Lunch: 77-7.

Depends if Hameed sticks around.

It could be 23-7

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

Those 2 teams, it's like watching Rags v Arsenal now versus Rags v Arsenal 04/05. Pale imitation, that England side looks dismal.

Predicted score at lunch?

50-4

Well our opening batters score rate is piss poor heart 64/1 head your prediction about right.

Lunch: 77-7.

77 that’s bit over the top no way we get more than 60 by lunch.

It’s the hope that kills you.

It feels like the start of the season in 1996ish as a City fan!

Stokes with a counter-attacking 45.

 

[Don Karleone]

Some kind of fight would be nice. Anything but an embarrassment.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Lol

 

[WestGorton]

Oh dear

 

[unicorn]

Glad I stayed up.

 

[Iamthemusicman]

Oh good. This is going to be fun.

 

[Don Karleone]

Jesus Christ

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Can I change my prediction to 23 all out and Australia 30-0 at lunch?

 

[willipp]

Ffs, that’s the tone of the whole ashes set right there

 

[crooky]

I'll take a draw.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

I can’t have been the only one expecting that.
