Not scheduled for 2022 yet. We play India, NZ, Bangladesh, India (away) and then England in that order. Takes us up to the end on September.
Australia would humiliate us right now. I don't mind losing to anyone right now but would hate to see Warner and Smith grinding us down.

Posted: **Fri Dec 24, 2021 10:49 am**

Yeah, probably. I assume we play them in SA next since they cancelled their last tour because of covid?

Poms cannot take a trick this series. Just lost another toss and Aussie will bowl in steamy conditions with a greenish pitch.

Posted: **Sun Dec 26, 2021 12:11 am**

Oh dear me.

Posted: **Sun Dec 26, 2021 12:41 am**

Being dominated for five tests must be depressing.

Posted: **Sun Dec 26, 2021 2:03 am**

The only good news for the Poms is that Cummings is Aussie skipper and likely to underbowl himself.

3 down at lunch - could have been worse as the ball didn't sip around too much

Why would Buttler play a shot like that at this stage of the game?

Posted: **Sun Dec 26, 2021 6:04 am**

To show Lyon who's boss?

Bairstowe gloves to gulley and England are eight down.

Leach also attacks Lyon, and perishes.

Robinson attempts to dominate Lyon and England are all out for 185.

Ngidi looks fat. With his injury record he should be trimmer imo.

Posted: **Sun Dec 26, 2021 9:21 am**

Root's dismissal shows just how he and his entire side is mentally beaten.

Posted: **Sun Dec 26, 2021 9:22 am**

de Kock drop an easy one. Should left it for 1sr slip.

Posted: **Sun Dec 26, 2021 9:27 am**

First time I see Jansen. Look like another great Saffer quickie.

Posted: **Sun Dec 26, 2021 9:30 am**

Proteas will miss Nortje's express pace. Jansen looks like he'll be handy. A tall left hander and apparently he can bat well too.

Because he is not a Test batsman. One day monster, but neither his keeping nor batting justifies his presence in the team.

That would explain incorrect technique but not the shot selection itself. The situation called for digging in but Eng's bats were incapable of that.

Posted: **Sun Dec 26, 2021 10:55 am**

Proteas clearly very Test rusty. The bowlers are all over the place today. No accuracy or pressure being applied.

Posted: **Sun Dec 26, 2021 11:39 am**

2 in 2 from the Fatty

I can't be bothered checking the figures but he played a decent defensive innings in the second Test, just a few days ago. Makes it worse in a way.

110* for Rahul. India turning the screw.

Posted: **Sun Dec 26, 2021 10:34 pm**

Day 2 of the latest train wreck to commence shortly.

Posted: **Mon Dec 27, 2021 12:41 am**

Wood consistently hitting 150kph and gets Labuschagne for bugger-all

Posted: **Mon Dec 27, 2021 12:48 am**

Following it up with some dross unfortunately.

Posted: **Mon Dec 27, 2021 3:32 am**

Head goes for 27 but Harris picks today to come good. Bugger.

Did Warne just call himself a spinning all-rounder?

He is taking a generous interpretation of "all-rounder"

Posted: **Mon Dec 27, 2021 5:24 am**

Go you good things - 8 down and we have a game

Posted: **Mon Dec 27, 2021 5:27 am**

C'mon England!

Posted: **Mon Dec 27, 2021 6:26 am**

Good effort by the Pom bowlers, but Australia still leads by 82 runs on the first innings.

Can see England being 4 down by the time they wipe that deficit.

Posted: **Mon Dec 27, 2021 6:51 am**

Crawley lucky there

7/2 Will Australia have to bat again?

Posted: **Mon Dec 27, 2021 6:59 am**

Malan goes first ball - ball was just touching the bail (just saying that no other side gets that decision in Oz)

7 for 2

Hat trick ball cleaned up Root - too good though and he couldnt get an edge

Posted: **Mon Dec 27, 2021 7:01 am**

Root did extremely well not to touch the hat trick ball

Posted: **Mon Dec 27, 2021 7:12 am**

This is great bowling from Australia. Everything is a challenge with very little able to be left.

Posted: **Mon Dec 27, 2021 7:24 am**

Hameed gone - that was always on unfortunately

Posted: **Mon Dec 27, 2021 7:26 am**

England are utterly pish

Posted: **Mon Dec 27, 2021 7:27 am**

And the night watchman watched the ball take his off stump.

I bet Leach just wants to go home now

Posted: **Mon Dec 27, 2021 7:27 am**

Boland destroy England

Root excluded, all the England batsmen are batting as if they already want to be on the plane home.
