England will lose by an innings and runs at Lords after winning the toss and choosing to bowl first ? Mark my words and please feel free to come back and give me shit if am wrong,

What I watched today was properly the worst bowling attack by an England team at Lords on the first morning of an Ashes test, Win the toss and bowl was on everybody's lips, the wicket had a bit of green grass rolled into the wicket and conditions were Perfect for swing and seam bowlers,

But we looked Old and slow unfit and lack of test-match cricket in the legs and body, how can we come back from this I don't know, but when the Aussies come out to bowl they will have over 400 on the board and will bowl as we all know they bowl at lords (top off-stump) then spin cleaning up the tail of the England batting,

When we come to bat I’ll be shocked if we get anywhere near 350 am doing a rain dance

Pietersen not saying much different from Vaughan.

I will listen to Vaughan top captain.
However u are only as good as your bowlers.We have 4 seamers who bowl the same.Wood is a big miss as is Stone,we have no top class spinner.Starc,Cummins and Hazlewood would have had us 60 odd for 4 at lunch in those conditions

This is going to 5 nil if it does not rain.

I said 4-0, or 4-1 (weather permitting).
It looks cloudy for the next few days so we gonna get blown away, by this Aussie attack, I would suspect.

Very sloppy day of cricket from England today. Lucky to have 5 down in the end with the 2 Aussies tossing their wickets away at the end. Can see Smith getting a big score and the Aussies over 400 which will set them up well.

Sorry Glenn McGrath but you're wrong. Absolutely no chance it's going to be 5-0 at home.

But run machine Crawley said we’ll win by 150 runs…..

Is there 1 English player that would get in the Aussie's side?

Good job that shackledragger no longer plays.

Root, Stokes and Bairstow. Possibly one of the openers to replace a largely out of sorts Warner these days. Maybe even Brook for someone as well.

Broad for Boland or Starc as well possibly.
