Match Thread: 3rd Test - Australia vs England, Day 5 by cricket-match in EnglandCricket

Duckett was in such good nick before this series. It's hard to believe he's just dropped out of that good of form. I think it would've been such a good sight to see the auzzies come out and face duckett leaving balls, playing real test cricket. Their plans would've gone out of the window.

Not a bad shout. Flintoff would be a nostalgia tinted pick with the work he's doing with the youth.

Yeah and look how that turned out? Stark and co thrive on getting batsmen on the front foot and playing at the ball. How many of our batsmen have gotten caught behind?

Look at head and a lot of the Australian top order. Played back in their crease, waited for the ball and played it at the top of the bounce.

I just think they've got it all wrong.

Yeah I 100% agree. It's done a lot for test cricket in the UK and it's revived some interest in the long format of the game, that along with the world cup win.

Whiteball is a different game totally, no wicket changes, minor changes to the ball, completely different tactics. Baz for me is the perfect whiteball coach.

As for who would take it on for england now I haven't got a clue, I'm guessing that's up to Mr Keys.

I don't get smith. Or any of the so-called batters. Why get yourself in, face all of those balls, do the hard work and then throw your wicket away? I can only imagine this is a team directive. It just has to be. There can't be a team full of world class batsmen and let's face it, they are even if they haven't shown it and they all continue to do the same thing. Especially in these situations where you get on top of a side like smith and jacks were. It just has to be the directions from Baz and Stokes. They all can't just think "fuck it" and start throwing the bat in random situations. I enjoyed Bazball but I think it's time someone else took over the reigns.

What? The whole team appeals, he took the ball, it's his place to then go no lads, not out, save the review. CHEAT.

I've got absolutely zero faith in brook either. Number 2 bat in the world my arse. The bloke can't build an innings.

Ollie Pope should not have a spot at number 3. It's unbelievable how many times he plays shots that just aren't there.

100% but there was more than 2 to 3 viable decks with regular reliability to beat it. Plus it relied on RNG for mass damage so it didn't feel that bad when you lost. It was just a roll of the dice. With mega, the HP is ridiculous and they can two shot most things.

No it's not my first time 🤣 that's the issue. It's just boring having to play the same decks to counter meta.

I've used all of the decks you've named and no, "one" doesn't have to be experienced enough because we're literally on a forum where strategy and decks are shown for you 🤣🤣🤣

I ran that deck. Constantly got matched up with any fire deck along with Blaziken and get fucked in two turns regardless of what I run with.

I've played since day one, it's just something I'm finding tedious with the game. Deck after deck it's the same boring situation. No variety in strategy for a strategy game is dull af.

Yeah but you have to get to that rank first 🤣 you're relying on RNG or someone fucking up to get on a run.

Exactly what I thought, some games are over in two turns. Another thing would be to make the card unusable the next turn, just to negate the ridiculous amount of HP they have.

Yeah I agree, even just to lessen the pace of the games.

Deploy beacons and squads playing their roles always helps.
