Cricket - the Ashes 2021

Some good bowling by Australia but some woeful batting by England, what were Stokes and Buttler doing playing those shots.

One ray of hope if only to get back some pride was the bowling of Mark Wood. It was a travesty he didn't get a wicket, Harris and Warner were very uncomfortable when they faced his pace, they were jumping about the crease and playing rash shots but didn't get a nick.  If England had another bowler at the other end of similar pace to him then this test series could be a different story.

Saw the second session to tea and England bowled and competed well, commentators said Harris had played and missed 20 times by the time he was in the low 70's, he certainly led a charmed life against Wood when I watched.

Reports are saying the Aussie bowlers were unplayable when England started their 2nd innings, can only hope for a big partnership  or two to give the England bowlers something to bowl against but I fear it will all be over by lunch.

Bowled fantastic I though. Anderson was brilliant as was Wood who deserved more wickets (seems to be a running theme with Wood). Robinson also good, leach was poor but his figures weren’t too bad in the end. The bowlers gave us half a chance and then we come out and play like that. Some decent balls in there yes, but this is the pinnacle of test cricket, we have to be able to learn what to play and what to leave. Root needs at least 150 tomorrow for us to get anything around 250, would be nice to see Stokes play some shots and play his natural game. Think we will probably be all out around the 140 mark and then lose the test in 3 days which is just embarrassing
