ALerone 633 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Only a 4 day test so I doubt Root will declare at 500-5 now, prob declare at 350 or something Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always play pish at Lord's but that display is awful. Credit to Murtagh. 9 overs 2 maidens 5 for 13. I had to edit that as I had added 6 runs that he hadn't given to England.

Creampuff 22,628 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Okay, the pitch is green, but the surface was always looking like it was going to be decent to bat on once you saw off the first 30 overs. England look set for a fucking miserable day tomorrow as Ireland rack up runs on a flatter pitch while the seamers charge in 40 degree heat.

TEFTONG 60,060 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 18 wickets down on day 1. Edit. 19 and still 30 minutes to go. Both teams all out in the first day. Wonder if England will lose a wicket in the 1 over before close of play..? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creampuff 22,628 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Based on their tour game (against themselves) I’m not sure Australia will do much better. Hope no one has Day 5 tickets for an Ashes Test! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creampuff 22,628 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 If I’m in the Australia set-up my reaction to yesterday would be to give genuine consideration to picking Peter Siddle. He’s very experienced in English conditions, and is their most similar bowler to the type England appear to be struggling with. Fitting him in when you also have Starc, Haze, Cummins, Pattinson, and Lyon is another matter... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangersMedia 35,961 Posted July 26, 2019 Author Share Posted July 26, 2019 Easy days work for England, but....... Those conditions, played against a relatively weak batting side, bailed them out and papered over some huge cracks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creampuff 22,628 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 England squad for first Ashes Test: Joe Root (c), Moeen Ali, James Anderson, Jofra Archer, Jonny Bairstow, Stuart Broad, Rory Burns, Jos Butler, Sam Curran, Joe Denly, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, Olly Stone, Chris Woakes.

Creampuff 22,628 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I’d go: Jason Roy Joe Denly Joe Root Jonny Bairstow Jos Butler Ben Stokes Moeen Ali Chris Woakes Stuart Broad Jofra Archer James Anderson Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creampuff 22,628 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Rumours that Australia have dropped Mitchell Starc and will play Cummins-Pattinson-Hazlewood-Lyon in the first test. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEFTONG 60,060 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I think it's fair that Woakes starts tomorrow rather than Archer. No need to drop a guy on form with the guy who may not be 100% fit. I'm looking forward to it. How's the weather going to be..?? Just checked and the BBC say dry until Monday. But Google say showers Saturday and Sunday..

Creampuff 22,628 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Root moving up to three sounds good in principle (to break up the inexperienced players in the top order), but England will be looking real vulnerable if he goes first ball...
