2025-2026 Summer of Cricket

Pathetic cricket. To be done in 45 overs is just ridiculous. This is what happens when t20 becomes a mainstay. They play stupid shots and don't have a mind for longevity.
 
The way this series is going, they have a few good sessions and then we dominate.
So by this logic, they won’t get the follow on and game will be over by Saturday lunch haha.

Similar scores to the first innings scores of the centenary test 1977. Both sides scored over 400 in the second dig. Rod Marsh became the first Australian wicket-keeper to score a century (previously Bill Lawry had declared on him when he was in the 90s). Coincidently, Australia's win by 45 runs was the exact same margin as the match they had been celebrating 100 years previously.
 
I watched until lunch with Australia 5 down. I retired to my slumber knowing one of two things would happen whilst I was asleep. Either (a) Australia’s tail would wag to get you towards a decent score or (b) England would **** our pants again to turn a positive position into a negative one.

The three certainties in life - death, taxes and an English cricketing collapse.

Anyway, I’m going to watch Stranger Things now. More believable than the batting technique of some of these so called batsmen!
 
The groundsman left 10mm of grass on the wicket because thought it might break up on the 4th or 5th days. The way this test is going it will not get that far. 10mm is way too much grass to have left on the wicket.
 
We batted poorly in both innings and deserve to lose.

We can’t expect our bowlers to regularly bail out the batsmen.

It’s time for the selectors to drop some batsmen. Green should be the first.
