Popular Post seajae Posted July 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2023 and the poms are whinging about it as per usual, it great when things go their way but not anyone elses. They have become the complete whingers, they grass a catch and call it a fair catch, the wicket keeper tries to run out a batsman when he is out of his crease then whinge when the aussies do it, they snick a ball on the way through but pretend they didnt and refuse to walk then whinge when the aussies do it. Really shows how pathetic the poms have become, they even had the wickets made to their demands as well as the shortening of boundaries to suit their BS new play but still lost, shows how incompetent they really are, the children need to grow up and realize that they need to play cricket and not bazzball, also have to realizee it is their garbage weather that is also the problem, all in all it couldnt have happened to bigger idiots, Australia won the first 2 tests with their doctored grounds, hahahahaha, only ones responsible are the poms 1 1 9 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacessit Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 As Pat Cummins said, an anticlimax. The Poms should not whinge about their weather having saved Australia from defeat, the same weather has saved their bacon multiple times. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LS24 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 England threw caution to the wind in their first innings of the fourth test because they were aware of the weather and it came off for them. They batted too long. That was an error in judgement. Australia came into the game knowing the weather also and the unlikelihood of being bowled out twice whilst still behind on the scoreboard. If the weather wasn't known, both teams would have played a different style of game. Australia were highly defensive in their bowling and fielding options they were still reserved but less so in their batting. Australian bowlers look like they are out of options with the Duke ball. They are not prepared to set full attacking fields and bowl a consistent line for any amount of time which leads to very defensive play. Leg Theory with 2 back behind square is a very defensive "attacking" option. Having a deep third man, a deep gully and deep backward point all on the boundary to Baristow was rather tepid field planning to say the least. Dan Vettori spent a lot of time yawning during that test. Maybe he needs to be working on more attacking strategies to get England's bats out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have preferred it didnt rain. I am sure we would have won anyway. The English are good at one thing, and that is losing everything apart from the toss. The dropped catches, the stupid batting, the limp wristed bowling, the poor captains decisions, the ground staff preparing a batting pitch with rain forecast. I think they have won one test against Australia out of the last nine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goat Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 An Aussie Test legend has exposed some truly staggering, clueless comments from the deluded, whingeing English cricket team. https://www.news.com.au/sport/cricket/it-is-wrong-england-is-so-salty-it-hurts-after-fourth-test-hypocrisy/news-story/569d6a27b23263ce3d51d21aa8d3b97f England’s costly errors throughout the series crippled their chances of winning back the urn for the first time in eight years — and it seems they are looking for someone else to blame. Typical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goat Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Aussie sport broadcaster Gerard Whateley also delivered a scathing rant when speaking on his SEN radio show, slamming England for claiming to be “moral victors”. “Seriously, cry me a river England,” he said. “The bleating coming from the other side of the world – honestly. You’d think there had never been a Test match washed away. And that the weather had never assisted the home team’s endeavours previously.” He went on to say England had been selective in their memory and said the home team had been “shameless” in preparing pitches that best suited their advantage. “In defeat they have claimed to be moral victors,” he said. “They have applied the letter if the law and the spirit of the game selectively to suit their actions. They have whinged relentlessly. I could not have said it better myself. They have their heads shoved up their own ....... they believe their own bullsh.. https://www.news.com.au/sport/cricket/it-is-wrong-england-is-so-salty-it-hurts-after-fourth-test-hypocrisy/news-story/569d6a27b23263ce3d51d21aa8d3b97f 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goat Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Ben Stokes has hit back at suggestions England should have declared earlier at Old Trafford, claiming anyone who thinks that was an option doesn't understand cricket like he does.

Keeps Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Now, I'm not going to mention that though am I? I'm an arrogant, whingeing Pom :-) The last win for England in Oz though was 2011 so a decade more recent than Aussies last win in the UK. England also won three matches by an innings in that series. Also the first team to score 500+ in 4 innings in an Ashes series. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
