Genuinely how bad is this English batting?

Half the guys playing shield cricket would be better than 3 of their top 6.

Buttler is going down soon.

Buttler is going down soon.

At the Gabba he went with this counter attacking approach, the way he is going at the moment it's only a matter of time until he gets one with his name on it

Ben Stokes in the same category I reckon, too many white ball batsmen in this English team for my liking

EDIT: He's out

This English team is so trash. Play at balls they do not need to consistently

 

[BroncsFan]

Feel like Richardson hasn't been able to find his length today.

Reckon he's been too full for his skiddy style and I dont know why they are now throwing the field back, because I'm not sure he can be a bang it in intermediating bowler.

If play had gone through last night I think he probably picks up 1-2 wickets, but he's looked off today unfortunately

Robinson is cooked too. Edge waiting to happen.

If Green can't bat at 6, he shouldn't be in the team. He has had 2 innings, he will be given the entire series. If we get to a point of picking him to bat 7, I'd go with Neser ahead of him for that role.

Disagree. He can bat 7 while we have Carey. Especially while he is contributing like he is with the ball. He doesn't have to bat 6 to justify his place.

Haven't you heard? Lyon sucks and finger spin doesn't work.

Yeah I thought they said he could bat... he looks a bunny as well

 

[BroncsFan]

FFS put at least 1 on their stumps

 

[BroncsFan]

Two biggest bunnies in world cricket and we have decided to take the stumps out of the equation

 

[BroncsFan]

Are we seriously batting again??

We should absolutely be forcing the follow on

Make England start their innings in the worst time to bat and the new ball will be due tomorrow evening which will be a horrible time to bat.

Us batting again means we are voluntarily taking on one of the worst times to bat, hoping we make some runs (over 2 fucking sessions) just to put them back in at the same time tomorrow night and hoping we arent relying on taking the final wickets on day 5 evening session... and also hoping that we have a new ball in the day 5 evening session

 

[BooKhaki]

Smith showing why I said he is a shit captain. Should have enforced the follow on.

 

[BroncsFan]

**** me this looks an absolute horrible call to bat again.

Harris is a walking wicket and our best bats are 2, 3 and 4.

If we are even 2-3 down tonight then it will be a horrendous decision

 

[tommy]

Hope we lose.

 

[broncos4life]

How in the actual **** are we not enforcing the follow on? If you are going to make Smith the captain again and if he is still going to make shit fucking calls then the coach needs to step in.

Ridiculous fucking decision.

 

[ZTop]

Yeh all your whinging ended well. Shows why you are all the captain's of Australia

 

[BroncosFever]

It would be so Marcus Harris to make some runs now that the game is well and truly under our control and it would be so Justin Langer to let him hold his spot in a winning team

When is this bloke going to make a contribution to help us set up a test? This game is basically over

5 posts in a row critising the follow on.

Our bowlers are all clearly tired. Tonk the ball around for another 200 runs and that's game
