The England Cricket Thread

[Semple]

Well that's certainly the end of the ashes for us.

Frankly after that performance we certainly don't deserve it.

Hang your heads in shame lads (minus Archer)

 

[Sankari]

All out for 67.

That was a wild ride.

 

[andicole0]

Omg Denly top scores with 12.
Andi.

[Cob]

Hahahahahhahahahahahahaha!

This didn't age well:

Meanwhile, Australia starting to wobble already.

 

[Locky]

England don't deserve to win anything. Absolutely pathetic..

 

[Sankari]

At least Warner is back in form.

 

[Sankari]

2 for 36, and that's me out for the night. Will check back in tomorrow morning.

 

[Semple]

Will check back in tomorrow morning.

That's if it's not all wrapped up by then!

 

[McBain]

67 all out that's mightily impressive going.

No, but Denly's score of 12 is the lowest highest score in a Test innings for England. Impressive.

Why does Boycott use every chance he gets when commentating to highlight how superior he was to every batsman in existence? It's basically a few hours of hearing me, me, me, me, me. He's an absolutely insufferable human being.

 

[Cob]

WTF Joe!!!!!!!

 

[Cob]

Christ you don't drop Smith v2 on 14.

True. But then, I'd kill for him to be opening our batting now.

Cough! 36-2
Andi.

 

[Cob]

Archer limping off.

Ah well. I suppose having no hope will less stressful than some hope.

 

[CGrieves]

Well for England there's one positive from today- that there has to be some change. Whether that's being players being dropped, coaches being sacked, changing the batting order, sacking the psychologist, taping a "Play Test Cricket" sticker inside their helmet grilles, tying Roy's bat to his front leg with 3 inches of string, getting drunk, switching to ice hockey, prescribing performance enhancing drugs...... something.... ANYTHING has to happen!

There were dismissals today that I think even I could have avoided. Blindfolded. Facing the wrong way. Tied up. With no bat.

If they just saunter onto the pitch with the same lineup and the same crushing inability to play test cricket in Manchester, then they deserve the world's longest slow-clap facepalm greeting possible
