Bazball wasn't going to work against New Zealand - they were World Test champions.lancashire lad said:
agreed but if I remember we beat SA and NZ both of whom were not at their strongest unlike Oz and IndiaCallumcafc said:
You said the England approach is not suitable to win five day Test matches - they’ve won 12 of 17 under Stokes and it most likely would’ve been 13 of 17 without the Manchester weather.lancashire lad said:
perhaps you didn't realise that Aussie have retained the Ashes, if our batsmen had not thrown the bat so much in the earlier tests then we would have won the ashes. The Aussies play a better test match game although we play more entertaining cricket.Callumcafc said:
Apart from the last one and a half Test matches you mean?lancashire lad said:I hope the Aussies win as it might prove that our approach to test cricket, while entertaining, is not suitable win a 5 day test match
Sime say the Bazball believers are weird. Actively hoping England lose an Ashes Test to prove yourself right is next level though…
I would rather we won the Ashes, we didn't this is a dead game and really the result is immaterial.
If you want to go scorched earth because the Aussies won a couple of close games, I suppose you’re welcome to that.
Then it wasn't going to work against India.
Then South Africa were going to sus it out.
There was no way it would work in Pakistan, not on those wickets.
New Zealand in New Zealand were going to turn the tables on us.
Ireland? We'll they shouldn't be playing Test cricket. They still have to take their kits home and wash them and make their own teas.
Australia, they are now World Test champions...they'll show that Bazball just isn't cricket.1 -
A couple of years ago 250 runs would probably been at close of play on day one.
Now despite a poor over rate England bring up 250 in two sessions.
Have to admit it's very entertaining.0 -

Woakes lbw Starc 15 - edit not out as an inside edge0

251-8 but Woakes reviews0

Ultra edge sounds an inside edge. Woakes survives0
-
Why did Woakes debate reviewing that? Not only did he smack it but we had 3 reviews anyway!!! Perhaps he wanted to save them all for Broad?3

Woakes creams the next ball for 4 runs0

Next ball put down at 4th slipCallumcafc said:Woakes creams the next ball for 4 runs0 -
Absolute carnage after tea.0

he clearly didn't realise he'd hit it but as you say, eight down and three reviews left you just do it anyway!Addick Addict said:Why did Woakes debate reviewing that? Not only did he smack it but we had 3 reviews anyway!!! Perhaps he wanted to save them all for Broad?1 -
261-8
Wood with a big swing, bowled by Murphy0 -
Murphy looks like one of them geek/step son-types who lose their virginity to an older woman, likely step mum... if you know what I mean...4

But not Woakes, as he's too much of a nice person to automatically use a review himself!kinveachyaddick said:

This is like village green cricket. Spinner comes on & batsmen step away to slog him for 6. Problem is they just leave the stumps out in the open & get clean bowled.
How many is that now.....3 ?0 -
bring back Boycott and Tavaré

270-9
Broad gone for 7, skies Starc to cover0 -
Anderson given not out lbw but reviewed by Australia1

Aussies had all gone back to their fielding positions for the next over… didn’t have much hope0 -

How long can the Burney Lara last, he'll want to be bowling on this pitch and soon.0
-
Woakes having a bit of fun now, he doesn’t know how long Jimmy will last at the other end0
-
283 all out
Woakes out for 36 from 36 balls0 -
Fairly even after our 1st innings. I think both teams will be happy enough. Hopefully we can make the most of the conditions and get a decent amount of wickets before close of play.

England should be able to get 25 overs at Australia before the close, providing the weather doesn’t get in the way.2
-
If Jimmy can't do it in these conditions then I think even CAFC4 ever will have to admit he's done!0
-
Pivotal session coming up. If Jimmy can’t get the ball talking here…2
-
Still have it 55:45 Australia. Hopefully we can do some damage in good bowling conditions.0
-
Big appeal for lbw first ball but was going just down leg, no review requested by Broad0
-
Come on Jimmy!0
