Our best bowlers are past their best.

Our batsmen keep finding different ways of getting themselves out.

I am all for attacking cricket but in moderation and use your brain instead of trying to hit everything for six.

Quoted from Limerick Mariner
Bazball found out. Is this all a bit Keegan-like at Newcastle? We are just not thinking tactically at all. If Root fails Bazball fails when we are up against top class opposition.


Ultra positive and aggressive cricket isn’t just about trying to smack the ball to the ropes. You can be positive and aggressive in defence or in game management.
Despite 2 slow wickets we should have won the first test and we were in a dominant position at 188-1 in this and yet we will find ourselves 2-0 down and the Ashes will be done. This is because we weren’t ruthless enough when we had our foot on Australia’s throat.

Ben Stokes is carrying on the trend of England captains jeopardising Ben Stokes’ fitness!

We should bore them to death  now.

Our only chance is to leave the short ball never lift your bat and duck.

We have got loads of time there bowlers will get tired.

Or

Just play like we normally do and have a day off tomorrow.

Brook got a beauty from Cummings no blame on him nothing he could do.

Stupid from Bairstow and symptomatic of a dozy series so far.

But it’s really not in the spirit of the game and Australia should really have withdrawn the appeal - shouldn’t they?!

And people wonder why Smith and Warner still get booed. If two of your players have been banned for ball tampering, you’d think you’d try and operate on a higher moral level. But this is Australia after all. Wänkers.
