4th ASHES TEST: @ Old Trafford, Manchester July 19-23, 2023

[undertaker]

A bit of luck there for Labuschagne.

 

[BunniesMan]

Smith is an epic batsman overall and he is great when the goal is scoring runs. But the one weakness in him is he has never showed a lot when trying to save a test. He does not seem to have the temperament to survive hours and hours

Inside the final half hour for the day

The Aussies are folding, they're cooked!

They can't win in England, they all mocked Bazball now we're ramming it down their throats!

 

[undertaker]

Pathetic shot from Head

 

[Mr. Shaman]

My pre-series prediction of losing at Leeds and Manchester is coming true.

 

[Slackboy72]

ffs

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Bison is our smartest batsmen ffs

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Who'd have thought losing a bald man for the series could derail a team so badly.

I hope it doesn't rain. We deserve to lose.

Incredibly impressive from England

Steve Waugh used to talk about mental disintegration…

 

[hineyrulz]

As good as England have been we've been pathetic, this playing not to lose Mantra is working a treat. Heads need to roll.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Impossible to bowl out a team with 3 front line bowlers. The whole reason Australia has been obsessed with finding an allrounder is to give their 4 main bowlers a rest not to be first or second change. And Marsh and Head are part timers at best.

Australia has always played to win, not draw. Mcdonald and Vettori and co need to be drawn over the coals for their tactics.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Fatty Bairstow was the 7th man in test history to be stranded on 99 not out.

Honestly England haven't even been that good.

It's the most spectacular implosion from captain Paddy. To the point that you'd almost replace him straight away if you had a half competent setup. No doubt he's a superstar cricketer but he makes Tim Paine look like Steve Waugh as a captain

Unfair on both England and Cummins imo…

this isn’t the first time they’ve played like this, and Cummins isn’t the Lone Ranger here, lots of experience on field and an extensive coaching team…

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Alright. It is midnight and I am semi drunk and I am going to the kebab shop around the corner here in Newtown. By the time I get back we better not have lost any wickets

Translation: After numerous shit takes I am pretending to be drunk to justify them so I will go buy a late night kebab for the thrill of potentially getting spitty bum. But before I go I will leave you with another shit take.

@SLRBRONCOS translate please

 

[JokerEel]

Gee there needs to be some changes after this especially who the captain and coach are...

Fair play to England. They've got inside our heads. We keep saying we're playing our game and not letting baz ball influencing us. The reality is we're not playing our game, we're playing exactly how England want us to play.
England deserve the win on this one.

We do not deserve to retain the ashes on a draw this game.

 

[Fangs]

Not related but a man named George Balderson is playing for Lancashire at the moment. Scored 116* in the first innings and took 2-27 in the second.
