The Ashes (Australia tour of England)

[Dutch]

Lazy cricket from Butler again. I know you have to watch out for chopping and changing but you cant just be in a side because of potentially being able to get runs: at a certain point you do have to actually start getting them!

Where on earth is Sam Curran? Injured or form issues?

Time for a Chris Woakes double hundred.

Its really bad this it really is, really bad. We have no one who can actually bat consistently in the top six!

 

[Yorkshireman]

Shambles yet again.

How long until actual changes have to actually happen?

One word: Chris Woakes.

Not until Bayliss goes.

Those are two words.[DOUBLEPOST=1565881753][/DOUBLEPOST]England have a lot of players who seem to get a little complacent after they get starts. Trevor Bayliss needs to find a way to drill into them that they have to remain focused.

Unpopular opinion: Hazlewood is a much better test match bowler than Starc

Unpopular opinion? People must be really stupid if they think otherwise. Starc is an overrated bowler in test cricket. He is an absolute gun in limited overs but I can't say the same about test cricket.

And Archer is welcomed to test cricket with some chin music...

Better than Roy! Move ‘im up!

The problem with the openers is that an Alistair Cook wouldn’t get into the county setup. At an U12 county trial, I could see the frustration in the selectors when a batsman wasn’t playing big T20 shots from the get-go as that is the main format at that age. Selectors are not willing to plan for the future!
