Got myself boxing day tickets for the MCG & day 3 at the SCG currently. Really hoping the series is still alive by tests 4 & 5!
No reason to fear them, I think our poor record over there is a mental block as much as anything. Hopefully a comprehensive series win vs India will maximise the confidence.
A bit late to the party but well done England.Great win especially after being behind for the whole test.Duckett great both innings What a class player he is turning out to be.Special praise to Zak who batted beaurifully.Probably one of his best batting performances. Well done to the bowlers for not giving up especially Tongue.Great performance by him.I thought Carse bowled well too and i think they both will play next week.If Gus Atkinson is fit id start him over Woakes
Il be honest i was one of the ones screaming 'why didnt we bat 1st?' But what do i know lol.Thats why i love test cricket anything can happen.Looking forward to the rest of the series and the Ashes( il be in Brisbane for the 2nd test) when hopefully we will regain the Ashes..BARMY ARMY🏏

Mainly because he sorted out his technique by showing the full face of the bat and not playing across his pads the whole time and also decided to dump the notion that he needs to go out and smash a quick 50 each and every time he bats.

Nice one mate, im hoping it’s still alive then too as got tickets for the first 4 days at both venues, can’t wait already im due to fly home on the 5th day of the Sydney test, surely it won’t all be in the balance til then?!
Watched basically all of his spell for Sussex , feels a game early. Would have liked him to get another CC game under his belt and then look at the third test

Agreed. Another game. Maybe a week's rest then in for the 3rd test.
Tho maybe they are trying to show him they are keeping faith in him and build confidence. 18 overs is not many at all. Especially with the number we are likely to have to bowl and the fragility of stokes.
Maybe just in the squad but released back to Sussex for the next one?
It's ok to lose from time to time. Even the very best teams do that. But for the England women's team to suffer such a humiliating, 97-run thrashing at home is appalling.
But much, much worse than that is the dreadful attitude. Awful fielding, brainless batting, absent captaincy. And, no-one looking like they either care or even want to be there.

They want the money and security of central contracts, but not the professionalism that comes with them.

There's a womens cricket team?
Saw a bit of it and I wouldn't say they are much of a team.

Their batting lineup looks more panicked than India's!

We got a bus to the ground.
Have a look at the 8th wicket, how the hell is that out?
OWZAT!
COBBER!
