Think we might see a pre declaration assault from the Aussies shortly0

Smith always looks to me like that kid that turns up to nets with a bat that's three sizes too big for him!1

"It was deeply saddening for all."Today, Australia and the match officials will wear black armbands today to honour those lost."
My word - that's awful.

It's amateur hour from Burns - misfields and then a few balls later hands the Aussies four overthrows0

Well bowled Jimmy. Only one thing better than Warner getting out in the 90s and that is Smith doing so!1

Do England want to bowl out Australia too quickly now? The quicker that happens, the longer we have to bat under the lights against fresh and fired up bowlerskillerandflash said:It might be good if we can keep it REALLY tight tomorrow, so that Australia need to bat on into the evening0 -
Anderson on fire and fighting the fatigue
390-7 at tea0 -
Think the Aussies will have a 40 minute thrash and either get to 440 plus or be all out in that timekillerandflash said:

They might not feel that is enough runs though. The slow scoring rate from the top order batsmen means they're a bit short of where you'd expect them to beAddick Addict said:

Jimmy dropped one
I actually think I couldn’t do a worse job fielding than half this mob and I’m 51 dodgy eyes knees and arm
but I can fucking catch

Will our openers look more or less comfortable than Starc and Neser, do we think?...

And if to prove the point Pope tries to scoop the ball back with the wrong hand and lets it go for four in the process of doing so!oohaahmortimer said:Jimmy dropped one

I was having an argument this morning with my 8 year old about the state of Burns’ hair. I said his teammates should have held him down and cut it off by now. I’m keeping that image above as ‘exhibit a’ to prove to her later how bad things can be if left to get out of hand2

When your batting set is about as stern as a paper house in a force 12 gale and your only real strength is in your bowling line up, and they are being made to look silly, I think it's not too presumptuous to expect a complete blood bath!0

Oh well, at least we never have to watch them at the crease for too longkillerandflash said:

Woakes is in danger of proving what some people think of his bowling. So has figures of 2-148 in the series and neither of those wickets were a top six bat. Stokes' figures aren't much better but at least he looks threatening and got Warner out (twice if you count the no ball), is the 4th/5th seamer anyway and there to bat in the middle order.
So that means that we will have to bite the bullet and play a non batsman at 8. Which will be fine if the top 7 perform but that is a big "if". There again, we probably shouldn't be relying on the bottom four for runs anyway.0 -
I’m no weather expert, but doesn’t rain normally come with lightening? Three days worth please and the five nil is off.1

England could do with a thunderstorm as soon as they start to bat2

Still can't believe Mahmood didn't get into the squad0

Answers on a postcard as to what that review was about - none left now!!!0
