    Hate to say it but I think we should bowl first if we win the toss. Conditions might be at their optimum for bowling and the openers on both sides are going to be as nervous as kittens. One good ball is all it takes after all and that applies whether you are Harris, Hameed, root or Smith. 
    As I was saying!

    I think I preferred the Harmison wide to 2nd slip

    England 0-1. Burns bowled first ball by Starc.

    As he ran in to bowl I said "and out first ball"

    Just like Harmison when we lost 5-0. All the hype and then go to shit very first ball.

    Sums up England playing in Australia. 
    Sort of ball that should have gone for four.

    Burns should never be opening

    I'd already said Crawley for Burns by the 3rd test. I don't like it but he suits these pitches better.

    Worst thing is it'll give starch confidence when hr is the one we should be targeting

    Now, as people know, I am not Malan's biggest fan as a T20 batsman. But I do think that he could actually do well in the Ashes simply because he has a solid technique

    Shane warne looking like a twat (again) for being so anti-Starc 

    Every cloud.

    Every time you see a replay of that dismissal it gets worse.

    Warne's right though. Starc getting that wicket makes him harder to drop, which is good for England ;)

    Don’t think much could knock my mood after today’s game but that first ball gave it a jolly good go! If you don’t laugh you’ll cry!

    It does but that is the pressure of the situation. He did two things I bet he has not done in the nets all tour - going too far across his stumps and missing the ball. It's also not the ball Burns was expecting or focused on for all those hours.

    Is that a BT graphic or an Australian one.

    "England winS toss and batS"

    Wtf ?  Plural ? England are a team or country.

    6 off 7 balls - he doesn't score that fast from the off in T20s!

    If Burns didn't expect Starc to go full and straight first up, he's never watched Starc bowl ever

    It doesn't matter what you are expecting, you protect your stumps.
