Cricket Season Thread

on tha pitch 150 is probably a pass mark, not sure poms will get much more than that at best.
They did well after spraying it, but the first three wickets were shots that should have been kept in pocket for a while. Some good bowling after that.
Looks like a pitch where blowing at the top of off is handy = Bolo
Also looks like a left arm new ball bowler would be handy = Starc
 
Starting to see some suggestions that England don't really care about the Ashes .Well that was not the tune when the series started when some of their experts were saying this is the worst Aussie team in 15 years
25 years according to pompous Piers Morgan .Predicting a 5-0 England win
Probably at tea today with Australia all out 152 They were cheering !
But being bowled out in a session for 110 has thrown cold water on that .
Keep in mind 10 mm grass on this wicket makes this test a lottery
Its now a one innings each test with Australia with a 46 run head start .
Wicket is too spicy ! Whichever team has one or two batters getting a 70 or 80 will probably win .However it will be a lucky dip this test match
If match goes to day 3 it will be easier to bat which favours England but will it go to day 3 ?
 
They don’t care. They’re out here on a glorified Contiki tour and playing a bit of cricket on the side. Been a while since I have seen a touring team show less interest in doing the job they are here to do.

Are you suggesting that Australia are 3-0 up is because England didn't care and not because Australia have better cricketers ? So if they did care England would have won the Ashes ? They were so cock a hoop at the beginning like it was so so important ! The Barmy Army sure thought so .
What your suggesting sounds like a little kid when he loses a game of anything saying "Oh I didn't care anyway !
