The Bishop and The Bear Ep 103
Welcome back to The Bishop and Bear and STAND BY FOR A SHOCK!
Our guest for this Ashes special is lovable, if loquacious, Liverpudlian Gary
Nayor. BUT, and here’s the shock, the lad struggles to actually get a word in
as the Bear’s boosterish optimism ploughs forth like a runaway train!
You don’t need me to tell you the situation. England are a familiar two down in an away Ashes. A media frenzy is declaring the death of Bazball. England’s captain is questioning whether there might be some ‘weak men’ in the England dressing room, while coach BMac thinks they have probably practiced too much. And let’s not forget that Australia, albeit a key man or two down, are downright formidable on their own turf.
Is there any hope? Yes always. Until there isn’t. A bit like ‘everybody having a
plan until they get punched in the face’ to quote Tyson (Mike, not Frank).
Your episcopal barman struggles manfully (Ben Stokes would approve), to keep order as the Bear and Gary go full steam into these discussion points.
Too much prep? Or the wrong kind of prep?
Do we blame BMAC or is the problem deeper rooted in the structure of the English game?
·
Can England adapt approach on the fly to be more competitive in Adelaide?
Should they?
·
Ben Stokes thinks it’s a mentality at key moments. Is he missing the point or just saying what he can?
·
Changes for Adelaide on either side. Is Bethell a number 3? Does one gritty knock make a summer and give Jacks a go?
·
What other alternatives are there?
·
Is Noosa a holiday destination or a rope England are putting around their own neck?
Wewill, of course, be with you for every ball of the Adelaide Test. Don’t miss it with us from 11.20 pm on 16th Dec (UK time) or 10am on the 17th
Dec if you are in Adelaide, at guerillacricket.com or just come to our Guerilla YouTube channel.
