Alex 35723 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 What’s Bairstow bringing to the side at this point? There’s not a fucking chance he’ll be dropped if fit either 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 46531 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Thick as mince these lads. Nearly get out top edging and instead of thinking better of it, you treat that as a practice swing for the next successful one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35723 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Hasn’t got the balls to hang around against the short stuff on this wicket. Neither would I have so I’m not about to call him a coward but it’s not exactly news re: Moeen as he’s always had a weakness there. Also this fast bouncy wicket is what they’ve supposedly been wanting all summer. We get it and - what do you know? Aussie type wickets suit the Aussie quicks. And there’s another one on the stroke of lunch. You can talk about missed opportunities- especially with catches but it’s not like that’s not a skill in itself and not an integral part of the game.

MMXXVIII 1295 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 The approach seems forcefully blasé in a game that requires the opposite. Like they're protestors or something. Bairstow should have let that kid get on with doing a better job. Then we kill them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 35723 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Yeah, I was being sarcastic. It’s going to take a very good innings from Stokes to get near their score you’d think. This is shades of four years ago without the happy ending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mindset is fine but combine it with a level of professionalism ffs. I think the last year led them to a bubble where they thought they could change the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6700 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 It worked last summer and suddenly we think it's the future. I said before this series started that if we dare to dabble with 'Bazball' Australia will teach us a lesson and it seems to be being proven right. The disappointing thing is that without the short moments of madness we stood a chance of taking this series too them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
