JustMike Posted 7 August, 2009 Share Posted 7 August, 2009 our batting line up worries me still. Bopara and Bell in the top 4 is risky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustMike Posted 7 August, 2009 Share Posted 7 August, 2009 see, my worries confirmed. Bopara gone...16/2. An awful bit of batting to, wafts his bat at a wide one, no control. Must be dropped imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai_phil Posted 7 August, 2009 Share Posted 7 August, 2009 Somehow after all the hype and excitement, we win a toss it was better to lose and I'm having nightmares about being all out for around 180 and then the clouds lift and they go and score 600 or so... think it happened a few times before Sri Lanka or someone? How Strauss wasn't out first ball.... bad start, back to earth, this is England of course... And suddenly where's the batting order depth.

keithd Posted 7 August, 2009 Share Posted 7 August, 2009 if we make 150 i'll be suprised. i'll take anything over 240 right now...fat chance scrub that, i'll take anything over 200, but expect us to be skittled for under 140 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the stain Posted 7 August, 2009 Share Posted 7 August, 2009 Bopara and Bell adjacent in the order; a recipe for collapse, I warned a thousand times. Why don't the selectors listen to me? If Colly had come in at 4 we'd have had a chance. Gah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopGun Posted 7 August, 2009 Share Posted 7 August, 2009 Just shocking. No back bone from the usual suspects and none from the slightly mentally stronger either.

bungle Posted 7 August, 2009 Share Posted 7 August, 2009 Got to get them out for no more than 220, and hope we can get 400 in 2nd innings. It's not impossible, we've all seen it happen, but anything more than 300 from Aus and it will be incredibly difficult! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustMike Posted 7 August, 2009 Share Posted 7 August, 2009 this really does expose how weak we are when the likes of KP and freddie arent in the team. We need to look beyond the select "pool" of players. Why wasnt Trott given a go in place of the out of form Bopara? Too weak in too many key places.

bungle Posted 7 August, 2009 Share Posted 7 August, 2009 Good to see the alpine-esque over-reactions setting in. We are 1-0 up in an Ashes series, and have had 1 very bad innings. But it doesn't mean we are sh*t, a f*cking disgrace, nor that we have lost the Ashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
