The International Cricket Thread

Let's see, getting a right hander on makes a huge difference, Carse looked much more threatening immediately.

There is no control here at all. I still cannot get over how dense Pope, Brook, and Root were.

[OzVilla]

I wonder if the talk around Root not getting a hundred in Australia has got to him. His was particularly poor.

[PaulWinch again]

Head taking down Stokes now as well.

This day will define the series.

Strange really. Everything in Englands favour - no Cummins, no Hazelwood, a disrupted Aussie top order - a seam attack that was the best we could muster, a series draw against India, a 40 run first inning lead, 65-1 … and they find a way to f*** it up in two hours.

Oh well. On to Brisbane… where our record is even worse than at Perth.

[PaulWinch again]

And pink ball which they always win.

Brook, Root, and Pope’s inability to realise what was crucial has absolutely ended us.

[OzVilla]

Atleast Pope has looked good in both innings and Brook plays his shots. Root I have no sympathy for.
