Headlines like "should have banned him for life"!Didn't see such indignation when Atherton got done for rubbing dirt on the pill, or using mints to extract swing, or a bloke bashing blokes outside a nightclub.Worst is Faf, seems to get fined/suspended every series for some dodgy activity but his credibility remains intact.Be interesting to see if Paine can keep his spot in the team, both Wade and Carey are better with the bat but not with the gloves.Would the ACB go back to Smith as captain if Paine lost his place? Smith has genuine remorse for his actions but I'm not sure the ACBwould take the punt on him again.
Re: Ashes 2019 Reply #76 – August 04, 2019, 07:29:59 am Warner and Bancroft have been decidedly underwhelming this test. Both need to put up or get *****ed off. No time for passengers.Another pretty cameo from Khawaja when a more extended dig was required. Disappointing.
Re: Ashes 2019 Reply #77 – August 04, 2019, 08:18:31 am We are seriously deficient in the top order.Pathetic to get real about it.
Re: Ashes 2019 Reply #78 – August 04, 2019, 09:17:38 am Bancrofts technique in English conditions isn't going to work, not sure why Harris didn't play who seems that Chris Rogers/Rory Burnsstyle of fighter who will grind out the runs against the moving ball. Interesting seeing Smith in defacto captain mode marshalling the troops from 1st slip, don't see Paine lasting as captain and whileyou need input from senior players I think its out of order for him to be giving directions in such a bold manner. Game is evenly poised and with Anderson out we can win Imo. Last Edit: August 04, 2019, 09:06:34 pm by ElwoodBlues1

Re: Ashes 2019 Reply #82 – August 04, 2019, 09:54:01 pm That dismissal to Ali stamped his papers. Not good enough. Want a right hander pick Burns.
Re: Ashes 2019 Reply #83 – August 05, 2019, 06:39:56 am well how's that for a turnaround.Centuries to Smith and Wade, good digs from Head, Paine, Patto etc etcDeclaring at 7/470 odd.Poms need 350+ to win on a turning wicket (0/10 odd at stumps).
Re: Ashes 2019 Reply #84 – August 05, 2019, 07:29:19 am It was far more than odd fly .... it was bloody stupid. Should have just blasted whatever we could muster.

Giving the new ball to Siddle was odd!

Giving the new ball to Siddle was odd!Thinking it was a light issue. We opened with Siddle and Lyon. Probably why we batted so long.

Withdrew his bat and caught the edge. Always unlucky. Bancroft's dismissal was ordinary.
