[WaznTheGreat]

Rod Marsh > Shane Warne

 

[TheParraboy]

follow on?

 

[TheParraboy]

Siddle the magnificent back to skittle the tail

 

[TheParraboy]

Ali no idea against PS

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Marsh you donkey

 

[TheParraboy]

Marsh wicket but a no ball, you fool, would be on 4/12

 

[Pete Cash]

Stop bowling no balls

 

[TheParraboy]

stumps day 2

poms 374 behind

8/107

 

[Canard]

Do we win the series with Siddle??

 

[ggmu]

Haven't watched any of the match yet but it would seem the poms don't give a f**k. Also from what I've read it seems like the Aussie finally figured that you can leave the ball in test cricket.

 

[Twizzle]

If only MMarsh could bat as well as he bowls.

Normal order has been resumed but all too late, where the f**k was this form a month a go

 

[hineyrulz]

How the f**k did we lose to these Pommy Plodders????

Disgraceful series from two average teams.

 

[TheParraboy]

Do we win the series with Siddle??

don't think so, no where near it

Maybe 1 or 2 tests would have been a bit closer, but poms still regain the ashes easily for mine

If we batted cautiously in the first session in every test we played in (like we did on day 1 here), then id most likely say we retain the ashes

Other than Rogers (in the tests we have lost) in the top order, the others led us down, this is where we lost the urn

 

[Tommy Smith]

Motherf**king endless LOLs at Australia for losing to the worst England team in Ashes history to ever grace their own shores. And more LOLs at losing to an England team with such a criminally bad batting line up.

Seriously, Lyth, a past his best Cook, a well last his best Bell, Bairstow/Ballance, Buttler... absolute plodder central and Australia got smacked in 3 of 4 live tests. I just can't fathom it. Did I mention Adam f**king Lyth?

Where's that Nun with the bell from Game of Thrones when you need her?

Shame! Shame! Shame!

The only one he could have made a difference was the first test and that test was already influenced by Haddin's drop.

Root I can believe might have motivational issues but half those batsmen are playing for their careers potentially.
