Ashes 2015 - Australia tour of England July/September 2015

Thank god Watson is gone..

Mitch marsh bowling well!! This test is ours weather permitting

That's a bit worrying about Rogers. Hope he's okay. Also worrying is Wood's drop in pace. It was noticeable in the second test against NZ and the same has happened in this test.

Warner looking on course to get the 100 he basically threw away in the 1st innings.

158-0

if England dont score big on this then i dont see us winning another test; even if we lose we must score big and have our top order filling their boots with runs and not their own excrement

 

[Dutch]

Dont want to be down but as an England fan I have the same mood I had during the last Ashes series: we are getting humiliated big time: if Aussie comes out and rolls us for 150 we better have a busload of pyschologists ready for the lads.........

 

[Markkkkk]

Dont worry England have Bell and we all know how he steps up at times like this...

 

[Markkkkk]

My idea scoreboard:

Lyth- 100
Cook- 0
Ballance - 50
Root- 200
Bell- anything
Stokes - 100
Buttler- 50
Anderson, Broad, Wood and Ali- 0

Only thing that saves something is a massive batting effort from the top order... Even if we lose we need to lose sometime after tea tomorrow....

I'm not counting England out. With their batting line up, I genuinely believe they can win the test.

I'd rather we lost going for it rather than trying to force a draw and lose. Top order need to perform, you're right.

Well that's one down. What's Marcus Trescothick up to these days?

 

[richowebbo]

oh Adam, what have you done?

 

[richowebbo]

doh. Get yourself in man. No problem going after shots later on the innings. Disgraceful batting.

 

[cooks1st100]

Oooh how exciting! It's a head to head gashtravaganza!
