Harry Palmer Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Jimmy Anderson... Aus 4/2 Just the 402 run lead... Geoffrey Boycott, Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special "People like Monty because he tries like hell - it annoys them when others play daft shots and give their wickets away." "I've been in this situation, it's sometimes hard to concentrate because you're so far ahead. The edge has gone." Apparently he (Boycs) likes Kim Basinger (60 tomorrow ) as well as Katy Perry...

The Mighty Thor Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Just up. Johnson shows how to rip through the tail Two full days for the Aussies to skittle them out?

The Mighty Thor Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Watching the highlights and Johnson is devastating them. Brilliant fast bowling. Particularly pleasing to see that little rat broad up the pavilion for a golden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Last summer Bell, the lower order and to a lesser extent Pietersen carried the batting. Cook, (Trott) and Prior still way out of form. And Root's technique far too poor for a higher order batsman. You can't get away with just one batsman playing well in 2 Ashes series in a row.

Coco Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Reading the Guardian report http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2013/dec/07/australia-england-ashes-mitchell-johnson On Bell The debate over whether he should bat at three may resurface. Currently England would like him to bat him at one, two, three, four, five and six. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooperstar Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I still think they should have enforced the follow on. How long will they give themselves to bowl out the English? From lunch tomorrow? Or straight in from the off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 This England team have never been as good as they think they are. That's half the problem Mmm...I'd disagree. For a while they were rightly number one in the World. I just sense that complacency and arrogance has set in. My prime offenders are KP, Prior, Broad and, it pains me to say, Swann.

AndrewB Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 England are running out of options quickly. Bresnan being touted for a return - fair enough - but thereafter its Rankin, Finn or Tremlett. These three that completley unimpressed against state 2nd XIs in the warm-ups. Batting-wise, hopes are now being piled on the Zimbabwean Ballance and straws being clutched because Cook, Root, Bell, Pietersen and Prior have had one good innings each. Or to put it another way, only three failures each so far - total of 15 in two tests. Loving this loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
