4 test to nil unfortunately to the Aussie's

I bet your fun at parties ;)

Did you type that before Crawley got out Gabe ? Defo Aussies session - just.

No, just after. When any side loses a wicket at the death it always feels acutely painful; had Crawley gone when he feathered the pain might have been more obtuse and the total could have felt more like England's session. I reckon the Australians will be happy to have 3 back in the hutch, but I think they probably wouldn't have wanted to concede 124 in that session. How the next session unfolds should be fascinating.

Possibly the most English morning ever - 2 hours spent saying the Aussies have no idea what they’re doing and then get to lunch bang in trouble.

Need a couple of hundred for the best wicket or we will be in huge danger of being 0-1 down before the end of the weekend.

We get 400 it be that quick Aussie can bat for two days go past ours and put the pressure on!

Think we need 500+ then see how we bowl at the moment the Aussies will feel they will get us all out for under 300

What has happened to Sky Cricket, so disappointing to see the lunchtime pundits, Kumar Sangakara and some Aussie woman for the first time ever I have contemplated switching to watch the Australian coverage it cant be any worse.

Already? Fucking hell

Weak mentality getting out a couple of balls before lunch. Hate to say it but Crawley looks unlikely to ever be much more than decent

That’s arguably a significant improvement on much that has gone before.

Brook dropped by Head. It was a terrible shot to a terrible delivery.

 

[Gabriel]

A difficult chance but you need to be taking those. Do feel that another bus will be coming along soon, though.

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Honours even. Has the makings of a good test.

As per my earlier post. I think 150.3 is on par for a good score. On this pitch though its got to be a good score.

 

[waspish]

On this pitch I’d be very disappointed if England don’t get at least 400+

 

[Cricket Blue]

Let's get 500 up by lunch tomorrow and unleash Jimmy & Broad & Robbo.

 

[Don Karleone]

How the fuck?

That’s kind of the point. Maybe I should have said decent AT BEST

 

[Dr Jacoby]

How unlucky was that?!

 

[Iassel]

Yeah this one is ending 0-1.

 

[domalino]

We really don't need Stokes to repeat what he did last year and just slog mindlessly for 20 runs and then get out.

 

[supercity88]

Very unlucky but England are bang in trouble now.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Does this make Jonny Bairstow officially the best number 7 in test cricket?
