Archer could have won us the Ashes in the last 24 hours.
They are properly rattled.

Re: England vs Australia 2nd test
I think we need Archer to concuss Roy in the nets before Leeds

I actually don't think that is funny and is in poor taste given what happened to Hughsy in similar circumstances!HunterST_BFC wrote:I think we need Archer to concuss Roy in the nets before Leeds
Re: England vs Australia 2nd test
Btw, when did the new rule come in that you could replace a batsman or bowler like for like?
Re: England vs Australia 2nd test
So can anybody clear this up for me. Smith gets hit on arm. Carries on batting. Then gets hit on helmet. Goes off for concussion check. Comes back out to bat in attempt to get a century. After he is out he goes for xray on his arm. Aussies then claim delayed concussion and play a sub. Smith now saying he expects to play at Headingley ! Sounds like more Aussie cheating to me.
Re: England vs Australia 2nd test
It's a new rule relating to just concussions. That's why England couldn't replace Anderson in the 1st Test.Spijed wrote:Btw, when did the new rule come in that you could replace a batsman or bowler like for like?

Wow how special is Archer?
Aussies not cheating, Smith passed the concussion tests yesterday failed them today so gets changed, totally sensible and fair and in keeping with the new rules.

Don’t think getting hit on the head by a cricket ball at 90MPH is particularly convenient but hey everyone to there own.

Re: England vs Australia 2nd test
We scored too many for them to chase.
We should of been bold and give them 215 to chase. Just out of reach but low enough to keep them interested.

Easy to look back and say that but I was thinking the same earlier today. You have to gi e them a total they can reach to tempt them surely.Quickenthetempo wrote:We scored too many for them to chase.

Looked like they waited until Stokes got his ton as well which is poor, team has to come first. 5 extra overs of bowling might have been a big difference maker

Players must know whether they've caught a ball or not.
Re: England vs Australia 2nd test
I just hope the Aussies don't start insinuating that Root cheated as it could easily affect his game.

Agree. How the 3rd umpire couldn't see that I'm not sure. Also, not sure what the original umpires decision of out had on the out decision, if indeed it did.Claretmatt4 wrote:Not out for me, definitely hit the ground first

One angle looked like he didn’t catch it, another one looked like he did.
That’s why they have the soft signal.

The side view was inconclusive but on the head on it was plain to see that it hit the ground before going in the hands.Bordeauxclaret wrote:I’m sure he’ll think “**** them”.

Re: England vs Australia 2nd test
If there was any doubt I think that Roy ensured that he won't be selected for Headingley after today.
I think that we would have probably won this test had he taken that routine catch.

Roy's confidence is shot i'm afraid,but if he doesn't play at Headingley who on earth replaces him?.nil_desperandum wrote:If there was any doubt I think that Roy ensured that he won't be selected for Headingley after today.

And this is the problem that England have.
The fielding from both sides was surprisingly shoddy in this test.
The quick turn around should benefit England,they are the team with the wind in their sails.
And the Aussies struggled to contain Archer,he brings that x-factor.
And Leach had a good test which should give him belief he belongs at this level.
Great to see Stokes score a ton,and Buttler and Bairstow support him handily,I'd definitely bat ben at 5 from now on.
England do still have issues in the top 4,Roy,Root and Denly don't look like troubling the scorers overly much,and Burns will fail at some stage.
But on the opposite side the Aussies also have problems in their top 4 Bancroft,Warner and Khawaja failed again,Labuschagne scoring runs won't surprise anyone who follows the CC,he's piled on plenty for Glamorgan this season,but if Steve Smith does miss out it will be a major blow for them.
You wonder if that will be seen as a Glenn McGrath 2005 moment when he trod on the ball prior to the 2nd test at Edgbaston,the momentum shifted almost immediately,and although he returned for the 4th test England had the bit between their teeth by then.
Over the 2 matches i haven't seen a huge gulf between these teams,Smith's brilliance was the difference at Birmingham,and Lyon is a world-class spinner,but he came up empty-handed in England's 2nd innings and went for a 100+,that can't improve his confidence.
According to the forecasters,the weather's set fair for all 5 days in Leeds,so touch wood we get another engrossing test.

Well they might as well give Dom Sibley a go. He's young and has potential.tiger76 wrote:Roy's confidence is shot i'm afraid,but if he doesn't play at Headingley who on earth replaces him?.
.
OK, he got a duck today but he has almost 1000 runs in Div 1 and averages just short of 60.
As you say Roy is shot, so they could try any of the younger openers with no loss to the team.
(I note that Ballance also got a duck today and Lyth scored 4, but they've had their chances)

Wouldn't surprise me if Roy still plays in the next test in the hope that he comes good.nil_desperandum wrote:Well they might as well give Dom Sibley a go. He's young and has potential.

I love watching him in the white ball game, but he has absolutely no orthodox technique at all to face a quality Australian attack in high pressure games.

Re: England vs Australia 2nd test
Hopefully with momentum shifting the flair players in the side might take it to the Australian bowling attack. They have bowled very well as a unit but we have sat back and let them bowl to us.
Apart from Stokes yesterday who made them look very ordinary indeed for a little while.

Re: England vs Australia 2nd test
So we drop Roy now and send out the message you have 3 tests to make A couple of scores not sure that is right. I haven’t seen any of the ashes but we know what he does, he is affectively a dasher he is likely to get out edging to slip etc a lot whilst playing a flamboyant drive but when he comes off he will win us matches on his own. There was no point selecting him if he was going to get dropped more or less immediately, better option would be to move him down the order I think if we know he won’t make it as an opener in tests.
Re: England vs Australia 2nd test
Agreed. I think he could come in at 3 with Denly opening. Moves Root back to 4.JarrowClaret wrote:So we drop Roy now and send out the message you have 3 tests to make A couple of scores not sure that is right.

Re: England vs Australia 2nd test
More often than not over the past 2 or 3 years there's been virtually no difference between opening and batting at No. 3. Almost always coming to face a virtually new ball.RVclaret wrote:Agreed. I think he could come in at 3 with Denly opening. Moves Root back to 4.

Re: England vs Australia 2nd test
But if you'd actually seen him bat you'd understand that it's not his low scores, it's the way he's approached it. He just hasn't looked comfortable at all. It's as though he's never played an orthodox innings against the red ball.JarrowClaret wrote:So we drop Roy now and send out the message you have 3 tests to make A couple of scores not sure that is right.

It's difficult to see him being able to work at his technique in the 3 days before the next test.

Re: England vs Australia 2nd test
I have seen him bat many times just not in the Ashes but I concede your point is valid there maybe something in his innings that I haven’t Seen that suggest he will never make it in international red ball Cricket. The way he plays is the way he plays he has been brought in as a dasher and told to play his natural game there seems little point in picking him knowing that the way he plays would mean there would be failures and probably embarrassing ones. We have to give him a chance for me and i’m not sure 3 matches constitutes a chance. if we drop him we would seem to be heading back to the dreadful selection process of the 80s and 90s.

Re: England vs Australia 2nd test
The problem is that the "pundits" tend to give mixed messages imo. In one breath they'll say a chap should be told he's in for a series and will be given X number of games to find his feet and prove himself (or not), but then on the other hand they say such a body clearly isn't up to it or his technique is suspect and the selectors should move on. they can't have it both ways tbh.
I've got tickets for day on at Old Trafford so I hope by then we've won at Leeds and the series is bubbling up nicely! (And that the sun is out!! )

Maybe Roy doesn’t even want to play test cricket.
Re: England vs Australia 2nd test
Instead of Roy faffing about and ending up with a low score he might as well just play his normal game and try and get 30-40 runs with only a few overs gone.
Even if he gets out cheaply he's unlikely to last long by batting more slowly either way.
