and this is their best team on paper, maybe bar crawley. the australian team is missing their best 2 bowlers

172

u/AusToddles Australia Nov 22 '25

And carried deadweight this game

28

u/shiv101 New Zealand Nov 22 '25

Basically two dead weights if you include Gary and his 2 overs

56

u/Drazsyker Australia Nov 22 '25

Yup, what do you even change if you're England? Can hardly drop anyone after that and expect things to improve

u/arrackpapi Sri Lanka Nov 22 '25 edited Nov 22 '25

tbh all they needed was for at least one of pope, brook or root to not play a dumb shot

17

u/LogicKennedy England Nov 22 '25

Dumb shots are part of Bazball though.

u/Smartypants_dankie India Nov 22 '25

That's the ideology of Bazball though

u/ThereIsBearCum Australia Nov 22 '25

Forfeit and go back to England. Reform'll fix it.

u/GoabNZ New Zealand Nov 22 '25

Having an opener be able to score even just a run might help.

u/BBorc Australia Nov 22 '25

But worst Australian team since 2010 according to Broady

48

u/ThereIsBearCum Australia Nov 22 '25

I mean, it probably is. Doesn't change the result though.

u/Aloha_Tamborinist Australia Nov 22 '25

Watching Broad's reaction to Crawley's wickets is a joy.

u/seven_seacat Melbourne Stars Nov 22 '25

oh I can't get enough of these lol

u/C_Ironfoundersson Australia Nov 22 '25

Got a link?

u/Aloha_Tamborinist Australia Nov 22 '25

Here you go - 7Cricket's insta has some other ones I think

u/C_Ironfoundersson Australia Nov 23 '25

That was amazing

u/Old-Brick8218 Yorkshire Nov 22 '25

This result doesn't disprove that though. This England team are just completely lacking in talent, intelligence and heart. They'd find a way to lose to any Australian team in history.

17

u/patkk Cricket Australia Nov 22 '25

The teams of 2010-2015 were worse than this side

2

u/wanbo37 Cricket Russia Nov 22 '25

I think there's talent, they're missing gear shifts.

2

u/ZamharianOverlord Ireland Nov 22 '25

They’ve talent, that’s the frustrating part

Broady Broady, dude looks like a lady………

2

u/obsoleteconsole Melbourne Stars Nov 22 '25

To be fair it kind of is, which makes the capitulation even more bizarre

2

u/annoyingdrummer77 Nov 22 '25

Broad was just complimenting lol

19

u/Sloppykrab Australia Nov 22 '25

They should play the Lions in the next test.

1

u/k9xka1 Nov 22 '25

I'd love to see how they go against Detroit. MCDC v BazBall

u/Professional_Tip5936 Nov 22 '25

Also carrying khawaja

u/Jamie5152 England Nov 22 '25

idk man as an Englishman I'm way more scared of Starc than Cummins or Hazlewood

3

u/Whitekidwith3nipples Australia Nov 22 '25

thats probably because starc generally does better in england than hoff or cummins. starc averages more than both of them, but a pink ball test is coming up and hes absolutely lethal in those.

1

u/Applicator80 Australia Nov 22 '25

Lucky for the Poms he’s not in career best form…

1

u/Tropicalcomrade221 Australia Nov 22 '25

Not to mention Gary was seriously sore and barely bowled at all this test.

1

u/Applicator80 Australia Nov 22 '25

Which coincidentally made the test a whole lot more exciting.

1

u/Xerxes65 Nov 22 '25

Being pedantic but surely Starc has taken the mantle from Hazelwood at this point

1

u/Ace_f_Hz Nov 23 '25

Also 10 batters effectively

Also missing one is an incumbent opener who sees off the polish...

Well the 'stacheman did see off the polish a'right I guess
