    Only thing is, Boycott gets right on my tits.

    Then you don't appreciate cricket. He may be an arse sometimes, even a lot of the time, but no one living knows more about cricket than him.
    Knowing 'more about cricket' doesnt make him a good broadcaster, and tbh, how Harvey Thistlethwaite used to bat/bowl in 1930's has little bearing on todays game and zero interest with most of the cricket watching public.
    Well something must make him a good broadcaster, that is why as soon as he finished playing he was snapped up by the BBC, Sky, C4, C9 and now BT Sport, not to mention the TV companies of India and S Africa amongst others.
    He's used by the likes of S Africa and India because he's the odd Englishman who is controversial and they can take the piss out of - they certainly did in SA when i lived there.

    Why arent Jimmy and Broady bowling after tealunch?
  • The_PresidentThe_President
    First session ive been able to watch on stream, and a few observations...
    Swann is shit - get him off.
    The second stint of commentators is Ponting and Gilchrist - no English, talking Oz bollocks - wouldnt happen with Sky.
    Why arent Jimmy and Broady bowling after lunch , especially with them 7 down.
    Ali giving Cummins an easy one with a deep mid-on - makes no sense.

    Line up in Oz is decent. Got Warne, KP, Slater, Taylor with Mark Nicholas.

    Not the same without David Lloyd though
  • The_PresidentThe_President
    ALi and Woakes innocuous.
  • The_PresidentThe_President
    Smith 100
  • The_PresidentThe_President
    Any rain around.?
    Cant watch this - we just look so innocuous.Cummins made to look like Viv Richards.
  • The_PresidentThe_President
    And now back to Woakes - who was it who said he was our quickest bowler?!
    i'm going back to bed.

    Painful to watch right now. Aussies gonna get a lead. Should've never happened after we got those wickets with the new ball.

    Cummins gone to Woakes for 42.

  • PaddyP17PaddyP17
    To be fair, well batted Cummins. That sort of partnership is invaluable a lot of the time

    Aus to get a marginal lead us to be one down by the end of play.

    Game atill hangs in the balance.

    Fair play to Smith the only batsman who has managed to go on. I still think he is a flat track bully. ;)

    Trying to motivate mysf for the final session. Come on England.

    "mysf" how much you drunk this evening lol

    Hell of a lot of work for Broad and Anderson already early on in this series.

    My worry prior to this series was not our batting as much as our bowling. If these two can't keep it up, and it'll be difficult considering their age and toll this could take on their bodies, then we are bang in trouble!
  • Exiled_AddickExiled_Addick
    Feels like a wasted opportunity for England this, but the game is still very much in the balance. The big worry for me is that we don't look like we have a clue how to get Smith out.

    How the hell are we going to get Smith out this series? The guy looks like a machine.

    Are you surprised? Happens far too often. Not sure if it was excellent batting or poor bowling. The latter I think.

    The Cummins innings took its mental toll. It was a combination, and the former exacerbated the latter.

    He looked like a top six bat

    And as I type this Cook is out. Fuck.
