there are two reasons england lost:?

Question

there are two reasons england lost:

1) england came out on the last day, knowing all they had to do was not lose wickets, they didnt need to score runs and not make incredible innings. therefore, the batters came out and played very defensively (espec. against shane warne) and because they failed to play shots they lost wickets and a few decisions went against them. if england went out and played like they did (offensively and aggressively) in the first innings when they were actually trying to score runs and not just preserve wickets. in summary, england should have come out and played like they did in the first innings but instead changed their game plan ultimately for the worse.

2) shane warne

Answer 1

no i think it was the first reason and that reason alone, shane warne and all the australian bowlers for that fact just exploited the situation.

Answer 2

Both wrong reasons. The real reasons were 1. England's slow batting in the first innings and 2. The declaration that came in early.

It's unfortunate that the English have scarce regard for history. Just a few of years ago, in 2003 India beat Australia at Adelaide. The test match was remarkably similar to this test match. Australia scored 556 in the first innings - Ponting a double hundred and still lost with a session and a half of play to spare.

England should have realised that 550 wasn't a good total to declare at Adelaide.

Answer 3

Did you actually have a question there Mark? or just wanting to feel important by sharing your view of the world?

Shane Warne got 4 wickets of 10, he was hardly a major major reason.

They just sucked, plain and simple, they played negatively, they played badly, and while Australia played well as a team, it was not enough to get 8-9 wickets in half a day. You have to play really badly to achieve this. I just watched Sri Lanka do it today live at Jade.

England's batting was just bad.

Answer 4

Oh i was going to say that the first reason was because they don't have Michael Vaughn and the second was that they were just way underdone .. but then i rethought it and came up with this explaination ... 1) the English team is really just made up of bus drivers who needed somewhere to park their buses for the day 2) there werent enough scones and cucumber sandwiches to go around at tea time .. I could be wrong .. but suspect im not ha ha

Answer 5

While I quite agree with your views entirely, there was one more reason which attributed to their defeat, which is their Bowlers terribly failed to contain Australian Batsmen. It was a very poor bowling at the end of day 5 of a Test Match to concede more than 5 runs an over, which no team achieved in the first 4 days of the match.

Answer 6

nicely you being English might know besides as every physique if t20 cricket replaced into dropping its charm in England, yet over right here in South Africa it continues to be becoming its extensive right here and individuals certainly like it that's why the IPL had such super help each interest even week days, everywhere you went human beings have been conversing approximately it, accumulating around enormous monitors in public places to observe extremely the action whether or no longer they be in a mall procuring or a on line casino. you will possibly think of with the quantity of 20 20 suits with the help of now it would be in overkill, yet I actual do no longer think of so human beings like having the flexibility to spend a quick time observing a tournament getting a fascinating interest in loads of 20 20 video games severe scoring or no longer have been staggering video games coming down the final ball protecting visitors glued and whilst it transfers to worldwide point next month the place the intensity would be even larger i'm particular loads of human beings are waiting for it to start like me. i think of in 5 years the IPL would be oftentimes going on with the help of then it relatively is going to be somewhat distinctive participant's have adapted to the shortest version of the interest with the help of then they might have stepped forward their play even extra effective making impossible circumstances now look very in all probability then and since the objective marketplace embraces the adjustments that's going to hold reliable in its appreciation of the interest's t20 format.

Answer 7

you missed the most important one, the three lions got the wrong costume and wore the 3 ******* for the day. and played like a wounded cat, it was as if we where watching nasser hussain, mike atherton, mike gatting, allan lamb, robert keys, jack russell role over and pretend to play, i think phil tufnel and devon malcom could have scored more runs than that,
