Ashes 2013/14

We desperately need a clatter of wickets here. This pitch is good to bat on, batsmen have just got themselves out.

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.

The naysayers on Finn will undoubtably bring up his lack of control as a reason for him not playing. However, that's a moot point as the whole of our attack has had fuck all control today.

Its good to bat on if facing a seam attack - when  facing a genuine pace attack we will see a big  difference .

Exactly - wickets win matches !

Well again if we can't bat then it's all pointless anyway. It'll be a good batting pitch whatever the bowling attack, it's easy to score runs on.

Finn's issue is form, he hasn't looked good on this tour at all. I rate him really highly but he's not making a case to pick him at the moment.

Johnson scoring very easily.

He took the most wickets in the warm ups. When we've struggled to look anything like taking wickets surely that's a strong enough reason for him to play

I can totally see that argument, but then again Bresnan took wickets in the performance games he played. I agree we look a bit short, and personally with the team we have at the moment I'd have Stokes taking the new ball for a couple of overs.

For fucks sake

[PaulWinch again]

Fucking edge's not carrying, we get no luck.

[PaulWinch again]

This is really good from Stokes though, his more senior colleagues should be watching this.

[taylorsworkrate]

We've bowled like shit since Haddin got out

[PaulWinch again]

Ton for Smith, the bowler I'm most disappointed by is Anderson. He's not threatened at all.

[PaulWinch again]

They're smashing it everywhere now, this is getting away from us fast.
