spongebob toonpants 5193 Posted December 5 Share Posted December 5 This is where Stokes and Brook have really cost England. They've allowed Aus to bat during the easiest part of the day and now we are going to start our second innings in the twilight It looks like we're cooked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinRobin 14503 Posted December 6 Share Posted December 6 Just really poor all round. Bowling, field placing, and catching. 5-0 incoming, 🙁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 26353 Posted December 6 Share Posted December 6 This couldn’t have gone any worse could it. 177 run deficit, Starc taking the ball at the most difficult time of day to bat. Out batters unable to bat time. The Aussies will probably wrap it up this evening 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkshireExile 90 Posted December 6 Share Posted December 6 The worst thing about the ashes down under is waking up every morning with the hope that England might have had a good first couple of sessions, only to have them dashed the minute you see the score. This test is even worse cos you get to see them being taken to the clearners under the lights. WTF were Pope and Crawley doing giving away two easy C&B's? All they've got to do is get through the evening and push on tomorrow so just bloody block! Oh great, and now we have Brook with his mindless thrashing. 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But aye, as you say, one of the commentators wouldn't drop it today and I think Cook basically shut him down saying "eventually you have to believe the evidence of your eyes". But really they should have been looking into wtf was creating that sound if not ball on bat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
