1st Ashes Test: England v Australia at Cardiff on Jul 8-12, 2015

[Twizzle]

well that was a piss poor effort

I think Australia could win the 2nd test without making any changes.

I really think that they are a better team than England but have been let down greatly by a weak build up and poor planning to compensate for it.

Australia have come off an absolute cakewalk in the caribbean while England came through a very tough 2 test series against NZ.

I think they've been caught on the hop a little but I expect them to get better as the series goes on.

I'm not advocating they don't make any changes... Obviously you want to put your best team out there.

But I think there will be improvement in this side with whoever they put out there.

 

[Twizzle]

We've become used to carrying Watson but I think we would be so much better off with MMarsh, he was the form batsman in the warm up games and that includes everyone in our top 7, some commentators even had him in the team at 6 instead of Voges.

 

[Rabbits20]

Bye bye Watto!

Surely M.Marsh has to replace him for Lords.

Clarke needs runs in the next test, he must stand up!

Johnson scoring runs will hopefully give him more confidence bowling.

Johnson was unlucky to not get more wickets in this test.

 

[The yak]

Well done England played a lot better than I thought.

 

[benched tiger]

How many times do you see a wicket with a little variation in it and our batsmen turn into Jim Higgs ?

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Australia won't win this series or even draw it because they will wait too late to make changes and than expect the newcomers to get them out of trouble,the series will be something like 2-0 before they decide tot take action,guys like Haddin and Watson should be dropped right now(Haddin isn't out of form,he's completely washed up)

England got dis

 

[WaznTheGreat]

And why has Lehmann and Clarke never had a word to Watson about wasting all the reviews? there both a wimps

 

[Twizzle]

how do you they they haven't ?

 

[WaznTheGreat]

how do you they they haven't ?

Because he keeps on using the DRS,so either they haven't said anything or Watto has ignored them,ignoring a superior is a sackable offence(yet he still in the team)

Judge Judy 1
Clarke + Lehmann 0

 

[Snappy]

We're putting you in your place as a minnow sporting nation.

Yes but we've got our confidence sky high and Australia are batting like they have the past 3 series they lost here, they give their wickets away.

Just face it you're being outclassed and having arrived as massive favourites you're going home without the urn.

Gotta credit these Aussies, they're good guys they're making sure the game is basically over before their countrymen go to bed for the night.
