I believe you; thousands on here (well; tens) wouldn't! Piss poor shot by "Roooooooooooot" there; very similar to Lyth's brainfart. Why did they go chasing such wide deliveries? We're not even halfway through the second day, so it's not like we're pushed for time.the fuck you doing Starc?!
In all seriousness Jimbo, I've missed most of The Ashes so far. Missed a good chunk of the first 2 games as I was in NZ and midweek I only watch up till lunch as I start work early. Plus I have trivia on Wednesdays...can't miss trivia!
Well Starc, I take that back. The wicket I wanted.

Really could have done without that.

oh dear, oh dear, Bell has a lot to answer for for his stupidity last night.
Really need to sort county out, as at the moment this Yorkshire England wouldn't beat Bangladesh.

It's a pitch where you need to be decisive and not do anything stupid, yet neither team has managed that. Pretty much every wicket has been through playing at something that you don't need to, or being indecisive. When players have actually left the ball well and then just punished the bad balls, it's looked simple. The Aussie bowling has been really ordinary, we really should be putting on a proper lead, but instead we've just given our wickets away

Both sides have batted really poorly. The bowling hasn't been anything really special. Didn't even Jimmy say last night that he thought he's bowled better than he did yesterday?It's a pitch where you need to be decisive and not do anything stupid, yet neither team has managed that.

We at least didn't bowl the amount of terrible deliveries that they have. We were line and length, pretty tight and didn't give many loose ones and then let them get themselves out. They've been averaging a loose one every over, if not more. The amount of shit balls on the pads that Hazelwood and Starc have bowled, I've no idea why we've had 3 guys out either chasing wide ones or playing aggressive shots. It's just not needed with the way they've been gifting us runsBoth sides have batted really poorly. The bowling hasn't been anything really special.

The most irritating thing about this whole series is our complete inability to face Nathan fucking Lyon.

We'll do well to stretch the lead to 100, unless Ali starts to throw the bat and gets a quick, streaky 30 or 40.
