4th Ashes Test: England v Australia at Nottingham on Aug 6-10, 2015

If there was ever a time we could buy a 10th-wicket partnership such as the one Phil Hughes and Ashton Agar produced two years ago at this ground, now is the time.:lol:

 

[Canard]

Crazy field from England

It's like they have given up

 

[JJ]

Imagine these guys against Marshall, Garner or Ambrose??

They would be lucky to get to 5

Yeah, I was just thinking what Hadlee would do in these conditions

Horrible technique, and horrible inability to show any discipline - seriously, what were they thinking - you have to adapt and bat out some time

 

[Canard]

Poor over from Broad

No wicket maiden

 

[JW]

Thanks for the family update plastic man.

The boys sound thirsty back in Malbun.

which gets back to the whole point I brought earlier about the flat-tracks dished up.

Facing Marshall/Garner/Ambrose on a green-top 30yrs ago would make our team look like kindergarten students playing against men. You can also add Walsh/Bishop/Akram/Younis/Holding/Willis/Hadlee/Dev/Botham/Khan to that bowling list as well

 

[Canard]

England letting it slip here

 

[undertaker]

Good shot from Lyon.

More of those types of shots were desperately needed at least a few overs ago.

 

[Canard]

Obligatory AFL reference

Pizzas and a few frothies!!1!herpderp!

 

[Twizzle]

Lyon looking like a batsman

 

[TheParraboy]

We are clawing our way back here

9 down at stumps would be a reasonable comeback..

 

[undertaker]

What a call it was to take Voges over Burns, too. When will we stop picking old blokes who were never up to it?

This.

At 25, Burns was/is the future of this side and showed more than enough in his two tests vs India to book a ticket for the West Indies/England tours vs a 35 yr old who, although had been playing very well in Shield cricket, we would've only got 1-2yrs max out of in the test side.

Lyon and Johnson to open the batting next innings

Michael DiVenuto was a one day dasher, what in the hell would he know about playing a tough knock on a tough wicket with the ball hooping around???


7 down lol.

DiVenuto...there's a blast from the past.

 

[some11]

Hurry up and get out you mongs before the ball/pitch magically dies on us.

 

[Jason Maher]

Forgot this was on. Thank f**k I did. What in the f**king name of f**king f**k f**king happened?

 

[undertaker]

Lyon and Johnson to open the batting next innings

:lol:

With Voges/Marsh/Clarke batting at no 9-11.

I know it's a bowlers pitch but Broad 7/11 wow!!

I know it's a bowlers pitch but Broad 7/11 wow!!

If you've watched the batting it's really not that impressive.
