Can I just say if bairstow had caught Carey and Stumped Green we’d have had a 120 plus lead facing the bowlers. The other day a certain wicket keeper made 100+ as his side chased down a record 501. That certain keeper also would’ve got the wicket of Green and Carey.
@@Nothing-kr5hn bairstow is great with the bat. But I just think in a test match forget the batting you need to play your best keeper. That drop of Carey could cost England the match. It would’ve opened up and end right before the new ball came.
Absolutely. Even if it's officially called a batter there's no harm at all in saying batsmen. A few of the commentators have done this so far. Good to see.
The thing is about the foakes omission is that as much as I am a big fan of bairstow its clear that foakes is the better wicket keeper imo anyway 🤔 I also dont nesacerily agree with the argument that they cant both Be in the team personally aswell 🤣
@@martinjones6762Well Thats a possibility pal obviously you have to drop someone tho don't you🤣 but what makes me laugh is when people say you cant play them both that's all 🤣that being England might not play a spinner in the next test match because moeen ali is struggling with an injury in this test match by the looks of it so I would be surprised if he played in the next test match but whether they would go like for like and replace him with another spin bowler is anyones guess rehann Ahmed possibly if it is like for like I would guess really 🤔
So short sighted pretending that it has to be Bairstow vs Foakes. They've played together before. Both openers are completely disposable regardless of Crawley scoring a 50. He'll get plenty of single figures this series as well.
England need atleast 450plus runs in second innings to be safe side, be focus and careful to left the ball otherwise they will lose wicked again without any reason. Let's see on day four. Enjoy!!
Bairstow isn't a top class keeper, so he's always going to miss chances. Not necessarily all the time, but it will happen. He just doesn't have the ability, not to mention the agility. He's a rock. He's a fantastic batsmen so he should be in the side but for my money Foakes should be in the team, probably for Duckett, who concerns me against the top class Australian bowlers, especially the quicks. Let Bairstow open.
Miss the Commentary of Geoff Boycott and others. These day's just boring, weak, no experience at this level commentary, killed the men's game off. Atherton, always been top notch though.
@@wayneperry7413 I said to take them more seriously, they should have played the sport at the same level. Someone who never faced bowling at 90mph, I don't want ur commentary on how it should be played. Rather put on Mute, like most ppl do these days.

Warner haters: “He can’t play when there is movement.” Broad praised how good he is & that he needed to look at Warner’s weaknesses to stop him from scoring. Warner made an easy 43 (worth double) against India when the ball moved around everywhere like it was spinning in India.
2nd new ball is too old, England missed their chances unfortunately. We bat too deep, everyone in our tail can bat. The only way England takes wickets iis if we get too greedy or we get a ball of the century from Ali again 😂.
Mel’s played plenty of cricket for Australia and in Australia in the late 90’s early 00’s. There wasn’t the greatest infrastructure around the women’s game back then. Try and keep your misogyny in check while you let a woman have an opinion yeah?
@@khizarhasan1585 babar is the best batsman of all time on flat roads & highway pitches against teams like srilanka, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Namibia. He is an incredible captain who lost 0-3 at home against Eng .... he is a better captain than imran khan.....
ollie robinson rubbish should have selected wood instead. at least pace could have broken up the partnerships. robinson with his 78mph nonsense proving nothing of use. anderson could easily just bowl the same and have low economy rate
The thing is Foakes is actually a brilliant batsman as well

It’s all Harry Brook’s fault 😂
Ifs and buts
If reviews were left or lyon hold the ball Australia would have won that famous Edgbaston test

Yeah I agree but up to now who can argue with the new (bazball) approach, exciting and full of drama as if the Ashes needed any more of that😖
Atherton is just so good to listen to
Bairstow had the highs and lows
I am happy that finally someone is raising awareness for a disease that affect men only. More power to you !
Cricket ??
Prostate cancer
Michael Atherton is genuinely a nice bloke.
When you're batting for a men's team, you are a batsman!
❤

Its not that serious my guy
@@janga75 it definitely is!
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

Warner, labuchagne and Smith partly gifted Thier wickets away, the slight lapse in concentration bite them.

even as an Aus fan, i can't believe they left out Foakes. Easily the best gloveman in england, and one of the best in the world.

Didn’t fancy getting a vision mixer in for this one did they
can listen to Athers for hours
And nas, them two are the best on sky alongside bumble but not sure if he's been kicked off sky
Bob would’ve loved this match, and would definitely have a few words for YJB for those misses
They didnt discuss Khawajaz monumental effort alot. More chat was on non issues.
shows their biasness n prejudice.
Well said !!!
@@SaddamHussain-we9ec baqwaas bas kar. Embarrassing. They talked enough about Usman throughout the day.
If bairstowe goes and gives it the eyes and smashes a ton in the second innings.. It will be forgotten.. Them's the breaks!
He has never made a 2nd innings ton when playing as a keeper
@@shankarmony70 thanks.. But not sure I get the point... First time for everything.. Hope he gets one soon! 👍
I'd love to see Root opening with Crawley, and Foaks as Wicket-keeper 🙂
Root opening?! Dropping ducker after his recent form?! You must be joking!
@@Mazzaspazza let's be real duckett won't score a half century this ashes, cummins and hazlwood and even boland are unbelievable
@@YerDaEatsCrayons10 Duckett has been exceptional
Not saying he will not saying he won’t but he deserves to be in this team
How many times did you count KP saying 'IPL'
Love the ashes. Love cricket in england. I support england, the underdogs.
The labuschange dismissal wat 30% good ball, 70% terrible shot. Easily left. It was 2 ft outside off.
I love these podcasts omg brilliant work ❤️
Gilchrist's occassional dropped catch ( no more than healy in statistics) or no super fast match winning runs???
Who will win this test match. Or it will be drawn??
So glad sky have stuck to their guns with men pundits.😊 so much better

Gower back please!
Over confident England 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This pitch is like sub continental pitchs dry in nature
Cameraman absolutely on one today
England's foolish declaration is going to comeback and bite them before this game is over.
My thoughts exactly
I like KP on comms.
England need atleast 450plus runs in second innings to be safe side, be focus and careful to left the ball otherwise they will lose wicked again without any reason. Let's see on day four. Enjoy!!

Very low looking Pietersen and Athers 😂😂😂
Its lovely how England celebrates and braoudcast cricket,having ton of money for bcci yet fails even to maintain anything
All out by lunch with 30 in it…

Yeah, Wood in place of Robinson, and Woakes in place of Ali to be honest.
Mark wood is having a baby so he can’t really play at the moment
And also kylia you need a proper spinner especially on the last day
England miss a trick on this flat pitch pace wins
