Zac Crawley = Danilo Orsi

Nick - I think Liverpool fans are having to “trust in the process” atm 🤪😂🤷🏻‍♂️

We were overrun in mid-order/field and the best team lost. Delete as appropriate for this morning/this evening.

Interesting to see that Stokes used the words “trust in the process” in his post-match interview, which is what people in power always say when things aren’t working, but they are too stubborn to change or admit that they are wrong

Being an England cricket fan in Australia today must be a bit like being a Wimbledon fan in Peterborough a couple of weeks ago… 🤪😬

On the train home after 2 days of Ashes cricket with plenty of crowing Aussies giving it large!! We were fucking awful

Bazball was great in the test series against India, ,let's not write England off yet.but you still need a couple of grinders especially again the Aussies. We had them on the rack yesterday and blew it.

Also agreed Nick - Bazball seems to be about trying to slow the declining popularity of test cricket in this country rather than trying to win test matches.

If all these ashes matches end in 2to3 days then it’s another nail in the coffin for test cricket

Absolutely agree Nick. Test cricket, and to an extent the old county game, was about strategy and tactics. Now, at least for England, Test cricket is basically a slightly elongated one day game. There are plenty of one day international matches, it would be nice for Test cricket to be different.

Hard to see the Ashes ending anything better than 4-0 defeat. Although dressed up a “being positive” etc etc “Bazball” seems basically just a way of dressing up the unwillingness to take the time to build an innings or do anything other than try to slog every ball (Root excepted, though he failed too in this game).

Well there's a surprise. One warm up game on a pitch that is no way resembles the test pitch and a couple of games of golf and you fold like a pack of cards. Another 3/4-0 coming

Could be a wet game today

England put themselves in a great position yesterday with some of the best fast bowling I've seen from an England attack. Batsman haven't performed, shame as aussies without Cummins and hazlewood., chance thrown away.

Test in Perth seems to be heading for a draw then

OTD was Luke Moore I seem to recall

Is it time to revive my post from yesterday….? “Doesn’t look like England are going to win the first test…. 🏏😯” 🤷🏻‍♂️

We haven’t scored a league goal in over a month*

I’ll take a 0-0

We don’t have 3 goals in us atm

3-3 draw tomorrow
