The Ashes - TEST 2

[Andy_W]

Unbelievable
The Aussies are just cleverer than us. Short balls tempting us and dosy duckett gone
Root would’ve gone but for a no ball

Just a matter of time before brooks goes

Bazball ?

StupidBall more like…Aussies have got this totally sussed
What a pack of idiots England are

They're not cleverer, they just effectively cheating now.

That last over there were at least 3 short balls that over, possibly 4, they're only meant to have two at or above armpit height.

How else are we meant to score?

Why is it that England are batting better than the Aussies did?

Due to them being idiots?

Of course they're not cheating, don't be so daft.

 

[Norman_Conquest]

This is just a ridiculous pair of batters.

I cannot believe what I’m seeing
England don’t want to win
They just want to play the way they want if if they win great
What a joke strategy

yeah just wait for us to do something stupid and get ourselves out. Brainless cricket really.

Will you two do me a favour, would you drop KP a line because he's just said what they (our batsmen) are doing is the right thing, it was just the execution of the shot which was wrong.

 

[Andy_W]

Of course they're not cheating, don't be so daft.

Seems to me like they're doing a lot more than the permitted two short balls per over.

They only need to be shoulder height at the crease.

 

[MichaelDebeve]

The Aussies were 198 - 3 off 54.2 overs, we lost our third wicket with the score similar to theirs 208-3 off 42.2 overs and a higher scoring rate.

Less of the positive posts please

 

[breakthewallsdown]

Another stupid shot selection, anti cricket from Australia like

 

[BoroJake]

Absolutely stupid

 

[MichaelDebeve]

Tempted them in again

 

[breakthewallsdown]

That’s hit the ground that

 

[Andy_W]

1/6 way over his head (unreachable, should have been a wide)
2/6 ok, top of stumps
3/6 ball rolled along the grass, ball would have went over his shoulder

 

[Norman_Conquest]

That's a great catch by Smith, he's took that shot really low.

 

[Corcaigh_the_Cat]

Seems to me like they're doing a lot more than the permitted two short balls per over.

They only need to be shoulder height at the crease.

The umpire would be calling it if that were the case.

 

[BoroJake]

Was that not on the grass?

 

[alvez_49]

**** sake, there you go it's the F***ing hope that kills you.

Just **** shot choices and playing into their hands

 

[Andy_W]

How was that out, it was only the ground which kept it in his hands?

Just bay them away for 10 overs and tire the bowlers out
That’s how but the ego’s are massive
IDIOTS

 

[Linny]

Collapse coming.

 

[Ex Footy Legs]

Root gone.
I can’t and won’t watch this Shyte.

Stokes and brooks will be gone in 30 mins.

England lucky to get 300 here

Pack of utter idiots throwing away the series

 

[Andy_W]

That looked like 4 short balls that over too. Balls 1,3,5,6
