Ashes

[CusworthRovers]

A bit harsh there guys. It's like listening to how many on here call our footy players.

Cook has a very good record captaining England and comfortably won the Ashes in the summer. This team got to number 1 in the world and now after the first blip in a very long time, they're all now crap at their job!!

Broad is the 2nd leading wicket taker on this tour and considering they've took 20 wickets in each of the 4 tests ( we've taken far less),  that's pretty good.

Prior is up there with the best still.
I would only question the logic in CArberry, as I would have stuck with potential and the future ie Compton

All our batsmen have got in, but given their wickets away.

KP would walk into any side.
Bell is arguably the best technically gifted batsmen in the world

I wouldn't put many if not any of the Aussies in our team on form of the last year or two

We lost this series on the first day of the first test. We were bullied on and off the field and that bullying momentum has grown on and off the field. We weren't ready for that

We do however need to change things now to take us forward.

Just back from the first day at the SCG. Fantastic setting. Shame we threw away our start, but it was bloody warm out there so understandable. Fingers crossed for better tomorrow.

That was a shambles fromEngland last night,they arewell and truely scared shitless of Mitchell Johnson, the established batsmen have been mentally obliterated, a 5-0 whitewash is the only outcome now it will all be over in 3 days possibly before tea when the Aussies will knock our bowling out of the ground in the first hourand then declare, changes are needed, starting with the captain!
