Australia should spend the next training day learning how to use them properly, they'd probably win.

Australia

 

[JuveJay]

Your boy fancied a stroll up the wicket, by the look of it.

 

[ZoSo]

I didn't see, I just got home after he was out, only saw like 1 ball before the tea break. I saw 'run out' on the scores though.

Lords pitch looks like some sub-continent pitch.

I watched a bit of the match yesterday and Smith looked like Warne out there.lol

 

[Salvo]

Horrid.

 

[ZoSo]

I don't understand how we are that bad 128 wtf

 

[JuveJay]

England have tried hard to keep it interesting, but Australia don't look capable of a big score right now.

 

[Nenz]

We have been persisting with the same hacks for far too long now. Give me Matthew Hayden, Adam Gilchrist and the fountain of youth.

 

[Ahmed]

its just a poor generation, Aussies need to think out of the box and identify some hard-nosed, Allan Border types.

current lot is too soft.

 

[ZoSo]

Michael Clarke is a poor leader too imo

 

[Nenz]

Terrible decision on Kawaja.

 

[Red]

Yup.

You really have to wonder what the third umpire is up to when you can see clearly with the naked eye that Kawaja missed it.

Clarke going well for the first time in the series just now.

 

[JuveJay]

Oz boys look like they came to play this time.

 

[Nenz]

Its been a good test match from us finally. I think we'll be drawing this one though.

 

[Salvo]

GOAT

Could be. I think selectors are the ones to blame. They've persisted with hacks like Hughes for far too long and they haven't given a leg spinner an extended run in the team yet. Our attack definitely misses a class spinner and Watson is just not replacing Hayden at no. 1.

Michael Clarke is a poor leader too imo

I disagree. Good captains lead by example and Clarke is by far our most capable and consistent batsman.

I love Bell when he's on form. That ball from Harris was a thing of beauty though.

 

[Martin]

it was?
