this going to be one of the best ever prepared Aussie teams for an Ashes series. World cup aside they've had another side over here for about 6-8 weeks playing warm-up games. Now a full practice match on a test pitch.
Lessons to be learnt for the ECBwho haven't sent a properly prepared team on an overseas tour for years

ok not wanting to cast doubt on integrity of English cricket but looks it's a dog of a wicket for this Aussie practice game
105 a/o and 95 for 6 day 1.

Olly Stone starts his first test match tomorrow

ugly batting line up when you've got Moeen at 6.

What’s before isn’t all that impressive either

The Denly experiment needs to be ended it’s too late for him to come in and push on players retire from international cricket at his age not start.

chiefdave · Jul 24, 2019

Nobody here is really staking a claim to being an essential member of the Ashes side at the moment.

Terry Gibson's perm · Jul 24, 2019

Michael holding has just said Burns doesn’t have the technique for test cricket I think he may be right.

They will go back to James Vince

chiefdave · Jul 24, 2019

Think Bairstow is still pissed!

Terry Gibson's perm · Jul 24, 2019

42-4 oh dear

Grendel · Jul 24, 2019

6 down!

Grendel · Jul 24, 2019

Make that 7

chiefdave · Jul 24, 2019

Someone check if Tim Murtagh has any English in his family tree!

Assuming the pitch isn't suspect, well even if it is to be honest, this is appalling.

He is English and he’s nearly 40

ccfc92 · Jul 24, 2019

All out for 85?

Not a massive cricket fan, but that's appalling right?

tisza · Jul 24, 2019

just pitiful.
trot out the post-worldcup hangover excuses.
it's a overaged county attack at best.

We used to play on the other side.

Terry Gibson's perm · Jul 24, 2019

Stone has struck back with a couple expect Broad to pick up now as the pressure will be coming quickly

Gazolba · Jul 24, 2019

Moeen, useless with the bat and not much better with the ball and yet keeps getting picked.

The Lurker · Jul 25, 2019

pure arrogance by England and root yesterday. I went down there. If that was against the Aussies and we won the toss we would have bowled so why playing against Ireland should we bat first on a pitch with plenty of green on? today hopefully will see a better composed england

Opening batsman issue sorted
Congratulations leach.

What the hell is going on?

batting remains a mess.
W Indies tour mk 2.
Some woeful dismissals showing a complete lack of mental strength necessary for Test cricket.
Plus when your line up has Ali at 6 (about 2 50s in last 2 years) you're in trouble.
Looking around County cricket and the cupboard is absolutely bare of batsmen suited for longer form of the game

Gazolba · Jul 26, 2019

No-one can tell me that Root is anywhere near a top batsman.
I'm not convinced by Burns or Denly either.
We'll be slaughtered by Australia.

You mean Joe Root, averages almost 50, ranked 6th in ICC test batting rankings isn’t “anywhere near a top batsman”?

Root is top quality.
Will agree about Burns and Denley.
Lack of top 5 batting options a general condemnation of failure of ECB and County structure.

It was always going to be a very tough chase. Hopefully England can see them out.
