According to Zaltzman, 15 of our wickets out of the last 25 have been aggressive pull shots. If we only had a brain...

But British Profi cricketers,don’t have a Brain..

Same as the Goverment institutions…One becomes either a civil servant or cricketer. Both are short straw draws…

[UniFox21]

Listening to Morgan commentate is actually painful 

[yorkie1999]

England need to do something, Australia will be looking to grind them away and end up with a 500 lead, ashes gone and who cares about the last 2 games.

[trabuch]

Mo's last test match for England this.

depends what they lose to rain tomorrow.  in any case, unless conditions are very bowler friendly in the morning you expect the Aussies to bat until tea tomorrow.  we aren’t being bowled out in one session!

Yes - this is where the game can drift away before you’ve realised.  Stokes brings wood back. Broad has probably had his last spell of today. 

[EastAnglianFox]

Yeah go on bat us out of the game you boring fvcks.... 

 

When does the one day stuff start? We're good at that right?

[st albans fox]

15th of the series ……

[Voll Blau]

Another one down from Bairstow. Beyond a joke.

[StanSP]

Bairstow

 

[Corky]

Got away with that one.

[leicsmac]

Seven hells, and I thought some of the takes on here were reactionary.

 

Edit: I'd posit proper "cricket fans" would know that it exists for more than a month and a half-ish every year and a half/two years and a half. Wimbledon two-week tennis fans all over again.

Wonder were we would be with Foakes playing the wholes series.

[leicsmac]

The Aussies are human, and fallible - Smith and Marnus just showed that explicitly.

[trabuch]

Well done Mo. Or rather - well done Smith

Drooling all over our screens at his handsome face is the answer.

[Super_horns]

2 big wickets by Ali.

 

Caused Smith to play a bad shot .

[Lako42]

Pure dirt from Smith. 

 

Love it 

[st albans fox]

Are we missing two bowlers ? (Stokes and Robinson) 

with wood unable to bowl long spells it’s not great

 

 I expect we’ll see moeen and waoakes seeing out the rest of the day 

[sm1]

Marnus has been playing brain dead cricket all series,  but Smith has joined in aswell.

[ARTY_FOX]

Bloody hell bairstow caught one
