The Ashes: Australia in England 16th Jun - 31 July

[meninblue]

Ben tries to score of a good ball in off stump channel. Out.

Is this Bazball.Is Bazball the approach aginst quality pacers in early overs.

How the batsmen can think to score off that ball when the team hasnt even got a decent first wicket partnership. Surely the ball was not of bad line and length to score runs off. This is crazy low percentile success shot.

Last innings Harry played like he was playing on Indian wicket on which little movement could happen. Struggled a lot. This time he is No 3 and role is very different. Should look for a massive score.

Another good off stump channel ball edged. Cannot they do a well left atleast against good balls.

I agree Adi.. that was rubbish from Brook

[sussexpob]

This wicket was made for Boland, is give him a go

The way England batsmen are batting i feel Australia can hope to get a first innings lead even after posting a below par test innings score.

[meninblue]

10 overs 53/2. England happy with run rate, Australia happy with wickets.

[meninblue]

Scott does not has pace, but that allows him to have great control over the line. Very good option in these conditions.

[Arthur Crabtree]

England bat down to eight though, which is reassuring.

[sussexpob]

Its Mitch 3 that strikes. Classic Crawley dismissal

[meninblue]

Wicket. Mitch strikes. Zak gone. Another edge, easily taken by Warner in slip. 3 down for 65.

[sussexpob]

England now backing off and bunkering in. Sensible

[meninblue]

Eng 68/3 at stumps. 13 wickets on Day 1 makes for another result oriented test.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Despite the loss of wickets, that's not a bad day for England.

Main disappointment is the drops.
