Smith really is a disgrace. Suspect he would review it if he was bowled. Pity about the drops but England’s morning

He is entitled to review if he doesn’t think he hit it which clearly he didn’t.

Fielding has been a massive issue for us up to now too many dropped catches overall not just by Bairstow and the amount of extras we are conceding is crippling us as well. If Foakes isn’t the keeper after this game then either Johhny has improved beyond all recognition behind the stumps in the rest of the game or Foakes will just never get in, JB had to play as a batsman though so fitting them both in is a problem.

How well has Wood bowled? Wow shame about his fitnes he would have been a game changer in the last 2 tests.

Much better and varied bowling attack from England, putting Australia under pressure after being put into bat. Stokes needs to swallow his pride and drop his mate Bairstow for the next test, he is a liability and is costing us wickets. The wicket has a lot in it for the bowlers so we will have to bat well, not recklessly. All in all, a very positive morning for England though.

JB the batter has to play JB the keeper needs to be consigned to the break out in emergencies bin.

I’d bring in James Rew from Somerset before Foakes. I know he’s young but it can’t be long before they bring him into the England setup.

Foakes test average 32.2, Bairstow test average 37.

Stop blaming Bairstow , it's the selectors/coach/ Captain . Still bowling well this section.

You can tag Bairstow alongside Anderson.

Massively undercooked due to virtually no games leading up to the Ashes and it's showing in the match sharpness..

What is Bairstows batting average as a keeper? As a batter I agree he should play but as a keeper not for me and as a number 7 an average of 32 is very good.

Another drop

Quickenthetempo · Post by **Quickenthetempo** » Thu Jul 06, 2023 1:52 pm

Now that is an easy drop.

We have been awful in the field this series.

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Thu Jul 06, 2023 1:52 pm

Hussain just said that’s 13 drops and a missed stumping so far in the series.

That’s an awful record.

He is allowed to review any dismissal. However any batter knows if they have edged the ball or not. Even the the Aussie lady commentator questioned his review. The good news for England is that he was correctly given out and Australia lost a review !

What's the point of having reviews if teams aren't allowed to use them whenever they want?

Surely it's their choice if they want to be daft and lose a review, as Smith would have done in his case.

Can’t quite believe how quick this outfield is - I haven’t seen anything like it, beat the infield and you’re more or less guaranteed a boundary (as long as there isn’t anyone out in the deep)

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Thu Jul 06, 2023 2:06 pm

Marsh looking dangerous

Clive 1960 · Post by **Clive 1960** » Thu Jul 06, 2023 2:19 pm

We have bowled really well but again we have been let down in the field 13 drop catches and 1 stumping and this partnership needs breaking soon.

Said the same on TMS and they didn't include 3/4 difficult chances.

Need to split this pair ASAP

alwaysaclaret · Post by **alwaysaclaret** » Thu Jul 06, 2023 2:36 pm

Shame at least 1 of woakes, broad and Robinson are not in the 88-90 mph mould, at times all bowl in fantastic area's but just need that extra 3-5mph, and just as I say that marsh hits one for 6, seriously good batsman, need him gone.

alwaysaclaret · Post by **alwaysaclaret** » Thu Jul 06, 2023 2:40 pm

To only have 4 fiftys in 33 matches he must have a weakness, need to find it.

alwaysaclaret · Post by **alwaysaclaret** » Thu Jul 06, 2023 2:46 pm

Perhaps it would be better to target Head and try to get into the tail.

CoolClaret · Post by **CoolClaret** » Thu Jul 06, 2023 3:01 pm

Moeen into the attack.

I don’t really see it with Robinson - I know he’s had a good year but I don’t think he’s a top level bowler at all

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Thu Jul 06, 2023 3:03 pm

Robinson off injured.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Thu Jul 06, 2023 3:05 pm

These 2 turning it in Aussies favor. Suddenly our bowlers look jaded and lifeless

The Root drop seems to have changed the game. How many more times will we shoot ourselves in the foot this series.

Well, there are two more games after this one so my minimal guess is twice!

DAVETHEVICAR · Post by **DAVETHEVICAR** » Thu Jul 06, 2023 3:25 pm

Dreadful drop catches costing us another match
These 2 still there and Look like getting a score beyond England.
Marsh on 100 and dropped before he got 10
Head dropped also

Excellent century by Marsh.

kentonclaret · Post by **kentonclaret** » Thu Jul 06, 2023 3:26 pm

3 Test hundreds for Mitch Marsh - all against England.

Batting against Wood he looked to have so much time.

You'd take, just need to get those last wickets for around 300-320

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Thu Jul 06, 2023 3:43 pm

Great innings by Narsh. And he walked without a review. Nicely balanced but slight edge to Aussies maybe

RicardoMontalban · Post by **RicardoMontalban** » Thu Jul 06, 2023 3:44 pm

Switched off TMS for a meeting just after Root’s drop, first ball after I switched back on he’s gone. What’ve I missed?…

Was going to say the same, we get in to a great position this morning with hostile bowling and then take our foot off the gas almost as if we've won the game this morning, get wood and broad steaming back in to Travis head and get into the tail, quicker the innings is over more rest the bowlers have, just like Atherton said last test we're playing like it's just another game, it's the ashes for god sake, and there goes marsh we've got him so let's really turn the screw now and play like it's the ashes, here's our chance. Time for broad and wood.

It's a nice fast pitch with even bounce. Great batting conditions.
You either get wickets or play fetch.
