This could backfire spectacularly Yeah, I’m surprised by the Broad call. It’s the first Ashes test, Warner will be itching a bit of having to face Broad. Big call to go with a bowling attack who have never bowled together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A real shame Jofra is injured too For me you need a spinner Incase you ever need to try and mix it up/tie down an end. I think we’ll see root bowl less even if he was only spinner as England will want to do everything they can ensure his back doesn’t get bad if he’s batting a long time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gakoe Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 Umpires are out with the light meter, it's looking like we won't even get a chance to have a bowl at them this evening. What a shite day, couldn't have gone worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it was the worst call tbh. Give credit to Aussies they have 3 world class quicks who are too good for this weak batting line up.

Hazelboy Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 (edited) I feel stupid, after listening to the pre series podcasts/ interviews I’d given myself a lot of false hope - the balls going to be better, the players are ready, all their families have been with them, Australia haven’t played for a year, the wickets like England, Starcs shit and shouldn’t be playing, 6 left handlers so broad will roll them over in no time, Cummins will struggling juggling captaincy and bowling etc etc In reality, it’s going to be an easy 4/5-0 win for the Aussies (weather dependant) Such a poor opening pair, dull, salty Seam attack and let’s be fair a pretty shit spinner, albeit one that’s never really given a chance! The big 4 from Australia will have a field day, I can even see Warner hitting runs. Edited December 8, 2021 by super slick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
