5TH ASHES TEST: @ The Oval London July 26-30, 2023

[undertaker]

When is Murphy going to be brought on???

 

[Bazal]

Starc cops it but nothing about his skipper not setting field for him early.

Deadset sweepers from ball one should be a deportable offence.

Carey's drop costly too

 

[Bazal]

Super annoying session. Three drops, pathetic field settings, probably gave up 60 free runs between dropped catches and gift singles

Could have just as easily been 5/90

 

[Eelectrica]

Advantage England. We fought back, but winning the toss and bowling, gotta be switched on. Just can't let chances slip like that.

 

[Hutty1986]

They'll make this overrated attack pay you'd think

 

[some11]

Throwing away an outright ashes win, you beauty!

 

[mozza91]

Cummins is a great bowler and a legitimate hot boy but he’s a hopeless tactician. Worst Test captain in recent memory.

Genuine chance he goes down as the worst tactical captain we've ever had.

Replace him before he f**ks his superstar legacy IMO

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Starc and Hazelwood were crud with the new ball. Horrendous drops by Warner and Carey. Should have had these tin merchants 5 for 80 odd.

Our fielding has gone so far down hill in recent years

 

[Chins get the wins]

Yeah captaining the side to world champions what a bum. It's not the 70s the coaches set the fields and plans

Yawn

 

[Hutty1986]

The missed runouts and dropped catches continue to pile up for captain derp

 

[hineyrulz]

Bowling was fine

This field is not. There's a difference. Bowl first and look for wickets, the swing is there. We're just giving them singles

Whats the point of bowling first with these fields?? Cummins is the worst captain i'ver ever seen. So much for changing the bowling plans. They are all cooked.

 

[gUt]

Get the merkin off, get on with it you twats

 

[hineyrulz]

lol imagine sending the opposition in on a deck like this. Ridiculous.

 

[icewind]

Sooo.... captains who let the coaches dictate field after the 80s?

Mark Taylor
Michael Clarke
even Ricky

Really, ya think???

What a joke.

Even Adam Gilchrist & Shane Watson

Both in their one off matches as captain put THEIR stamp on the game. (yes they both lost, and in Watto's case, questionable decision making, but the point stands).

 

[Hutty1986]

This is f**king embarrassing

 

[some11]

Hey look, we're throwing away another game. Shocker.

 

[jargan83]

Moeen making Cummins look as bald as Mary.

 

[gUt]

Why are these merkins smirking with the run rate over 5 and chances being spilled every other over.
