The Ashes 2019

[Jim05]

And another typical Khawaja dismissal

[whufc]

That’s not a shot of a number 3 batsmen

[Armchair expert]

Every bloody time its a piss weak half hearted shot outside off

[RB]

Khawaja putting his hand up to be dropped for Smith. Wade may make an improved offer when he gets his chance.

[gadj1976]

That four from Harris second ball was a deadset no-ball by about an inch.
Why aren’t all deliveries checked?

Because the ICC are a bunch of useless %^*(*&^$%^S

Its a JOKE they're only checked upon a wicket falling

Correct. Umpires are a waste of time. They don't even bother with no balls or run outs any more. And it's showing in the quality of decisions.

Just as im reading this umpire Wilson calls Archer for No Ball twice in 3 balls

[daysofourlives]

Archer showing signs in this innings that he maybe no different to any other West Indian fast bowler over the last 20 years. 4 over T20 spells starting to look far more attractive. Frustration definitely creeping in as the game gets further away from the poms

[PatowalongaPirate]

This is where we could turn the screws and really pound them into submission.

Take the opportunity boys.

[Armchair expert]

Root drops a sitter, have to make them pay now

[locky801]

Stokes knocks Head over, lead just over 200

[Armchair expert]

Archer off, may just be cramp

[daysofourlives]

Archer off, may just be cramp

Typical pea heart West Indian. Going to be a short Test career. Its what 25 degrees there, see how he goes bowling 20 overs a day in Australia or the sub continent on a 38 degree day

[Armchair expert]

hahahahaahhahaahahaha

NO BALLLLLLLL

[daysofourlives]

hahahahaahhahaahahaha

NO BALLLLLLLL

Do they lose their review for that too?

[Armchair expert]

No unfortunately

Marnus told them he hit it, too funny

[Armchair expert]

Time for Alex Carey

Paine is absolutely useless

[Armchair expert]

Marnus great stuff, had some luck but survived

Wade handy innings but to lose 2 wickets in the last 20mins was disappointing - Paine has to go

Stokes was bloody great, unlucky to not get a few more wickets, bowled 16 overs -4balls straight

Hopefully keep it going tomorrow

[helicopterking]

Just give Carey a call now. Hes over there, add him to the the squad.

Time for Alex Carey

Paine is absolutely useless

Yep, just being a good bloke doesn’t cut the mustard. His batting is rubbish and Warner had to bail him out twice yesterday for catches that Paine should be taking

At the time of his selection as skipper being a "good bloke" was of vital importance as our lads were on the nose. Having had a large hand in turning the culture of the side around it is understandable that he has been rewarded with opportunities. There is absolutely no way Carey will replace him tbis series. But its clearly a change that will happen sooner rather than later.
