Whole first session Starc only bowled 3 overs WHY ?

He’s likely buggered.

Session 1 day 4
England 0-59
When they got 1 run in front the Barmy Army went up convinced they have won the Ashes
Fact is they are effectively 6-16
However before the test began I expressed concern that going with 4 RH medium pace ( 130 -135 kph) is too much same same
Doggett is not a wicket taker .Green bowls very little
Neser two good caught and bowled but not really a front line test bowler
No wonder Starc is a little buggered too much depends on him
Boland ok but not likely to get a bagful but reliable 2-3 wickets

So plan is ( according to Bailey and McDonald )
Starc gets 6 Boland gets 3 and the rest get 1 ???
Won't work
I think the team selected is weak bowling wise
However the powers to be will never admit it !

@Rusty has tickets for day 5 and Smith knows it.

 

[happy_tiger]

Great catch by Smith ....Neser has 3

 

[Stevec]

Great catch Smith
But why still bowling Doggett ?

Get the last 9 overs out of the way for the new ball and Starc and Boland take over ....hang on Stokes is out ....Neser has 4 fa

 

[innsaneink]

Yeh give yersself an uppercut stokesy lol

 

[Stevec]

They are basically 7-49
Brendon Julian ( BJ ) Openly barracks for England
Claims that if England get 50 more and Aust have to chase 100
They will win ?
Now great catch Carey now 8 down
BJ I don't think so !

 

[Buttface]

A fly landed on his helmet. Get the ambos out he could need a defib.

 

[Buttface]

It was good to see Ness get the first 2 wickets today he must’ve been wobbling his head a bit at that stage. Started rough in both innings but has scored 70 runs and 3 wickets. He could get a five for!!!

5 for Nes!!!

Lemon lime and bitters theses days thanks Nes.

They should have come to the WTF last season to, there were a couple of us who wanted Webster and Sam in for game 1 not 4.

 

[Buttface]

Now for a good Head job.

 

[innsaneink]

Thunderstorms look to be a fair way away still

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

[Stevec]

Well done Neser !
His bowling + Smith and Carey catching has allowed Starc to have a well earned rest
Chasing 65 Got 33 off 5 overs only 32 to get
Cricket ridiculous they go for the 20 min break with weather on the way

 

[Stevec]

where is the rain ... lol

If it rains next 2 hours and all day tomorrow will you claim a fair draw ?

 

[Buttface]

Get the last 9 overs out of the way for the new ball and Starc and Boland take over ....hang on Stokes is out ....Neser has 4 fa
