It could be because it's the Ashes that I thought it was grounded, it could be that it was a confirmed cheat , but this does look suspect . Did they actually look at the Zoomed in pic?

I looked yesterday and they were protecting Wood so he's ready for the next one. With Archer out it limits options, but apart from Tongue our attack looks a little one dimensional .

tin Posted June 30, 2023 Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 (edited) The ball’s doing a bit more this morning, but that is a shite shot from Brook. Starc could blow away our long tail now. Yet again, I’m left to bemoan our inability to ride through the tricky spells. Edited June 30, 2023 by tin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted June 30, 2023 Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 Stokes gets out to a decent ball and then the madness takes over again. What sort of shot is that from Brooks. We are trying to win this game aren't we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted June 30, 2023 Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 Keep not trying to be negative but if Brook had played that shot for my team in a T20 I wouldn’t have been too happy, it’s just a nothing shot with percentages all against you.

Super Posted June 30, 2023 Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 Especially when we are now into the tail. Just ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted June 30, 2023 Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 Ridiculous. At least with the hooks yesterday I could understand the thinking, if not the execution or timing. That from Brook is the sort of thing a tailender would be embarrassed by, and I hope he'll get a bollocking for it. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now JB is going to have to go for it, if we are going to be anywhere close to Australia. So frustrated by the shot selections Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, I didn’t have a problem with Pope yesterday, except if he’d played more T20 for his county he might have executed it better but some players aren’t looking at the chances of getting 4 or 6 runs compared to the chances of getting out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tin Posted June 30, 2023 Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 They’ve bowled well to be fair, Starc in particular. But Brook’s had a shocker and Bairstow’s was soft as shit. We still don’t have a plan for this short stuff either. You can be positive in defence, boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted June 30, 2023 Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 On the other side of the coin, I don't see us having the pace to do the same to them. They will bombard us 2nd innings, I doubt they will pitch much up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted June 30, 2023 Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 I reckon it was the constant short stuff and Broad getting hit that made Robinson go for Head then. This new tactic from Australia has changed the series and maybe Bazball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
