5th Ashes Test: Australia v England at the SCG, Jan 4-8 2018

How on Earth did he think that was worth a review? That might be the worst review I've ever seen, there is absolutely no way he doesn't know he's gloved that, it's almost broken his f**king thumb!

 

[Eelectrica]

Pitch one up Patty, they'll never expect it.

 

[King hit]

Our selectors do deserve some credit. They made some big decisions that weren’t popular before the first test and during the series and they have paid off with a big series victory.

Former English allrounder Ian Botham has slammed Australia's batsmen as the worst he has seen in 40 years.

"I think this Australian batting line-up is the worst I have ever seen in modern times," Botham said.

"You have to go back to the late 70s with the Packer split to have seen a worse Australian line-up. I'm not that bothered (about them)."

Do they though? I mean yeah, Darsh Squared has scored runs, but this England side has been abysmal for the most part.

 

[Eelectrica]

If our batting team is the worst since the 70's what does that say about their bowling attack.
Worst since dinosaurs walked the earth?

The Marsh brothers were criticised by everyone but they have proved people wrong regardless of the opposition. Before the first test people were going wtf when they saw Paines name but he has kept beautifully.

I don't think anyone but LesbianTrain doubted Paine's ability as a keeper, it was more a "WTF" selection because he wasn't even playing for his state.

As for the Marsh brothers, well done to them, they scored buckets. But I'm under no illusions as to the quality of the side they faced and I don't think they've proved that much yet. Shaun especially did what he has always done, he's never been a bad cricketer.

The England bowling unit apart from Anderson who has a respectable series average of 27 has been impotent.
Lets see how the March brothers go against South Africa or against India in India. Or better yet when we are 4/56 and under immense pressure.

Pretty much my thoughts exactly. They've done very well against an opponent that had nothing, but lets not get carried away

 

[Eelectrica]

I think we all know the true test is against SA against their attack.

We don't have a whole lot of batsmen knocking down the door though. Bancroft was and hasn't quite lived up to the hype.

I guess we could petition the ICC to reduce the game to 7 a side so we don't have to try to find too many batsmen. Not sure how that will go.

 

[King hit]

Great shot by Curran. Batting quite well here.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Lol, patting the selectors on the back.

Last year they picked Renshaw, Hanscombe and Wade.

All 3 have been replaced.

They got lucky with MMarsh, lets see how he goes in the next year before we suck his sav.

 

[Hutty1986]

Just pitch it up m8

 

[Twizzle]

Our selectors were due to get something right, they have been terrible for a long time

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Anderson might be a merkin but he's been my merkin.

I'll miss him.

I think Renshaw and probably Handscombe will eventually be back in the team and be better for it. Just got sort some issues out.
Same with Bancroft.

We're a team in rebuilding mode really, have been for a while. Just going to have to take the good with the bad.

Less said about Wade the better.

Botham is such a clueless moron. But at least he is entertaining.

 

[Hutty1986]

Hahaha no reviews Anderson ya farkwit

 

[Twizzle]

Jimmy not happy with that decision

Already burnt all their reviews
