2019 ASHES: 4th Test Australia v England, Old Trafford Sept 4-9

Archer bowling Siddle pace

 

[Haffa]

Need to get to at least 400 to put England under immense pressure.

We're definitely not in a position at the moment to unleash Starc/Cummins/Hazlewood.

I think 350 should be enough to not lose but wtf do I know I’m no Tim Paine.

The medium pacer is back on

It's amazing how the 92-96mph bowling has vanished out of thin air over the past two weeks.

Any talk of declarations after the last test is outrageous.

Tripe!

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Pissweak peahearted trundler. Typical of a guy who dogs his struggling home nation

 

[Sphagnum]

Surprised broad hasn't started complaining about the ball already

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

Save your legs!!!

With Smith in this match, absolutely no way will Paine repeat the same mistakes regarding defensive field placements. That's where we missed Smith's on-field presence in the dying moments of the Headingley test. He definitely would've got into Paine's ear had he been playing.

Glorious!! Nice way to bring up the 300.

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

Some sweet leg side pies. Thanks pal.

 

[undertaker]

Has Archer become the reincarnation of Siddle? Dropping down to 77mph bananas. Maybe he's become vegan as well!

Its the flog off ninja warrior

Smithy may as well bat out the rest of the series. Two draws is enough to retain the ashes. Just let him keep batting till he runs out of partners.

Root is the Tim Paine of captains

Or until they run out of Duke balls for him to smash the cover off.

Well, I wasn't calling for a declaration lol. All Im saying is that 300 is a good enough 1st innings total to feel safe about going into bowl against this mob with our attack, now that the selectors have seen the light and opted for a lefty in Starc. 350 is a par score for Old Trafford in 1st innings, but I'm confident we're gonna roll these koontz with the ball so 300 was minimum requirement, everything else from here is cherry on top.

Smiffy into the nervous 140's.

 

[Meapro Ham]

Smith into the nervous 140s. That was actually pretty funny from Athers

Hush yo’ mouff!!
