Starting by playing for the new ball is negative. They'll be on 270 by then and our hard work yesterday is almost wasted.

 

[yobbo84]

This is now the highest partnership of the innings.

I would say our bowling coach should be shot, but these kind of shit tactics have persisted from about thirteen different bowling coaches

What infuriates me is that they don't bowl short stuff to set them up for the yorker.

They just bowl short stuff in the hope of a top edge.

 

[hineyrulz]

The dumb gutless tactics continue.

SMH.

 

[85 Baby]

Starc & Cummins obviously trying to stay fresh for their inevitable batting sometime around lunch today

 

[Twizzle]

Why didn't we open with our best two bowlers ?

Then we wouldn't have needed the new ball. We're only using Green to bowl short shit at the moment.

 

[yobbo84]

FML this is South Sydney levels of attention to detail

 

[yobbo84]

16.5 hours between days and the brains trust came up with "let's just wait for the new ball and try to limit the runs"

Madness

 

[Desert Qlder]

Mummy’s boy Green doesn’t handle much pressure.

The amazing thing is these merkins still think these tactics are correct and work ffs!!

 

[hineyrulz]

The BOAT showing what a fraud he really is.

should stick to adultery.

 

[Twizzle]

This is dumb, these guys are playing themselves in while we wait for the new ball, then they'll be set.

Negative shit.

 

[hineyrulz]

Takes the new ball, field is spread all over the place. Gutless.

 

[Twizzle]

What a ball from Starc

 

[Twizzle]

This pitch is going to be so hard to bat on day 5

 

[hineyrulz]

We deserve to lose this.

 

[yobbo84]

Why was drinks taken early? Would've been nice to keep the pressure on for at least one more over.

 

[Chins]

Game drawn because we are cowards

 

[Fangs]

Game drawn because we are cowards

Let's win the Ashes first.

And win or draw it ends Bazball. A higher cause is present here.
