difference after the Australia debacle/tour.

The problem is that we are very restricted as to possibles to take the places of the failures that would improve us.
