Well this is a pile of shite isn't it.
I have to say I have very very low expectations for this England side when batting.Well this is a pile of shite isn't it.
He'd be better than Roy of course but he was done long before he actually retired.This series should be a great advert for Test Cricket and the emergence of Archer would have made it just that.
But now, what is this going to do to the future of the greatest form of the game?
feck that T20 shit
Any chance we could get Cook to come back for the last couple of Tests?
Need 150 lead?Aussies should enforce the follow on.
There was a time when you weren't allowed to bowl short at a tailender. It's not really cricket, is it? You couldn't bowl more than a couple an over, back in the day, to anyone.The short ball stuff to tailenders is a bit weird, send a few down sure but every ball felt unnecessary.
I think they need to review the follow on rule. Make it percentage based rather than 200 runs.Aussies should enforce the follow on.

If the first innings score is below 200, then I think the rule was that you've to go past half the runs or something to avoid follow on. Might have changed.Need 150 lead?
That over was better from Hazelwood, Cummins was just banging it in short and wasn't even trying to set up anything else.There was a time when you weren't allowed to bowl short at a tailender. It's not really cricket, is it? You couldn't bowl more than a couple an over, back in the day, to anyone.
By all means tie him in knots with a Yorker, or some vicious spin, but don't bowl a bouncer at a player who doesn't have skills to defend himself.
Nope I'm wrong.If the first innings score is below 200, then I think the rule was that you've to go past half the runs or something to avoid follow on. Might have changed.
England have their lowest score in the Ashes since 1948, and their lowest ever at Headingley!
Should have just quit after the World Cup though I imagine he felt obligated to stay on.Bayliss already sounds like he doesn't give a solitary shit about Test cricket.
I cannot imagine how half arsed he'll now be when coaching over 2 dead rubbers before he leaves.
Bet he phones in sick for the 5th Test.
They can't.Aussies should enforce the follow on.
Should be on an over limit for this innings, 4-5 over spells max.We're just asking for Archer to get injured.
Bowled 44 overs in his first ever test match, and now he's going to spend almost 2 full days bowling again.
Aye, he needs to look after himself.Should be on an over limit for this innings, 4-5 over spells max.
Was a time when Warner would crush teams in this 3rd innings position.Warner on for a century here.
Not against England no.Warner has never scored a 100 in England has he?
