Cricket - The Ashes Tour, 2019

On the team cohesion point - wouldn’t it be the blokes that aren’t in the squad that have an issue not the 13 others actually in the squad. Their absence probably made the transition easier.

Some of the fields that Morgan set were very square which was strange considering the pitch and overcast conditions were really suited to bowling full.

Strange for english pitches full stop.

You guys may have seen it over there already but just saw one of Morgan’s pressers and he reckons the Pommie opening bowlers bowled better than ours but without luck :crazy_face:

It’s not luck you farken Irish twat, it’s called pitching the ball up. Only 3 balls in their first 8 overs would’ve hit the stumps the rest mostly short of a length.
It’s also not luck when you have the courage of a 4 year old girl and stand on the square leg umpires toes whilst batting you coward!

There was a stat that 46% of the balls bowled by the aussies were full, compared to 27% to the poms. For a captain Morgan has NFI

he is trying to deflect. It was as poor as an Essendon conference.

Morgan is captaining for his future much like Whoosa is coaching for his future. Both failing massively under the pressure at this stage.

So who are the Poms going for in this game

NZ BRO.

You can take the boy outta Ireland but you can’t take the Irish outta the boy.

All this talk of Captain Morgan is making me thirsty!
