Boxing Day ashes 3 rd test at the MCG starts at 11pm

[Norman_Conquest]

To be fair to the players, especially the batsman the preparation has not been the normal tour matches etc. I've only heard a couple of people mention this fact. Mark Taylor and David Gower eluded to this just before Stokes got bowled about his red ball cricket and lack of. It's a sorry state of affairs, but it is what it is, and our boys were and are onto a hiding to nothing from the get go.

I said before they decided to go that they should cancel this series because of the lack of test cricket played and the lack of preparation they would have when they got there.

You can’t take that long to give a lbw unless your not sure.

 

[Norman_Conquest]

This will be all over before lunch.

Well that's you and my brother in-law, shame the cricketing authorities hadn't got the b+lls!

 

[Norman_Conquest]

Drinks will take longer than what our batting innings take.

All about money.

It doesn't help having that whinging miserable git Matt Smith as the main man in the studio.

 

[Norman_Conquest]

Boland has great bowling figures on his home ground 5 - 5 on his test debut.

Just when you think we can't embarrass ourselves any further

 

[Mwelolo]

Good Lord

 

[Kosovo]

At least we will get to bed earlier

 

[Norman_Conquest]

Make that 5 - 6.

 

[sambaDTR]

Is this the worst England side ever?

 

[tripleheader]

No words.....

 

[Mwelolo]

Can we sink any lower?

 

[Norman_Conquest]

All over

 

[Kosovo]

That sums it up. So called batsman takes a single and leaves no.11 to face 3 balls. No fight in them

 

[Erimus11]

Is this the worst England side ever?

Certainly one of our worst ever batting sides and probably most under prepared

 

[Ignore_Alien_Orders]

Just 267 in their first innings and they still win by an innings and 14 runs. Mind you nine times out of ten we always do bad down under.

Time for silverwood to be given his marching orders

 

[El Guapo]

Silverwood has to go
