The Ashes 2023

5 days is a long time. You don't have to take on every short ball every time.

They are scoring at 4.5 an over, they don't need to keep taking risks. You get over 400 in a day at that scoring rate!

I agree but still a good innings, he's a becoming a v good opener

Bit like leg theory this

Bowlers are going to be knackered banging it in though without Lyon to hold up an end

 

[roydo]

Just stop taking it on ffs. Play for singles/2 till Aussie blows themselves out.

 

[roydo]

Christ.

 

[ste d' indica]

Well executed that, they built it, Root fell for it.

 

[Rita_Poon]

idiocy, sheer madness. utter fools. keep swinging for the boundaries boyo's it'll all be done by stumps.

Eejits!

 

[Connor]

LEAVE THE SHORT BALL ALONE

 

[Ducans elbow]

Just stop taking it on ffs. Play for singles/2 till Aussie blows themselves out.

Should of listened to you mate

 

[steven]

Hell of a catch.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Not entertaining cricket this. Everyone in the ground knows the Aussie plan and they keep falling for it.

This is daft cricket, not entertainment. And will end up on the end of a heavy series defeat.

 

[StreetEndBlue]

Absolute brainless play in the last half hour from a one dimensional side.

The Aussies put out the cheese and we've walked straight into their trap.

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Listening to TMS overseas, the exasperation is tangible.

 

[ToffeeTim]

They have no spinner. They are bowling short constantly.

Have some patience and let them tire themselves out. Play some proper test cricket

 

[Charro]

Not entertaining cricket this. Everyone in the ground knows the Aussie plan and they keep falling for it.

You are right.

You can be positive and entertaining without being plain dumb.

 

[Kev The Rat]

Don’t see the logic is playing like this

Still 200 behind ffs. This will be over in 4 days if this carries on
