The Ashes 2023

[Lord]

Pat is lot better than no. 10.

 

Should bat ahead of Starc.

[vvvslaxman]

Woakes is gun in England. He knows what length to hit.  He is 6'1". So he gets bounce along with movement. May suck in other parts. But in England he should be in starting XI always.

[Kothili]

Absolutely dumb from Carey. But thats what you get with a coach like McDonald.

[Kothili]

Gilchrist would have massacred this attack.

India is not better side than England in England,specially without Bumrah and Pant. Conditions are everything in Tests.

I don't think so, If Indian bowling came to party India would have won that series and 5th test.Bumrah was there what did he do then.

 

India should be able to win against England without Bumrah and Pant even with their weak batting on these flat wickets.

 

They need to get their tactics right which they have not done in a long long time since Dravid took over.

Both Stokes and Baz need to get their heads examined for leaving this guy out.

No different from Indian selection who prefer "eggsperience"

Bumrah was only one who took wickets in that chase. Other bowlers completely useless. Team effort is required in such games.

 

Even under Shastri we lost WTC Finals 2021 badly. As long as we play these 3 failing seniors, things will remain same.

they thought Anderson will do the job. Woakes has always started late.

yup. Only guy who did well in that match got dropped 6 matches in a row. 

[vvvslaxman]

Just 83 overs bowled. Bright sunshine today. Why is that?

 How many wickets did Bumrah take in the chase?

 

2021 finals was a lottery due to weather. Winning the toss was winning the match.

 

What did stud Junior Gill do in both finals.

[Kothili]

Will finish 100 runs below par. Shitshow from Oz.

They should be punished for overrates.

[Frustrated]

The Avg 1st inning score on this ground is 382.   If Aus can stretch their total to 350 or above, they will be very much in the game.  

[Kothili]

Cummins is worse than Kohli. Losing the toss 4 times in a row.

Par score is different with England's Bazball. If England goes past that in 80 overs. You will still have roughly 2.5 days left. That will be enough to force a result

[MechEng]

Now Aus need to compensate it with some serious clinical bowling.

 

Put an end to bazball nonsense right now!
