No idea how you lot stay up all night for it. Managed to see the first two overs and fell asleep and woke up as England took the second new ball.

I went to bed at 10 woke up around 6 catch the last bit then they show highlights. Last time we played the ashes away stayed up for the first session now not bothering

So Stokes was talking bollocks again. They are a bunch of clowns just like the politicians who lie from birth.
It's just not good enough, everybody knew the 3rd test the wicket and the heat will kill you. Not picking a spinner was again crazy, you can bet if we have to bowl again, everyone will be fucked and the Aussie will smash us all over the park.

Stokes and the Coach Bazball ? have to be sacked and england need to start again. Just Come Home

I said I would give it an hour, but it lasted 20 minutes. It was doom and gloom from losing the toss

See Jofra can't bring himself to join in the NA, British citizen you know.

I don’t sing it either, it’s a terrible dirge. I’m no Republican but the king can look after himself, and don’t get me started on “god”.

Land of Hope and Glory would having me singing mind.

will we be cautious in our batting? Because that’s a different mindset and we could have a low run rate and still get bowled out under 60 overs!

I’m expecting Harry brook to flop because it’s the first time in his young test history he has been asked to play sensible! That drop tells me he is not on it!

3 down incoming! Lost faith in this team management! Just because the 3 year planning has been pissed up the wall after two test matches

That’s the spirit.

Eh? We’re ahead in the match so far.

Do us a favour and just stop watching the fucking thing if it makes you this bloody miserable.

I don't think we're ahead. It's about even, but with some decent bowling England would be 70 runs better off and actually be on top.

We'll need to put up 450+ in reply.

Yeah that’s one of my big bug bears especially with stokes who backed Bashir for the last 2 years all talk he is for the ashes with his height and the bounce he be our spinner! First signs that our real Batsman are a pile of shite and brainless they go back to a batter who spins a bit! Saying that 2 wickets on the first days play by him is good just a pity he went for over 5 and over! Now would have Bashir gone for more or got more wickets? We will never know..

 

[waspish]

That’s the spirit.

Haha… yeah I’ve watched to many ashes in Australia now to have any positives. Let’s see if we clean up the last two wickets and when I wake up tomorrow morning we near there score or just past it with only 3/4 down..

Agree we need to be at least 100 ahead after our innings, just because the history of that ground this year is teams score more second innings, so a big lead is needed to bowled at..

Now if this is true it’s quite remarkable!?


BBG Sports, the company that owns Snicko, admits that the Carey reprieve was down to operator error.


"The Snicko operator at the time must have selected the incorrect stump mic for audio processing. In light of this, BBG Sports takes full responsibility for the error."

How are we ahead ? The Aussies are 326-8
I love test cricket and the Ashes are special, so why should I turn off, We all want england to win, but not lie about our chances by a fake captain or coaches

England will not make 200 when we bat ? You can we are beaten and done

Fake captain?
Surely you understand when it comes to the media he has to follow a party line.

He’s not sticking his hand up and saying, can I tell everyone how I really feel please.

Part of his job he has to do these interviews and when he does he’s representing the ECB.

Because I watched it, every ball, and listened to the commentary and what they were saying about the pitch and the par average first innings score.

Also totally disagree with what you [are presumably trying to] say in your final paragraph.

We’re also both watching the same match but I can assure you I’m having a far better time than you are.

Seems first spell of the day by archer is all we get for 90+ mph because comes back now and it’s 83mph being short changed by some of our players! Wank!

Wrapped up in cotton wool. Some of our bowlers aren't fit enough because they don't bowl enough. They haven't got the stamina to charge in all day.

I watched until 3:00, and I thought barring Carse the bowlers were fairly disciplined, without much luck. The dropped catch and a couple of edges that didn't carry to the slips in the first session alone.
