Ashes 2013/14

[UK Redsox]

Blowers is becoming very difficult to listen to.

The anecdotes are still great but he doesn't seem to have a clue as to who's doing what on the field.

[taylorsworkrate]

I've got to say, I think this has been another really pathetic display.

Out of the wickets we've taken, 1 has been a good bit of fielding allied to poor running, and the the other 4 have been down to horrendous shots. We have barely beat the edge all day. This match is as good as gone already, they've already got more than enough.

Oh and Bresnan has been a particular joke. Averaging 82mph and still can't offer any control. I cannot understand why he has been selected. They must have seen that he was nowhere near ready.

[taylorsworkrate]

Oh just fuck off Carberry. That was fucking cretinous

[eastie]

Listened to tms and boycott was beside himself at the team selection - he sees stokes as a number 8 at best and was bemused as to how rankin or Finn are not being used as real pace is the key in Perth - sadly flower for all his talk has bottled the selection .

As the Aussies hammer Bresnan all over the shop the ashes are slipping through our fingers - 5 down we had them for the taking but this partnership is taking them away from us - likely to post 400 and the ashes are all but gone .

Willy wombat will be here shortly to perform the last rights

I can fully understand Boycott being livid at the selection. I am too.

To be honest I'll be staggered if we get them out for 400. I really can't see them getting less than 475-500 as there is just nothing there in our side, skill or character wise at the moment.

Utterly pathetic yet again.

[PaulWinch again]

You know I think our bowlers are pretty much as culpable as our batsmen for our woes in this series. Once again we get them 5 down and then completely blow it, it has a knock on effect on the batsmen. Poor all round.

[PaulWinch again]

Well the rumours of Bresnan having more zip seem to be wide of the mark. This is rubbish.

[taylorsworkrate]

Fuck me. A wicket. Too little too late though

[eastie]

Unless we skittle the last 4 out cheaply and I really can't see it with this bowling attack

Get them out for 300 and there may still be faint hope but I fear they are more likely to get 400 .

[PaulWinch again]

Thank you Ben Stokes, good tight bowling. We need a clatter of wickets now.

[taylorsworkrate]

Just watch Johnson get a score now

[eastie]

See the difference a bit of extra pace made with that stokes delivery - Finn and rankin must be sick as parrots to be missing out here.

[taylorsworkrate]

Australia's batsmen seem to have come as us today. I mean obviously they've scored a hell of a lot more runs than ours will, but all of the shots they've got out to have been horrific

[taylorsworkrate]

Why the fuck is Bresnan still bowling?

More to the point , why the fuck is he playing !
