Wonder if they play Bashir later

More chance of him playing for Australia…

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Just been reading why the Aussies insist on having the score back to front; 6/315 as opposed to 315/6. Apparently, it goes back to the 19th century and a new scoreboard brought in at the SCG. Strange that, I think, they're the only major cricketing nation to have the score that way. An honourable keeping alive of a tradition, or typical Aussie stubbornness?

Only a problem when playing England and it’s 3/6!

Three seamers? Tongue, Carse and Stokes. Very risky or do you suspect we'll drop Jacks?

Yeah Bashir won’t be picked but I’d like to see him..

Crawley
Bethel
Jacks
Root
Brook
Stokes
Smith
Tongue
Carse
Potts
Bashir

Talk is win the toss and bat, but that you’ll need to bat well for the first innings.

We’ll probably be 60/5 after the first hour.

Toss won! 4 years training Bashir up for the ashes and he doesn’t play one minute.

Can't help but think that they will throw him in the bin next summer, and move on to Ahmed.

So that’s the end of Bashir till we play away in India

 

[Stelea]

Will the series be all over by the time I return to work on Monday morning?

 

[waspish]

Why bat first when we chase far better to win a game plus we haven’t got a spinner!

Stark been cheating all series with him rubbing his hand in the grass then smothering the cricket ball with greasy grass

Is that cheating? How’s it different to sweat?

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

We’ve survived the first over!

 

[Corky]

It isn't cheating if it naturally occuring. England using sweets was cheating, but less obvious than sandpaper.

Greasy grass? WTF is that? Sounds terrible…

 

[BringBackSwales]

Fuck off Duckett, same shit, wafting outside the off stump. Leave it you daft ****

 

[chris63]

Duckett again playing at a ball he should have left.

 

[dickie davies]

Here we go
Collapse incoming

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

A nice one day innings from Fucket.

 

[BringBackSwales]

So that’s the end of Bashir till we play away in India

Can he open the batting?

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

We’d have all taken 35 for the first wicket beforehand.
