Chappell almost 80... still sharp
mark taylor gives you straight up. the best australian tactician captain. both-ian and makr-- give you straight up!
As a kid have always admired and loved Australia it’s cricket and it’s culture!!Love Ian Chappell he is an awesome commentator and has tons of knowledge of the game!!Such a good insight on the game
Mr Ian Chappell I am from India,always like your commentry.along side Late Tony Greig simply fantastic.
Fabulous discussion, really really good. So unbiased and objective, really nice to see from the aussies👍
Yeah these guys are very good unlike Shane Warne who talks total nonsense.
Tbh it hurts even more seeing the aussies annoyed that we aren't making it a contest and not just happy cruising their way to 5-0 😂
Chappell's unbiased, honest , straight up comments have certainly been missed in Channel 7s commentary, which is just "the boys in the pub" team. .
its even worse on Kayo's coverage. Warne & Mark waugh can be unbearable on the fox sports commentary. Abc radio is always the best to listen to
Definitely !! Some of the 7 guys are a bit senile to say the least !! Ponting only guy making good comment !!
It’s so good to listen to Ian Chappell speaking cricket .
As an Englishman I agree with Ian Chappel & Tubby, you guys know exactly what is wrong with England and are astute observers, in the same league as Benaud. I don't think Burns should be opening either and the whole selection policy despairs me. I saw Parkinson in a T20 at Headingly. He would benefit from being thrown in at the deep end because he rips the ball. Leach won't develop any further as a spinner. He doesn't have the accuracy or guile to get wickets that don't give him turn, not that he gets much on turners anyway. Only the weather will stop the Aussies winning 5-0. I hoped it might have been 3-1 but that disappeared after the 1st Innings at the Gabba.
I'm normally not a fan on using International matches as a training ground but there could be some merit in bringing in Parkinson - or at least there would be if he was in the squad. Looking at his record, he has to be one of the best spin prospects England has so I'd be trying to find ways to get him into the setup and get experience (away from the short-form stuff while he's still learning).
In the short-term, perhaps it's worth looking at whether Robinson's spin is actually a viable option and getting him to bowl both pace and spin at different stages. Compliment him with another spinner - either Leach or Bess, depending on who the selectors have more faith in at this stage - and go in with two other pacers. That way you've got two pacers, Robinson bowling pace and spin, another spinner, and Stokes. Make sure one of those two pacers is Wood because of his extra speed.
Then sort out the batting.
Burns would have stayed for me - he's our second highest scorer this year and he missed some tests through injury. Even with his wonky technique he is the best of the rest. Crawley can't buy a run and has a terrible record. If he does fire I'd prefer him at 3
A fantastic, insightful show. I have thoroughly enjoyed each one that I've watched, as well as the Sky quartet of Atherton, Hussein, Key and Ward. Thanks to the presenter and the experts, Ian and Mark for telling it how it is, even though it isn't great to hear as an England supporter whi usually goes down to Trent Bridge each summer. Happy Christmas!
Icc boss gregcheppel sir
So glad to hear Chappelli mention Renshaw, he looked like our best opener option for a long time and shouldn’t have moved to the middle order.
@@Daniboi971renshaw will play for aus not eng
@@careerscoop5241 Posting the same thing as a reply to every comment is not going to make this happen. It just annoys people.
@@Daniboi971 So much for the sentiment in the Australian national anthem welcoming people from overseas...
I for one don't give a rats where he was born. He's chosen to be Australian and I'd love to see him back in the Test side.
I'm an Englishman but have always admired the Australian willingness to tell like it is. 100% agree with Ian and Mark.
Agree
Bollocks- slagging off James Anderson and very snooty about his away record : I’ve just gone to wisden and seen Jimmy averages 24 for his last 100 wickets away from home, yet listening to these two he’s only any good in home conditions
@@oliverdesvaux well They are talking rubbish slagging off Anderson and broad m8 and even more so when you consider they have both only played once in this series I think and not once in tandem it's a myth that Anderson and broad dont take wickets away from home. I think joe root would look pretty stupid wagging his finger at a bloke who has taken 500 plus test wickets and jimmy Anderson single handedly dragged us back into the third test seemt and then we got skittled for 68 inside 28 overs and the rest is history the batting in this series from England has been nothing short of pathetic quite frankly m8 it has been for a while now 🤣
@@simonoliver8576 they picked Woakes ahead of Anderson based on the recent World Cup and Robinson ahead of Broad because he’s ten years younger?!
Still not quite sure why they thought not opening with Broad round the wicker to Warner on Day 1 at Brisbane after their 1:2:1’s last series would make perfect sense. Utterly clueless decision making and the definition of shooting yourself in the foot
Short leg was made for small players lol. We had James Taylor there who used to catch everything before his unfortunate retirement due to his heart condition.
Was a good player
One of my almost favourite commentators Mark Taylor.
Me too
Always great to listen to Chappelle!
Very enjoyable show again… A couple of legends there! Matt knows his cricket too not just his footy
Australia are better at batting, bowling, fielding and tactics. Apart from that England aren't bad.
Not in england your not stats back it up as well.
@@traitorsgate9516 india still dominated england in england this time...
@@ayushsingh8087 India's situation is absolutely pathetic, just as it's yours!!
I miss insightful commentary from channel nine. I guess I will have to settle for this. Best review of them all. Subscribed.
I just loves these type of conversations 👍💯
Any day chapelli the best commentator ever for me , because his observations skills are outstanding,he along with Nasser Hussain ,Simon doull, Mark dougless ,Harsha, to add up spice would be terrific to watch
These 2 are spot on. The main reason we’re the best team in the world at white ball cricket is Eoin Morgan. He’s one of the best cricket captains we’ve ever had. I’m surprised we didn’t make him test captain.
Kinda like Finch, some lack luster test appearances early on then basically banished from red ball
@@jxswu3224 true.
He didn't play test cricket much
Agree. Morgan is an amazing captain. Very few words but you can see how much the players respect him. His confidence is his bowlers is amazing and I would credit alot of Adil Rashid's rise to Morgan. 'Paralysis by analysis' was a brilliant analogy.... thats exactly what England are suffering from in Test level.
The best cricket show on planet earth. Chapelli and Tubby gave us a masterclass of how cricket is to be played. Or for that matter how any sport needs to be played. Rare insight into why Australians excel in sports. Not just the players, the moderators, the broadcasters keep reinforcing the right values, year after year, decades after decades. Humans can live by most of Australian values. Thank you Ian Chappell for being Ian Chappell.
You're kidding !!!
Really? How many have you watched?
B
Shivdeep kuchh tameez seekho aap cricket kai bare me
@Tech SUPPORT No- a person who doesn't value cheating.
English cricket is focused too much on the one day formats. Shefield Shield is the backbone of the Aussie test success.
P.P.S. This show is brilliant. No holds barred. Love the presenter, Chappell and Taylor. Great lads'.
Just watched the end of the third test in Melbourne. In the post-match media conference, Joe Root is starting to remind me of Kim Hughes.
Foakes should be in the team all day everyday
Best keeper in England.
How can they be so sure that Cummins is a top captain already? He has played one match as captain against a massively struggling and out of form england team who were missing several players. Easy to look good when you are winning, let's see how he goes when Australia have their backs against the wall.
It's more a judgement call based on character. I so agree though. Captaincy is more than just being a leader. Unfortunately it seems like joe root lacks everything in regards to captaincy besides being a top class batsman.
Australia have 3 subcontinent tours next year
We’ve won one test in the subcontinent in the last 10 years
It will be a test of his captaincy and a test of the whole team in general
Who were England missing ?
They were missing players due to their own poor selections.
And with those players included England still lost .by nearly 300 runs in Adelaide.
Suck it up !
@@darrenhill2326 So poor selection still means that certain players are missing so you are proving my point.. Anderson, Broad, even Archer would have made a difference in the 1st test. 2nd test is irrelevant as Cummins wasn't involved which is who my comment is about. Everybody understands that Australia are the better team, I'm merely stating that Cummins can't be judged at all based on one match, let alone the one series. Not denying his character at all, but that doesn't necessarily make a good captain at this stage.
@@maxkurn6928
They were missing due to selection, not injury. So that's a feeble excuse.
Australia had it's 2 best bowlers missing in Adelaide and won in a cakewalk.
You're making weak excuses for England's failure.
All my mates ( I’m from England) thought it would go this way. Our batting has been very average for sometime. Roots captaincy is not good enough and the selection is just perverse.
The seam bowling is the strong point but the tactics ( bowling short etc ) are wrong.
It’s not looking good.
Average? It is well below average.
@@dickmonkey-king1271 Somebody in commentary was saying that the best English players in the County average around 35. Not even 40. That is really poor for a test side.
@@arupchattopadhyay7035 indeed. This is a truly terrible team. Ten years ago our worst batsman was Collingwood, but he averaged 40 in tests, and scored a double century in Australia against Warne and McGrath. This current team is really really bad.
@@dickmonkey-king1271 Here's my perspective as an Australian watching this trainwreck unfold.
The batting's been the best part of England's tour so far - yes, Stokes is out of form and Pope, Burns and Hameed are about as useful as mermaids in a dancing troupe, but Malan and Root have repeatedly stolen momentum with their partnerships across both matches, and Buttler and Woakes nearly snatched victory from us last match in a fine display of defensive batting. And while Buttler's keeping has been spotty, giving Bairstow the gloves and Pope the boot might be enough for us to see the best of him with the bat. And while Root's batting has been pretty good this year, his captaincy likely won't last past this series the way things are going.
But in order to win matches, you need to take twenty wickets - and part of England's failure to do so has been due to sub-standard fielding, admittedly. However, the biggest mistake England's selectors have been making for decades is the selection of trundlers over tearaways for Australian tours. Given that both Stokes and Woakes are competent fast-medium seamers, England don't need MORE of them in the 11 to take the new ball. In future, Wood and Archer should be the new-ball pair for Ashes tests; Wood can swing the ball regardless of age, Archer's an enforcer par excellence, and both have the requisite pace to make life difficult for Australia. Furthermore, Anderson and Broad should never play a match again - not least because the pair have (a), had more than enough time in the side; (b), they're long since past their best, and (c), they're keeping younger and faster bowlers from getting a fair go.
And as far as improving player selection is concerned, what could be done is having a round robin of four-day matches after the County Championship's finished every year, with teams comprised of the best players from each county side in a given region - for example, having sides representing the North (Derby, Lancs, Yorks and Durham), the Midlands (Leics, Northants, Notts, Warks and Worcs), the Southwest (Gloucs, Hants, Somerset and Glamorgan) and the Southeast (Sussex, Essex, Middlesex, Kent and Surrey) - followed with a grand final between the two highest-ranked teams at the round robin's end. This would help enforce a higher standard of play in the domestic scene and give the English set-up a better idea of which players are suitable for Test cricket - not to mention that It would be a better use of funding than the Hundred.
@@dickmonkey-king1271 I said very average
Ian Chappell knows his keepers though, Foakes should definitely be the keeper
The Pom side that came to Australia and got clobbered by Mitchel Johnson were a much better side.
Great chat, good takes by tubby, very knowledgeable cricketer
This shows How Great Indian team is. Beating Australia in Aus & beating England in Eng.🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Who cares
India have very good bowlers now
@@MrErnest200 Non of your buisness. 😂😂

Hey nice show. One complaint though, I went through your video uploads and didn’t find anything like this when India and Australia played last January 😜
T20 world cup win has given a confidence boost to this AU team. They are back to their best. England right now are looking clueless.
Yup. I'm English. We suck at Test now. No one has really cared about cricket here for 10 years and it breaks my heart. My son is the only boy in his school of 800 who even knows who Root is, who Stokes is, who Kohli or Smith are.
@@realMaverickBuckley very sad 😭😭😭. Why that's happening??
@@willsocietyacceptmecauseio1276 one word: soccer. its sad. it’s happening over here with cricket. people like afl which is fair enough because it’s an amazing sport but test cricket has definitely seen a big decline. it’s sad to see the oldest, most historical form of the game fade away
This is gold. This is why I always thought of Australia as our ultimate rival. Ever since we gave up on Pakistan as real enemy and focused on Australia under Ganguli we became a better team.
Australia always battered india when ganguly was there. And india didn't want to play Pakistan in the odi in the 90s .look at the pak vs india odi records
@@edge803 Stop substance abuse. Visit nearest psychiatrist ward. Seek help.
@@edge803 I'm from England and always knew Pakistan was a better team than India used to watch alot of Sharjah series and Pakistan used to pummel India with ease just lately Pakistan team has lost its way and still beat India here and there
Nasser's side in 2002 needs to be in the conversation, they were so weak that Nasser was throwing his team under the bus to the media. Graeme Swann retiring mid tour completely boned the Poms in 2013. Mitch Johnson giving Jonathan Trott an emotional breakdown.... Oh and Renshaw deserves a chance, he outscored Watto's top score for Australia in his 4th match :D
England were strong we on paper in 2013.
Nasser’s team atleast won a game in 2002 lol. 2013/17 were definitely worse.
Jonathan Trott had mental health problems and I doubt that Mitchell Johnson was much of a factor, although the hostility of the series overall might have been.
The Swann abandonment was shocking.
@Stuart Russell But Australia have held the Ashes for a long time now so it's more one sided than the statistics might show. England massively underperformed in 2019 despite Ben Stokes's efforts.
Taylor and Chapelli are some of the best cricket analysts there is
Indian media & journalists should watch this discussion and learn.
Fabulous discussion.
Dan Lawrence should play , everybody seems to have forgotten his 2 big hundreds for the lions in Australia last year. I’d bring him in for Pope who has a big problem with spin , plus Crawley to open and bairstow for buttler with the gloves.
Bairstow who is now a walking wicket? Huge gap between bat and pad will not last three overs in Australia.
@@peternagy-im4be his best performances have always been at 7 with the gloves , he got ruined by the move em up the order brigade , he’s no top 5 batsmen but he’s a better keeper than buttler, and has got a test hundred in Australia.
We lost the Ashes just before the first test with our poor team selection and the decision to bat first in conditions perfect for bowling. That set the victory up for Australia and it was pretty much game over.
@Prathamesh absolutely.
If australia would have batted first still they would have won so toss np
@@kanwarpreetsinghbrar5450 not if we’d picked Broad and bowled first you wouldn’t. They were perfect bowling conditions.
I mean I may sound ridiculous but if England assess the conditions looks cloudy and rainy right now in my weather app if they can play well to win at the mcg maybe the stand a chance but it’ll be tough. Hopefully Boxing Day test is an entertaining one and not one sided
With the exception of Joe Root there doesn't seem to be anyone capible of holding a bat.
You can determine a team's morale by their commitment in the field. It's not the only way, but it's an excellent way.
England's best bowling attack of Anderson, Broad, Wood, Stokes and Leach, is not a bad attack, and after the third test, are playing ok. But the English batsman, apart from Joe Root, are absolutely all at sea! Root needs some support in the top order. In the third test, to restrict Australia to the mid-200s wasn't a bad effort by the English bowlers. But then England's top order just looked like backyarders in both innings.
Ian Chappell and Mark Taylor have got England’s woes, problems, troubles etc absolutely spot on and the English team had better start heeding what they say. Otherwise England will continue to be so poor that the Australians will get bored and so too will the cricketing loving public in both England and Australia, one country’s people being tired of easy victories and walkovers and the people of the other tired of heavy, abject, shameful and humiliating defeats. The Ashes may not continue if things continue like this, as it seems the only way England not to get squashed and trampled all over by Australia is not to play them at all. The Aussies have a strong pride playing for their country, something alas the English players seem to lack. The 3rd Test in Melbourne where the Australians, having got a relatively low total of 267 did not even have to bat again, is a classic example.
Of course, on occasion the Australians have performed badly, 47 all out against New Zealand and 60 all out against England a few years ago - but the big difference is that England play so badly so much, much , more regularly. I shall be surprised if this does not happen again in Sydney and Hobart - England may even “achieve” the lowest score ever in an innings in cricket ever, if what happened in Melbourne is repeated.
I say sorry to Australians that England did not put on a better display - the late Ritchie Benaud would have been so, so disappointed by England’s performance and he would be absolutely right.
As an England fan it is interesting to hear so many Aussies say they're surprised at how bad England have been. I guess Aus fans not been following the England test team as closely as England fans have (which is a fairly obvious thing to say).
Actually as an Aussie I`d like to see the English team do better in this series, as it`s starting to look a bit boring !! a close match is a good match !!
They expect a fight. They didn't get one.
We need Chappell, Tubby and CO. In the commentary box again.
The joy Australians have when Eng aren't doing well. Priceless.
I like Ian Chappell sharp analysis and completely agree about butler..Foakes should be the test team keeper..One of Bairstow or butler can play as the batter..
please not buttler. he does nothing
Both teams, Australia and England, having been beaten by India at their respective homes are now fighting for appropriately names Ashes.
England make Australia look so good…
India hasn't won the series yet ..the series is still incomplete 🤡
Only Root and Stokes would start in this Australian side, that tells you all you need to know.
if it's the version of Stokes that has played in this series so far, he wouldn't get anywhere near it.
@@MrMmnngghh agreed
@Tech SUPPORT Only over Richardson and Boland, not in a full strength side.
@Tech SUPPORT Not for me, especially on a flat track as Hazlewood can bowl perfect line and length just like Jimmy but he has that extra pace on a dry wicket. I'd have Anderson instead of anyone on a green top English wicket with a swinging Duke ball, but just about anywhere else in the world the Aussie trio are better. Starc blows hot and cold so he's closer in my opinion, but fully fit Cummins and Hazlewood are like Lee and McGrath.
@Tech SUPPORT would pick Anderson ahead of Stokes in that context. Melbourne and Hobart's conditions compliment Anderson's skillset so we could see hom do a bit more yet.
Robinson's kept chipping away. Not seen him drop his head at any point, and has produced some tasty spells.
Hameed's in trouble. Great attitude but no runs to show for it.
ian chappel...alwys high esteem for u sir
As Geoff Boycott says.. " Nothing will change, it never does "
Is the trim falling off the desk rhs? love the show btw
As an Englishman I hate to say it but I agree with Chappell and Taylor..... there’s practically no fight being shown aside from Root Malan and Butler in the 2nd test
"Paralysis by analysis",wonderful.
I always respected Mark, this one honorable australian, he has self respect, never afraid to call a spade, among this big bunch of rubbish like langer and ian chapell etc.
I still remember Mark's comments from 1999, after shameful victory for australia in hobart, with the help of australian umpire.
Chappell isn't afraid to call a spade either. He's very outspoken. What's your issue with him?
@@bobagorof he’s always yelling at clouds
Someone said 80 odd runs lead probably too much for england to chase in the end..... He is quite right...
Asking the bowlers to attack with the new ball on day one, what enlightened thinking.
Ozzies, Tubs and Chappelli, both ex-Australian captains, explaining how the Poms are rubbish. Great stuff.
Best brain I have ever heard... Not only his talks are on the dot regarding cricket but they are on the dot if you apply them in your life.... Learned lot from Ian Chappel sir... Regards to him
Ian Chappel was right all along even before the series started. No one like him now. He is cricket's treasure
A year can bring so many changes i never believe that 😮
Please bring back channel 9 coverage
Ian Chappell - absolutely brilliant and always focus on solutions. Brillant mindset.
Pat Cummins is such a great player - but I just have that gut feeling whenever Steve Smith is captain that he is the right one (captain) for the team. It inspires his batting - you can just tell he loves it and the team really look up to him.
I feel Cummins is just a puppet captain. Steve Smith is real one.
I suspect that Cummins could take or leave the captaincy but Cricket Australia allowed the public momentum to build to a point where he felt he couldn’t refuse the job. The team (especially the ones who were in South Africa in 2018) would be happy to have Smith back as captain but CA lacked the courage to stare down remaining voices of outrage.
@@opalruby13 Cummins is the right guy to front the media too, a real gentlemen.
Smith is lucky he’s even playing test cricket let alone being captain.
@@trimad6128 That dude is best after Bradman. Stop being so salty.
To beat Australia in Australia you need fast bowlers who can outbowl the Aussie pacers . That's why South Africa have won their last 3 tours down under mainly with the performances of Steyn , Morne Morkel , Rabada and co and India have done the last 2 times with their young pace attack .
That , plus U have to fight fire with fire. Australian cricket sides have been historically naturally aggressive, whether it's bowling, batting or fielding. To win in Australia , U have to have grit and fire, if U show any fear or hesitation, U get found out quickly .
@@theprinceoftides6836 True , have to observe pressure and play hard and aggressive brand of cricket . But to be honest post the Michael Clarke era the Aussie teams have been very average . That's when India won back to back series there .
You need to be prepared be hit once in a while. Aussies are no longer hyper aggressive like Steve Waugh Ponting era . Even Warner nowadays plays a good waiting game .Marnus and Smith are far from dominating. So you need to take them out before they get comfortable. To be fair, Eng don't have the fire power to your knock out Aussies but they can try atleast.
@@crazyshit1985 Absolutely true , English attacks always have a history of struggling when the ball doesn't swing .
Agree to beat them u need to deflate their batting line up. Bowling falls apart on its own. U dont need huge totals to beat them
Really good show, and really good analysis but! The bone of contention is Tubby's comments about Travis Head. First, he's surprised that he's in the ICC top 10, then he suggests he needs to improve his fielding. Huh!!! First, his top 10 ranking says more about Australia's stupid decision to drop him than anything else. And yes I'm daring to go there, if Head was an Eastern based player he'd never have been dropped. Second, on what basis and what criteria is he, (Tubby), criticising Head's fielding. I have not heard anyone else remotely question his fielding. It seemed like let's fine something to criticise, for criticisings sake.
Epic contribution Ian. The weather ??
There is so much talk about England needing to completely revamp their test side!! Now, that’s damn interesting… because Aus made almost zero change to their test side that lost to an India C team at the Gabbattoir!! Still see Warner, Smith, Labu and the same exact set of bowlers!! Lyon and Starc were horrendous in that India series… they’re both still there, aren’t they? Paine omg, what an ordinary captain!! Dropped Vihari/Ash multiple times in Sydney, batted poorly throughout, couldn’t find a way past Washy and Thakur of all people… the bloke would still be captain had he not sexted!! So look inwards Australia… you made no changes to your team that lost after getting India all out for 36… think about what changes were made to your team following that humiliation. THEN and only then talk about what other teams should be doing!! PLEEEEAASE guys!!
i mean, i dont blame them for not changing much. its currently working out incredibly well. paine and most the tea had a shocker on the last day too. no amount of selection genius will withstand a brain fade from your wicketkeeper-captain.
the problem with england isnt that they dont change anything anyway-almost the opposite. they make the wrong initial decisions, then they make the wrong replacements (-at least, thats the problem they point out). for eg leach should not have played at the gabba, as he doesnt put as much topspin on the ball and gets less bounce, but adelaide would have been an ideal place to introduce him. the opposite applies for broad and anderson. instead england did the inverse of this.
also its important to remember that taylor and chappell are not sitting here representing the australian selection committee. they sit here as (somewhat biased) journalists (in a way).
Last summer was done in strict bio bubbles and newish experience for most. The werent going to make or need wholesale changes. Part of Starc's form was he didnt want to be playing whilst his father was ill and dying but his fsther insisted. They also didnt rotate quicks last summer and paid price. Green has improved to help with ball more this summer too.
Can hear this all the day
Ian Chappell, My All Time Fox Eyes Analyst Rather Than Commentator.
Massive Respect To This Great Man.
What’s the background music when they play Shane Warne hat trick?
Ian & Mark , superb superb superb 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
the realisation that england as a cricketing nation, despite all the money resources and other swathes of investment, is essentially on par with the bangladesh's and zimbabwe's of this world, is a bitter bitter pill to swallow, but is the blunt truth. to compound matters the ECB have drained what life there was left from the English red ball game, switched off life support for it and moved over to the white ball arena in pursuit of profits and bonuses.
The ashes aren’t the same anymore once the key players on both teams retired. (Johnson, Harris, cook, Pietersen, Clarke, etc). The ashes were actually interesting to watch in 2013/14 because anything could’ve happened
England got clean sweeped australia were just a better side back in the day
Nice to see Ian Chappell back in action in commentary box.
Gotta love the poms getting ripped😂😂🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well in all fairness.....they have not have warmups against state teams because of covid....just like if we went there and played the ashes without county team matches...we would be smashed too
True. Modern tours don't tend to have many warm-up matches these days though - even before Covid. Perhaps that's something the ECB should look at next time.
Could have sent their non-T20 World Cup players out a few weeks earlier to acclimatise and get some game time, but didn't.
Spot on insight. Why have England got things so wrong so far, even just in terms of being competitive in each test? Has to come down to Leadership from Captain and Coach, and very poor planning in player selection eg Leach in Test 1 and not 2, Broad left out of Test 1, and the point made by another commentator about 'this bowling attack has never played together before'.
Although the England lineup for the Boxing Day Test averages a couple runs more than the team that lost at Adelaide, dropping Woakes and Broad means the tail is averaging 5.5 runs less. Not convinced that Crawley and Bairstow will add enough runs to the total to make the tail dispensable, on recent form.
How was I previously unaware of this? It’s excellent. Thank you 🙏🏾
Why don't they bring there one day openers in test team as well Rashid as there spinner
Is Rashid fit enough to bowl that much,
The only major difference between the two teams is catching.. England spurned 17 chances in just three innings.. this End team is overflowing with talent..
Chaps and Tubs are not only a pair of proper, fair dinkum Aussies, they were hard competitors and successful skippers. I can't disagree with a word from either of them, but Taylor nailed it when he says us Poms aren't mentally in the game properly. Technique is no good if the grey bit between the ears is lacking.
Ian Chappell knows David Boon well..That Devenport match warranted a ban for Chappelli connected to Boonie...27:00
Channel 9 was the best broadcaster for cricket.
I would argue the best cricket programme I have watched is Pavilion hosted by a vibrant person, with Wasim Akram, Waquar Younis Misbah, Whab Riaz…..great crickets, Ex captains, world class bowlers and batsman in Misbah, all aspects covered…..whahab is a current cricketer with retired cricketers. It had great analysis as well.
Great to listen to these gentlemen after so long for some one like me who used to watch channel 9 coverage of Australian season in India.great loss for viewers...
Well summed up again by Chappelli and Tubs!!
I think pointing out the Poms bad performance is not highlighting the Aussie great performance.
Yeah Golden words by both 💙💙
On this tour, would not have considered Bess or Leach for the squad may be leach as back up.
It won’t be a welcome idea right at the moment when England are suffering in Australia, but “preparing” a team, selecting, and adopting a strategy over four years simply to suit Australian conditions won’t float. The Ashes is now one (and not the most lucrative) of many goals in international cricket. Teams want to be dominant at home and then do well in differing conditions overseas. Australia included. It’s hard to win overseas for even the best teams, as it should be, but playing in Australia is especially weighted in favour of the home team. Winning there is probably more an indication of the actual strength/weakness of the Australian team than the result of prolonged preparation by visitors for Australian conditions. Ask the Wallabies about winning against the All Blacks in New Zealand and you would perhaps get the perspective.
India have won their last two series in Australia, including the last series when they were under strength. The idea that Australia are near unbeatable at home is an exaggeration. This isn't Australia of the 90's. You don't need to prepare an entire team around Australian conditions to win there. You need to have some genuine quicks, a quality spinner, and blokes who can bat. England don't have any of those. It's looking like the third Australian based Ashes series where England won't win a game. The Ashes are where legacies are made and destroyed. Joe Root's Ashes record is going to be a blemish on his captaincy record if he doesn't do better in the future. He'd better make sure the English selectors get him some real help in the future.
That's baloney sir !
India has won in Australia and England on recent tours. Australia retained the Ashes in England 2 years ago.
The fact is England can't even win a test in Australia. Lost 5-0 and 4-0 on their last 2 tours. And are currently 2-0 down in this series. That's 11 straight loses in Australia.
That's pathetic no matter how you look at it.
Copout
100% agree with Chappell here, Root is not captaincy material but who else will England go with. There are not many options apart from Stokes who had his own issues with physical and mental fitness. England, when they had white ball issues they said focus on red ball was the problem and it’s vice versa now. It’s pretty simple - standard of play and quality of pitches in county cricket is not great to produce consistently good players at international level.
Watching only for Ian chappell's analysis...
😂😂😂 Chappell goes INN!
Wow this men is just to another level ...Ian just too good once again .
There has been no talk about Root's captaincy in the English press.
Some year he's having with the bat though, considering the state of the English batting and the teams England have played this year.
Root is the most feeble and spineless captain we have ever had in any sport.
He looks like a wimp. He is built like a wimp. He has no backbone. Can’t control his bowlers. Terrible terrible captain.
90s and 00s indian team is current English team. We Indians had more focus of shorter format back then and it showed in the results. We were able to win odis but not test overseas and England use to win test and lost most of odis.
Now we gave more focus to test and our odi and t20 isn't performing as well as test team. England's odi and t20 team is great and mediocre test team.
And there's New Zealand playing great in all formats 😬
England should try and borrow jeff thomson he would be quicker at his age than the england so called pace attack
Bring back Boycott, Edrich, Cowdrey, Barrington and Graveney. Top class batsman who could play against the best ?
Super guys you are right!
