Someone should be sacked!!!

by **RAY52** » Thu Aug 01, 2019 3:03 pm

Warner, poetic justice. Nicked the bottom of his bat, only Bairstow appealed. Umpire gives not out, should have reviewed. Shortly afterwards, given out LBW, should have reviewed, would have missed off stump

by **PJPoolie** » Thu Aug 01, 2019 3:54 pm

I’m not sure I’ve seen a day of Test C ricket were the umpires have got so much wrong.

The Siddle inside edge was totally obvious on first viewing.

Is this the one?

Collapse!

Will Jimmy swipe off a quick 50?

by **kevin pooles gloves** » Sun Aug 04, 2019 9:28 am

Evenly balanced match but we should just nick it.

Time for a rain dance now I guess.

by **Malcolm Dawes Knew My Father** » Thu Aug 15, 2019 3:26 pm

Thank Gawd there's already been a day lost to rain in this one. Only need a couple more days lost to the weather and England might secure a draw.

by **kevin pooles gloves** » Sun Aug 18, 2019 7:05 pm

4 wickets required of 7 overs.
Surely not.

by **Malcolm Dawes Knew My Father** » Sun Aug 18, 2019 7:29 pm

Not quite. Great effort though.

by **Bostonpoolie** » Sun Aug 18, 2019 9:54 pm

Enjoyed listening to that today, could it be another 2005?

by **kevin pooles gloves** » Thu Aug 22, 2019 8:17 pm

Great start to 3rd test.
Aussies all out for 179.

by **PJPoolie** » Thu Aug 22, 2019 8:19 pm

I think this Archer chap could have a bit of a future in the game.

by **RAY52** » Thu Aug 22, 2019 11:22 pm

At the minute, he is THAT good he could do a good job in goal for pools

by **Bluestreak** » Fri Aug 23, 2019 10:06 am

Warner played really well against the pace attack early on and Lavatorychain didn't do bad either apart from that the Aussies have a bit to worry about.
Come on England. :banana-linedance:

Warner was just out and put lucky early on you need a bit when the ball is moving around but Broad could have got him out about 15 times.

I think we can forget about Roy as a Test opener, awful shot.

by **Bluestreak** » Fri Aug 23, 2019 11:27 am

Root not good too.............................

by **PJPoolie** » Fri Aug 23, 2019 12:00 pm

I reckon a batting order with the same players that was this would see us doing better;

Burns
Denly
Stokes
Root
Roy
Bairstow
Buttler

Why bat your best player in Root, is position he doesn’t like batting?

At the minute we are 3 down for nothing nearly every time we bat.

by **Bluestreak** » Fri Aug 23, 2019 12:04 pm

Roy is diffidently not an opener in Tests he just cant control his instinct to hammer the ball and therefore better down the order on older ball/tired bowlers.

by **kevin pooles gloves** » Fri Aug 23, 2019 12:27 pm

Won't be a. Draw.
36 for 4.

by **PJPoolie** » Fri Aug 23, 2019 12:33 pm

They are bowling well but three have the wickets have been awful shots, only Root has been got out by a good ball.

by **Kenny Bottles** » Fri Aug 23, 2019 11:19 pm

Whoops...!

Sorry ladies - I've drifted onto the ''whiff of lavender'' thread by mistake...

by **kevin pooles gloves** » Sat Aug 24, 2019 5:46 am

Looks like the Aussies gunna have a lead of 360 with 2 and a half. Days play left.
Less than 2.runs.an over.
Heart says yes
Head says no.

yes, but when does his new book come out.

by **kevin pooles gloves** » Sat Aug 24, 2019 8:32 pm

203 runs required over 2 days with 7 wickets left.
Still. A major ask.
Some Boycott batting required.
Come on England.

by **kevin pooles gloves** » Sun Aug 25, 2019 4:52 pm

Truly awesome

by **BillinghamPoolie** » Sun Aug 25, 2019 10:49 pm

Better than the one day World Cup Final clappp

by **Joe Mac** » Thu Sep 05, 2019 1:44 pm

Can we just shoot Smith? Is that allowed? Nothing too serious just in his leg or summit. Probably be easier than getting him out.

by **Bluestreak** » Thu Sep 05, 2019 5:20 pm

Its just not fair........................

by **Malcolm Dawes Knew My Father** » Thu Sep 05, 2019 5:57 pm

I preferred the script writer for the last two Ashes tests.

Smith out to Leach for 118 and it's a no ball? Honestly, who's going to believe that?

by **PJPoolie** » Thu Sep 05, 2019 6:14 pm

Loads of scoreboard pressure now but it’s as flat as a witches tit this wicket, a poor surface. A draw isn’t a disaster here bat properly once and we go to the Oval with a chance of getting back the urn.

by **since1953** » Fri Sep 06, 2019 10:03 am

Superman Smith !
Lets resort to their ball doctoring tricks - not sandpaper - rub the ball in Kryptonite - that'll sort him out.

by **kevin pooles gloves** » Sat Sep 07, 2019 1:33 pm

Crucial that we avoid the follow on.
You have to live in hope.
A big ask but you never no.

by **PJPoolie** » Sat Sep 07, 2019 1:36 pm

I don’t think the follow on is an issue they won’t enforce it with only three days gap to the Oval. The Aussies game plan will be to bowl us out tomorrow and give the bowlers some rest. An hour of Buttler would be nice after lunch though.

by **PJPoolie** » Sat Sep 07, 2019 2:40 pm

Warner’s having a good series :laugh:

He was incredibly lucky to score that 60 as well couldn’t be happening to a nicer bloke.

by **Bluestreak** » Sat Sep 07, 2019 3:21 pm

This is much more exciting than anything the England footie team could serve up !
No channel change for me at 5pm.

by **kevin pooles gloves** » Sun Sep 08, 2019 6:04 pm

We still alive and the remaining overs flying by.
2 wickets remaining with 16 overs left.

by **kevin pooles gloves** » Sat Sep 14, 2019 4:26 pm

Looking good to win the last Test.
Enjoyed the full Series.
Fairplay to the Aussies on retaining the Ashes.
Give credit where it's due.

yes true.

by **PJPoolie** » Sat Sep 14, 2019 8:16 pm

We have been robbed by the weather as only one team was winning at Lords!!

I think the Aussie ‘dominance’ has been overplayed a little Cummins especially and Hazlewood are fantastic bowlers bit so are Broad and Archer the difference has been the freak bating four for them. One man. He’s been that ridiculous you wouldn’t rule out a double hundred to win this Test for them other than the fact the rest of the Aussie batting is worse than ours!!

by **Bluestreak** » Sat Sep 14, 2019 8:33 pm

I have wagered he will and win the match only 9-2? Coral not good!

by **PJPoolie** » Sat Sep 14, 2019 8:46 pm

To put those ridiculous odds in perspective (you can get 5/1 at William Hill which is equally absurd) in over 2,300 Test Matches in 142 years more than England’s current lead has been chased down three times and we still have two w ickets (screw you Mr I :laugh:

) left and less than 40 runs from never been done territory. The highest fourth innings chase at the Oval is 260 so I hope you didn’t put much on!!!

by **Bluestreak** » Sun Sep 15, 2019 8:54 am

25p

by **Bluestreak** » Sun Sep 15, 2019 12:57 pm
