Ashes down under

[rodcurrie]

He's been let down badly by his senior players and the players selected for him to Captain.

On TMS,they were on about a bowler Frank Tyson,who Richie Benaud said was the fastest he had ever faced,so I have been reading up on him today,although he was a Lancastrian he does seem to be just exactly the type of bowler we need in this team

They've all been poor Joe included,i just wanna see em avoid a whitewash.UTCB

Absolutely brilliant listening to that partnership well done broady for hanging in there when more accomplished batsmen failed on a pitch which offered runs if you wanted them,cook was outstanding and did what was required (he obviously read my post yesterday pity he didn't show it to the likes of Ali) best position we've been in all series at least it should stop the whitewash and if broady and Jimmy can get the ball swinging again a hell of a chance of winning a test down there at last

...Cook was outstanding and did what was required...

I believe he was required to do it three tests ago... Disappointing that we start to perform when the series is already lost.

No point crying over spilt milk FKB I said earlier it's too late to save the series but you've got to applaud an innings like that,at least they've put a marker down which is more than they did in the last series

Its a great individual performance, no doubt, but its a shame its too late to make any difference overall.

Cooky's innings is the highest score ever against Australia,so that's a magnificent achievement and mek no mistake them convicts wudda wanted another whitewash,so i dunt go along wi what some have said on social media that they weren't bothered.If England had got whitewashed they'd've got slaughtered so i'm gunna give em credit when it's deserved but of course truth be told we aint saved the whitewash yet.UTCB
