That's hardly plucking an 80/1 winning horse out your arse is it.............? ;-)

Do you have a Nap for me?

Do you have a Nap for me?

Think of me as the anti-NAP - work against all of my Cheltenham bets for the festival and you'll be quids in...........

Warner gone but we need a lot more wickets tonight.

5 more tests and he'll get to 100.

94, 95...

Don't think it'll be that much different from the last time.

[MillionMilesAway]

11 overs in 50 minutes.
Take the new ball or keep the match fee!

It's a running problem that England are slow at bowling their overs and have been for a long time.
(I have no information on other countries' over rates).

England look jaded, flat

[Alan Harper's Tash]

5 more tests and he'll get to 100.

94, 95...

Whereas Burns needs about 20 more tests to get a cumulative 100.

let's be fair, while Australia have stuck to the task admirably, and England have gone through periods of samey flat bowling, England have been pretty bloody unlucky too. They've beaten the edge umpteen times with no joy, and Labuschagne has played and missed 20 (!) times. Very little reward for a decent day with the ball. Might change.
