I like Moeen but can't for the life of me understand why he's in the side for this test and why we dropped Tongue when he was our best bowler at Lord's.

There's no one else?

Maybe this is a better reflection of the batting conditions and our bowlers have been on fire, while our fielders should be set on fire!

Does anyone else find Atherton a bit irritating?

Yes but not as much as butcher and Mel Jones

It doesn't spin much at Headingley.
I would have kept Tongue in and not bothered with Robinson.

Need a blast from mark wood before tea. Woakes needs to be bowling too

I’d personally would have liked to see Liam Dawson given a go. He deserved it as has played well for Hampshire in red ball cricket. Doesn’t surprise me he didn’t however as the england cricket team is very cliquey and it’s always the same names getting the opportunities

He's reaching 100 this over of Ali.

 

[WickyWain]

You were saying?

TBF your post was ridiculous...



















Easily 250-4 by tea

 

[DMA's]

So frustrating this partnership mainly because both should be out

There you go.

The depth Australia have is very impressive. They are the best test side by an absolute mile

This is staggeringly terrible even by englands standards this summer

Nope that’s not completely true, the bowlers have done well today. It’s the catching that’s been shit

the bowlers are a major problem just as much as the fielding is, the first 2 test was a joke and injury to Stokes and Moeen and bowling at around 80mph is a problem

 

[Betterdeedthan red]

Brilliant start.
Terrible since lunch.
2 dropped catches have cost us big time.
Need a wicket and fast

Sums the summer up, brilliant session, shit session.

 

[DMA's]

On a brighter note with the weather around next few days we are likely to draw this game. Every cloud

I was talking about this test. The bowlers did their job on a good batting wicket and they should have been 6 down for less than a 100 if our fielders could catch. Marsh should have been out for 12, Head for 9

Considering what this England attack managed in the first session, we need 6 wickets for about minus 30 runs

Yep

struggling to bowl and having to use cotton gloves with Wood and Stokes can not bowl because of injury and now Robinson is off with an injury, it's properly fucked, what options have England got left a 40-year-old Jimmy Anderson
