England's Ashes Test Team

[Jason H]

The Jason Roy opening experiment must be officially over now, surely?

 

[IndoMike]

The Roy, Root and Denley era is fading fast.
Feel sorry for our bowlers, having to take all the bloody wickets and then score the runs.

 

[IndoMike]

34-4. Jesus Christ...

 

[Hants_red]

All we need now is for the England top 4 to go for 60 or less by lunch tomorrow and normality will be restored.

And here we are. Not even lunchtime and we're 6 wickets down.

Geoffrey, you seem to be a doom and gloom merchant these days, what has happened to those rose tinted spectacles you used to swagger around in, did Tisdale take them to MK ?

Think you look a little bit silly now Charlie, don't you? I do believe 60-4 was a tad optimistic rather than doom and gloom.

 

[IndoMike]

Jesus. What an embarrassment.

 

[IndoMike]

We just can't compete. It's like playing with no 1-4. Our bowlers must be right farked off : dunno how our batsmen can face them

 

[Jason H]

Heads. Must. Roll.

 

[IndoMike]

67 all out. If Archer can take 10-0 we have a chance.

 

[IndoMike]

I've got that horrible feeling that the press, the commentators and even Root are building Archer up too much. I hear he's a cool customer, has a great attitude, a great action and is super fast. Yes, I'm building him up, too. But with English sport there's always gonna be an unwanted fark up waiting in the wings. Just hope it doesn't happen

Yes, Mike. The classic fark up happened. It's the English way.
