2019 ASHES: 1st Test Australia v England, Edgbaston Aug 1-5

[Timbo]

Remember when Burns got 180 opening in literally the last test match we played.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

There's historically been a massive problem in this country with junior coaches all over teaching kids to get out forward to almost every ball

Unfortunately instead of producing a whole lot of Ricky Ponting's who played as such, the end result is mainly a generation of plodders like Cameron Bancroft being terrible as soon as there is a hint of any movement

If this is what England is doing, what sort of carnage will Siddle cause?

 

[Canard]

Anyone else think these numbers are shit

 

[WaznTheGreat]

The more i see of these plodders it makes me realise that Geoff Marsh scoring 8 of 300 balls wasn't so bad

Did he? I didn't know that. Oh well, better think about my selections for the second test...How's Shaun Marsh playing?

Dirk Whellam would be a god among this lot of plodders.

Random Souths Guy in the crowd.

Bring back Quiney! He was good for 9 runs at least.

 

[hineyrulz]

Lets hope the first of many the next 6 weeks.


Smiffy is away.

When he played for Oz, his sister taught me geography at school.

 

[Hutty1986]

I reckon we'd be stoked with 250 tbh

 

[Tommy Smith]

Dear Australia, it's no good getting rid of the cancer in your team (the Marsh's) if you replace them with a dose of Lou Gehrig's (Bancroft & Wade).

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Bring back Quiney! He was good for 9 runs at least.

The best damn scorer of 9 we've ever seen he was.

 

[hineyrulz]

He scored an Ashes 100 on debut, need the Admiral to do the same.

Dick Whellam had a nice turn of foot bruh

When you're 2 for f**k all and wade is padded up. The brown nosed gnome has lost the f**ken plot
