Australia is just trash in Asia. We are extra trash without any preparation. That 100 run stand by Smith and Warner is only the 4th time ever we have had a 100 run partnership in the 4th innings in Asia. Wade has to go. He is just poo poo. He gave up 30 byes or something ridiculous like that and its going to be the difference between winning and losing.

I also contend that we haven't got that much worse in Asia (asian teams have also improved a lot) but we can no longer duck playing away as much as we used to

iajanus posted:we haven't gotten that much worse, we've been shithouse for ages In the era before the greatest Australian cricket side ever we just never played in Asia. We went decades without winning a test series in India mostly because we barely ever toured there. Australians just cant play spin. Racial trait -20 batting against spin bowling

If he even gave away half of that and Khawaja scored a measly 5 - 10 runs in each innings we would have won by now.

So we fell about 20 short Closer than we deserved to get. Something has to be done about Wade he is a turd. I can deal with an obnoxious cricketer if they are good but he just sucks

England 13 man squad unchanged for the Lord's test. Westley keeps his place.

12 and 13 are Crane and TRJ so he'll play, but I think this is his last chance.

Bit of commentary in Aus about how the Aussies should give their paycheques back etc etc but I reckon we mostly got outplayed. The Bangas are good at home and Shakib is absurdly good. It's certainly not as shameful as losing to the West Indies at home.

I think people don't want to admit that Bangladesh have improved considerably since being granted test status via constant exposure to top level cricket. They were poo poo once, but have developed into a side that can beat anyone on their day.

Whilst what you say is true, there is also the other side that no-one in Australia wants to admit that the Australian Test team is not the world-beater it once was and has descended to the level of mediocrity

Also, Australians are particularly ashamed of being defeated by a poor country of small, dark-skinned men

It's certainly not as shameful as losing to the West Indies at home. I agree that they bowled pretty well but we let ourselves down in a few areas. It was a tough pitch to bat on but Khwaja is just rubbish against spin. Basically a walking wicket and there has to be questions over Wades spot in the team. Outside of that the Bangas did outplay us and put in a pretty good performance. I didn't watch the entire test mind.
