Smith gone for 4 😭😭😭

Hes done a great job tbf ..... for the Aussies

Brook out caught behind. He survived a review on the previous ball, but he obviously fancies a couple of days off. Tbh it was coming from the moment he came out. All hopes on Stokes now. Smith walks out on a pair 😫😫😫

Cursed Root there 😭 I have to say Starc is different class.

Root gone, to the finest of edges. Fucking Starc again!!! 🤬🤬🤬

Brook scoring at a run a ball and looking risky, while Root looking to play himself in and is scoring at 3 runs an over. Its almost like Root knows what to do! 🤔

Crawley gone, another simple caught and bowled!

Spoke too soon! Pope gets lucky with a wild slash that just clears the slips, then is caught and bowled the very next ball off another wild slash. Schoolboy batting.

Perfect!

Played on to a daisy cutter. Not much he could do tbf. The wicket looks flat now, so we should put some runs on the board now 🙏

That's all 10 Aussie batsman reaching double figures!!!! If that doesn't show the way test matches should be played, they I dont know what does! We've been taught a lesson in how to play our own game here.

Starc is taking the piss, hes the only quality bowler they have, and he looked knackered yesterday. He grabs 6 wickets in our first innings, Then he comes out to bat at no9 and top scores!!! Another m.o.m performance from the pace bowler. Hes won the ashes on his own No Bazball bollocks off...

As I thought, there was easily 500 runs on that wicket. We failed to apply ourselves properly, and came up short.

That's not what stopped us scoring 500 runs and putting them under pressure and virtually making a defeat impossible. If you win the toss and choose to bat you need to post a decent total, especially against a fairly weak bowling attack.

The stats tell a story Every Australian got to double figures after playing themselves in. We lost 5 wickets for 4 runs. There's no argument.

If we'd of batted correctly we would have had a better first innings score. You simply cant defend losing 5 of your wickets for 4 runs against a pretty poor bowling attack (apart from Stark) Look how every Australian batsman contributed, even the tail so far. Then when you dont bowl well or...

2 were caught for nought nibbling at balls they shouldn't of been. And 2 were bowled for nought off balls that a village cricketer would of straight batted. Even Crawley who got to 76 threw his wicket away gifting a simple catch. Brookes dismissal was very poor, and Stokes ran himself out...

Exactly! We arnt even putting their batsmen under pressure, they can just sit tight and score off the bad balls (which have been numerous) Whatever the outcome of this match, England need to go back to basics.

For those people defending Bazball, its noticeable how every Australian batsman has played themselves in and got to double figures! In comparison, England lost 5 wickets for 4 runs!! Bazball should be used only when your settled at the crease and the ball has gone soft IMHO.

Jesus wept, that's gone straight through the slips! That's 5 catches not taken today! Well at least we know where we need to improve. Batting, Bowling and Catching!!!
