20/37 caught on the leg side, 7 on the boundary. Flower should just ban England from playing hook shots.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
I'm seriously still laughing at the "gotta play your shots mate, get on top of the bowling" approach infecting the English team after all the problems it caused us earlier this year :laugh:

GAME PLANS? We don't need no stinking game plans.

:cry: :cry: :cry:
In many ways I understand why England are doing it. They have been outright called cowards by their press. Broad in particular looked like he literally jumped out of the way of the ball that bowled him in the first innings. They are batting on an absolute road and probably feel they need to send a message before Perth.

I think I would say to my daughters if they were to ask me this question... A shitpost is the greatest gift that you can give someone, the ultimate gift of giving and don't give it to someone lightly, that's what I would say.
And that message is "we don't value our collective wicket. Except Monty."

Well Broad is at best a bowling allrounder he is supposed to play his shots. Cook plays the pull and hook well.

If England just batted timidly again on this wicket which is literally dead now they would be facing bouncers almost every ball on a quicker wicket.

They have to at some point score off the backfoot or they will score no runs and end up just spinning in their tracks.

Dunno, I think any batsman getting out to a lovely hook shot deserves what he gets, but Root and KP looked determined and were done by good bowling, Carberry also could easily be in.

The bad outs make the team look bad, which makes then even dumber.

England are loving crazy, show some commitment.

Dunno why Skull is praising Prior here, there is a time and place to be aggressive and besides they loving suck at the hook shot on a slow pitch, with the Wacca coming up :psyduck:

His 2012 wasn't bad though. His 2011 was much better, averaged over 80. I was wrong about the captaincy thing yeah.

Maybe if it had been Anderson then Prior and Monty could make a stand, but not too keen on englands chances to last the next few overs

Can't believe how many catches are going to the same area - what the gently caress are England doing? Do they even practice any other shots?

Prior's got no game beyond play shots and hope nothing carries to a fielder.

I'd say yes, given that they seem pretty out of practice with the hook shot :v:

The best thing about the current English batting is when the bottom order give absolutely no shits and end up racking up a decent total which mocks the top and middle.

E: it's great because it's not happening to Australia this time, basically.
