Just happy we got 4 wickets early because the pitch has gone flat ball doing nowt! Four down been a great first session.

I’ve edited my post, suicidal shot selection.

I didn’t see that wicket but I think he’s an odd batter. His leaves are either immaculate judgement or he just lives on the edge, I can’t decide.

Silly question. Why on earth is Jimmy not playing?

Yeah I was thinking that, same thoughts ref YJB.

Pleased Hameed and Buttler got the chop though.

Basically jumped out of the way of a straight ball trying to clip it down leg.

Yep - should of kept him for his batting abilities...

 

[waspish]

Root for a top batsman he is clueless how to read a batsman methods and how he is defending batting he is useless captain

Just seen that Labuschagne dismissal and it’s already made my day. Can’t stand him.

 

[waspish]

Pitch flat a bowler down these two batting well we going to be looking at over 300.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

This is a road

 

[waspish]

I’ve seen green bat a few times and the third man area is where he likes and the good length drive because of his height and stride to the ball! Wood should be bowling short just outside the the Of stump have a gully and a third man four slips.

Strain according to the Beeb.

Wish we had any captain material in the England squad they seem to be all clueless yes it’s flat pitch

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Woakes looks rather toothless outside of England.

 

[MillionMilesAway]

Presumably it was very difficult to bat for an hour and then calmed down?
I guess the next thing is how the lights affect play (presumably they're on already?)

Yeah and England know that but still pick him instead of bringing someone younger

Lights are on but the natural light wont finish until 9:30pm (10:30am your time) . No sign of rain at the moment.

Always ignore the first 4 tests down under.

We tend to win the 5th one.

Best of 9, anyone.
