there is no answer but change...once upon a time I would watch a test hoping for a competition not blood...the poms supporters are calling for blood. What a shame when I want them to lift and give us a run for our money and if we win or whoever wins it can be a deserved battle...at the end of the day it is only cricket
Stokes and Jacks showed on day 3 they can play a more traditional and effective style of test cricket, they just choose not to most of the time. Weird.
On tele I just watched Botham say that the poms who travelled to watch their team should ask for there money back...IMO that could go for the Aussies to then. Going back in time, I think we should look at preparing a test pitch, one that is bat friendly at the start and bowlers look for the cracks after a couple of days and not like the Perth death pitch.
You are right about Brisbane and the pitch, it was prepared for a test, just a shame the first test wasn't on it and a shame the poms couldn't catch, now that would've made a different game. I just want a competition.I reckon our mates in Brisbane (best city in the world just quietly) prepared a pretty good wicket. It could have provided 4 x 300+ run innings quite easily if both teams had wanted to play test cricket through the whole game.
IMO T20 has destroyed test cricket, and every team from time to time (and some more often) forget which style of cricket they’re playing.
Ah well, Rootie got his ton. The Poms can go home now before they end up getting boycotted by the balmy army.
Add on - I just realised our American friends probably didn’t understand a word of the above. A bit like us have no clue what the bottom of the ninth means.
