Ashes 2015, Third Test - England v Australia - Day 1 - Edgbaston Stadium, Birmingham

That suits us, in fact our useless hack batsmen only play well in those conditions. We win the toss once, and then we can set the game up.

It's pretty difficult to win the toss score quick enough and and roll the opposition twice on a dead pitch, doing it once was special but expecting to do it again to save the ashes is expecting a lot.

The ashes are going to be won or lost right here and now.

Just saw the highlights. So many balls that got wickets did not needed to be played at.

On a positive note, with Starc bowling so many balls wide of off stump, maybe the Australian batsmen are taking note of how to leave the ball correctly, courtesy A.Cook.

 

[Milksteak]

Does Starc have a straight one?

 

[BluesMan]

Hope the outfield was roped. If it really is that damp, it's pretty concerning for our chances.

Even that dickhead lyth is middling them now

 

[Ready To Rumble]

Got him. Yesssssss!!!

 

[LukeParkerno1]

You know you are bowling bad when balding Lyth is middling them!

 

[ChampRevesby]

Come on. They are going to leave everything that isn't just outside off on a good length.

 

[Smeg Head]

Got him. Yesssssss!!!

Think he's gone beyond balding.

Garbage bowling, no pressure on the batsman, as soon as they are set the game is lost.

* me dead starc you tall lumbering piece of s**t

 

[Dagless]

Starc is the master of the 'don't have to play at, but it swings nicely' delivery.

'Swinging nicely!'
'That's the line!'

Fock off.

 

[Bucking Beads]

If England any sort of worthwhile lead here we are screwed. 20 or 30 is manageable but not much more
