Ashes Discussion

[1910]

Neser 4/21

England 8/80. England no clue, I'd have six slips.

Great comeback from Neser.

Inglis tapping up to the bowler,

What does tapping up mean ? Never heard that expression before .

 

[Allo]

5 for Neser

 

[The True King]

Hope the English boys didn't eat too much at lunch because there's a quite a few pies on offer right now.

 

[Blindside Bronco]

Come on Aussies, come on, come on!

 

[Fitzy]

Marnus in Aussies think tank. Would have to think he is definitely next cab off the rank for skip. You never know if Head keeps doing what he did yesterday more often.

 

[Sproj]

Lyon is surely going to need to take some wickets this innongs

 

[Fitzy]

Get Gaz on and tell the crowd to start chanting nice Gary for **** sakes. This would be one of the most boring couple hours of cricket I have ever seen. Both cricket wise and atmosphere.

50 for Street in Aus A game

 

[The True King]

Lyon is surely going to need to take some wickets this innongs

The pitch isn't giving him much to work with plus he's also bowling to a L/R batting combination so his lack of threat is very understandable.

Our pace bowlers are supposed to take 2nd innings wickets so its unfair to expect Lyon to do something here.

[Battler]

Get Lyon off and Labu back on

 

[Fitzy]

Pat Cummins better fucken hope Hazlewood is injured or I’m calling for his fucken head 3 days in.

 

[Blindside Bronco]

Lyon is hopeless!!!

I thought Langer should’ve been sacked after losing two series to India at home, maybe losing two Gabba tests will see him gone?

I assume you've loaded up on England to win the first? They're good odds.

 

[BroncosFever]

Troubling signs, losing at the Gabba in two consecutive summers would be a big surprise

This score line shouldn’t surprise anyone.. apart from Adelaide this time last year, Australia has laboured big time with the ball in the second innings of Test matches over recent years.. even in tests we’ve won, we’ve taken a long time to get the job done.. As good as our bowling attack can be, they definitely have problems getting 10 wickets in the second innings..

Imo Starc & Lyon are a big reason for our struggles.. as good as Lyon has been, the one thing he hasn’t delivered is big hauls on the 4th & 5th days of tests when conditions and the situation of the match suggests he should.. Starc’s lack of control has so often seen him become a passenger and heaped the load on Cummins & Hazlewood
