Lol I was just thinking of him

To be fair I like his/her dystopian views as a counter balance but the last post was full on Meldrew

It's odd. He used to be a fairly positive poster about English cricket. Except for Root's captaincy, obviously!

Brilliant few hours for England should go on and make it 1-2 now

Please don't fuck this up. Treble and the Ashes would be a great year

I mean we all know they’ll be 45-8 at lunch tomorrow.

No chance haha

Seeing Crawley intelligently leave three balls in a row has me questioning everything.

He always looks like the best batsman on earth until he finds a way to get out.

It’s all about how England react if we lose a couple of quick wickets, I hope it doesn’t happen but those batsmen coming in have to stay calm.

They can’t fcuk it up again am thinking Root will have his head screwed on now and want to take us to a win

That's a huuuuuuuuugggeee ask , right now I'm happy with stopping the whitewash and I'll take it from there lol

Just watching highlights, do they not bowl at the wickets anymore ?

It really annoys me. I understand that they're playing to get edges. But surely, the old adage of "you miss, I hit" still holds true.

Absolutely. This is do-able. Two days of batting, even taking into account the weather interruptions, that's all. FFS England, just play TEST cricket and forget Bazball for the moment. Let's get back into the Ashes at 1-2 and take it from there.

Wood kept trying that versus Head and got tonked.

You don’t seriously believe that we won’t lose a couple of wickets in the first 5 overs swinging away wildly?!!
