They sure do. And yes 6/7 is a fair argument for his retention. Having said that Richardson did get his own five for in Adelaide and looked very dangerous on occasions. The other thing to remember CA always prepares Sydney to turn (hate it) so they may be looking at a second spinner...
Gooch and Root a pair of nervous wrecks you mean. Be good to win in England 4-1 again. Gooch topped the run scoring too that series despite is side taking a hammering.
I was 9 in that series. The big reason I remember it is I had the VHS tape of the series and watched it billions of times and used to collect news articles on that series and cricket in general in a scrapbook. Held onto that scrapbook until 2019 when my grandmother passed away as she had kept it even after I moved out for my move to SA.
That would be embarrassing. Was that '93.
Yep it was. Pretty sure he quit after the 3rd Test if my memory serves me correctly.
Nah i reckon the fact that they've been on the road so much with all those covid bubbles they've had to be in has left them cooked.
Mate no offense re your age. I did delete that part of my post but you were a touch too quick for me. I used to have VHS tapes of Test cricket too. Useless now with new technology.
Maybe you should have a look at Rob Moody's twitter account. His handle is robelinda
If that was the case then the England were still in the series.. only two down with one draw. I'd say it was after the next match that he was replaced as the Poms copped an innings an 148 run hiding.
Robelinda is Rob Moody. I used to viewed a great deal of cricket footage from Robelinda's UT acct.
Aussies were also in these bubbles. What's more we have barely played any Test cricket this past 12 months. If anyone was overcooked or underdone it should be us.
Hardly because we couldn't actually travel.
The Test at Leeds where my childhood hero Allan Border got an unbeaten double century and Steve Waugh and David Boon each got centuries. Remember it well.
Didn't our blokes play in the early rounds of the Shield prior to the series?
Our cricketers traveled on white ball tours Sooz. England, India, UAE are three I recall.
Yeah whiteball. that's it
Not this year. Most were in India/UAE for IPL. Josh Hazlewood for instance had not bowled a red ball in anger since last January before the First Test this series. Little wonder he broke down as his body was only attuned to bowling four overs at a time.
The fourth Test. Had to be as ECB is not going to sack a skipper if the series is still alive.
