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

[undertaker]

Well at least I'm not going to be up late tonight.

What the hell happened to our batting in the last few months? It's not like we're facing unplayable bowling on mine fields...it's a reasonable attack, but not one that should worry us if we apply ourselves...FFS

It would've helped if we had played on better pitches last summer than dish out flat tracks for the BCCI.

 

[chigurh]

The run rate is pretty good though

 

[Johnnie Red]

So far I can see 2 positives...

1. The strike rate is good
2. We still have both of our referrals

 

[BunniesMan]

How many blokes in this team have mediocre 1st class averages batting on Aussie roads. What chance have they got of making decent scores in English conditions.

This will need a legendary captains knock.

[TheParraboy]

7.5 per over we should reach 500+ easily today...

 

[some11]

Lowest test score ever coming up?

 

[JW]

Oh Darsh you were no chance.

 

[undertaker]

Marsh with another duck!

4-down in the 3rd over. Never seen such a terrible start from the Aussies in 20yrs of watching cricket.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Darsh!!

Darsh! !!!!

 

[AusKnightRKO]

Bye bye Darsh

 

[hineyrulz]

Who ever won the toss wins the match

We won the toss last match.

4 down, jesus tap dancing Christ. We weren't this bad against the great windies sides of the 80's.

When I turned on the tv I thought they were showing wicket highlights from the previous game...

What a mess.

 

[Bazal]

sorry, but all I can do is :lol: :lol:

Really just no idea, technically not up to it in these conditions

Marsh is the first one undone by technique...the other three were undone mentally. Poor shots, poor judgement.

Marsh can f**k off, why do they keep picking him? Why is Joe Burns not over there? He might not be any better but at least he has a future.

I'm genuinely irritated as a cricketer because this bowling is nothing special at the moment

How many blokes in this team have mediocre 1st class averages batting on Aussie roads. .

That's a by-product of the crap pitches that have been dished up in Australia for at least a decade, as well as the crap Kookaburra balls that are used (compared to the Dukes in UK, which swing more, last longer and don't ping off the bat like the Kookaburra's do)

 

[Twizzle]

no wonder they sent us in, gonna be near impossible to bat on this

 

[JW]

Just declare now and get the Poms in FFS.

 

[ggmu]

We aiming for a 2 day test this time

 

[AusKnightRKO]

Well The platform is set for a Game saving Innings from Captain Clarkie.. Will score 165+ Voges to Score 95.

 

[Snappy]

will be lucky to make 30
