3rd Ashes Test: England v Australia at Birmingham on Jul 29-Aug 2, 2015

[Meapro Ham]

How can it possibly be that Johnson doesn't get a bowl until they are 1-47 chasing 120. Unbelievable. Clarke has lost the plot. Giving away a bunch of cheap runs off the spiinner before our main strike bowler even gets his hands on the ball. FFS Clarke.

merkins f**ked.

It's just absolutely ridiculous, particularly when Starc and Hazlewood's radars have been way off this match and you've got f*** all to defend.

Seems like every facet of Clarke's game has gone.

 

[JW]

The free wicket finally gone.

 

[Snappy]

Get Root quickly and poms will get the shakes

 

[some11]

I could handle a 5 wicket loss.

Don't know what Lehmann does from here though.

 

[Snappy]

for a moment thought that kids sign said something else

 

[Hutty1986]

Even a hundred more runs and we'd be a chance here. That first innings effort is so f*cking disgraceful.

 

[Rabbits20]

I can't get over that drop

I still can't.

We could have had England 3/51 instead of 2/51.

We could have had a slim chance and England may have got a little bit nervous.

It was a sitter to catch, Clarke just mustn't have been concentrating.

 

[Rabbits20]

The middle order needs to have a long hard look in the mirror

Our lower order "showed up" the top order once again!

I couldn't understand that either. Dumb choice!

I've been thinking exactly the same.

 

[LeedsRhinos]

Put back in your place, f**king domination, take that.

 

[JJ]

Who stunk more, Aust here or England in #2??

 

[ggmu]

Australia here for me. And they must have been bad cause England in the lords test was horrible.

 

[Twizzle]

Clarke saying we are playign with 10 players atm, referring to his own poor form

 

[Pete Cash]

Aus here. Our tail did fight their way to it not being a complete embarrassment but we were looking at an innings lost for much of the match.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Hopefully Clarke can conjure up a few more good innings to at least draw this series we well as Voges/Marsh(or whoever replaces them)

 

[Eelectrica]

Need Steve Smith to quit playing stupid get out shots as well.
After Lords I thought he was going to be the innings anchor at edgbaston, just stupid shots did him in when there was no reason for it.

The reality is we're not even half as good as we think we are.

 

[some11]

Put back in your place, f**king domination, take that.

A national disgrace.

Looks like the Ingerlund top order tbh - a bunch of merkins.
