Yes he can be. England were over aggressive in the first 2 test matches & if england had Wood & Woakes from the start I very much doubt Aus would have won a match.

MikeO Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 Magnificant series, possibly the best ever or at least up there. Weather cost us the Ashes but it is what it is, them's the rules. Bailey and Romey 1878 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather cost us the Ashes but it is what it is, them's the rules. The weather is always a factor in English cricket, so it's the job of team captains to adjust. Personally, I would say England lost by declaring too early in the first test and too late in the fourth. Also, the number of extras given up cost the team dearly. More are beginning to realize that the untethered aggression of the first test cost England the match (and Robinson typifies that error by swinging wildly and getting himself out at just the wrong time). But these, on the whole, are fine margins. Both teams had their heroes and both their villains. It's a series we'll remember for some time.

England were over aggressive in the first 2 test matches & if england had Wood & Woakes from the start I very much doubt Aus would have won a match. For me, the difference between teams (and we're talking fine margins) was typified by Robinson. He was an obnoxious taunt and unrestrained as a batsman, typifying that "over aggression" of the first test. If England could have shown more patience, they could have won this series 3-1 - but they didn't and haven't. Most encouragingly for team supporters, they do appear to have learned their lesson.

Cornish Steve Posted September 8, 2023 Report Share Posted September 8, 2023 Wow. I wasn't expecting such a lopsided ODI. After maybe ten overs of the NZ innings, it looked like it would be a close game - but England took no more wickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England got their own back today, though. 8 for 3 at one stage and finished 226 for 7! Great resilience. Bowlers ripped through NZ. Sets the last two games up very nicely.

Being English we do like to give the under dog a fighting chance, that’s why we drop our natural ability to help make a game of it. We are a nation that shows humility, respect, and charity in all aspects of our lives in bucket loads. Formby, Btay and Romey 1878 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
