The England Cricket Thread

Another game, another England collapse. Standard.

Sankari · 15 Jan 2022 at 10:04

England all out for 188! Amazing scenes!

Sankari · 15 Jan 2022 at 10:38

Australia in top order collapse shocker! 2 wickets gone for just 8 runs!

:eek:

Sankari · 15 Jan 2022 at 11:54

Australia limps to 3 for 37 at stumps! It's all gone horribly wrong!

McGray · 15 Jan 2022 at 13:41

Hardly.

Even if Aus only get 90 they'd be 200 ahead. Have England even made over 200 in a first innings this tour let alone second?

@Sankari I really admire the way your updates have tried to make it seem like England are in with a shout during these test matches

Warner might as well just walk off between 5 and 25 balls when Broad is bowling. The only positive of another horrible tour down under.

Just helping to keep the dream alive! Seriously though, Test cricket is a fickle beast, you never know what could happen.

Australia on 6 for 101, shocking scenes!

:eek:

Not sure what would be more on brand for this England team, an implausible run chase to win a dead rubber or just getting skittled again.

Sankari · 16 Jan 2022 at 07:06

Carey falls on 49, but he's done us proud!

Sankari · 16 Jan 2022 at 07:13

Australia finishes on 155 with a lead of 270! Outrageous scenes!

:eek:

Haha yep. Crawley shot then was more toward the latter.

Sankari · 16 Jan 2022 at 08:14

England completely running away with this game!

:eek:

SoliD · 16 Jan 2022 at 08:35

What's the highest opening we've had this series?

Jinx.

SoliD · 16 Jan 2022 at 08:40

Didn't jinx that much did I.

BaZ87 · 16 Jan 2022 at 08:42

Pretty sure the highest opening partnership was sub 50 before today though.

Perfect timing.

SoliD · 16 Jan 2022 at 08:45

Got quite a lot of luck up to that point with both playing ropey shots, hopefully they take the positivity from that session and carry on after tea.
