Bit stiff making Head run a 3 in pads

 

[The Lobbster]

Why are we bowling Cam Green?

Gotta keep the quicks fresh for the second new ball

 

[Sydney Kicker]

Why are we bowling Cam Green?

No one in the England camp volunteered to give the batsmen a few throw downs to get their eye in so Cam decided to help out.

 

[CakeEater]

Why are we bowling Cam Green?

64 overs its usually where you go the a/r

 

[icyflakes]

God that was such a stupid shot, lucky Green didn't grab it.

 

[satty]

Gotta keep the quicks fresh for the second new ball

Why can't we rush through the overs with head and lyon?

 

[grumbleguts]

Nothing is as slow as England's winning in Australia rate - 15 years and counting.

Crawley should be the one being fined.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Cummins seems stiff

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Why are we bowling Cam Green?

Presumably as The Lobbster said, for the new ball. But I wouldn't have thought a short Boland spell before Green would hurt unless Cummins isn't sure how much he can bowl.

 

[grumbleguts]

With English/European football some of the songs are actually decent and most of the stadium sings to generate a raucous home atmosphere.

The Barmy Army doesn't piss me off that much, but being charitable they are a pocket of mindless tools running a cringeworthy routine "on tour".

Try getting seats next to them in the crowd.

 

[Sydney Kicker]

Gotta keep the quicks fresh for the second new ball

Surely one of Cummins, Boland or Starc could have a crack for at least 3 overs. I think this is a mistake from Cummins. The only microscopic chance England have of winning is a big stand from these two. Should not be giving them a free ride at the start of the day.

 

[Bucking Beads]

New ball should be fun if the cloud cover remains

 

[Scorpus]

Green is bowling well, don't see the issue. He's already creating chances

 

[TigerCraig]

Going along at 4 an over, England to win in 50 odd overs

/s

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Jacks' limp. These two getting injured would probably do England's chances no harm in Melbourne and Sydney.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Now that I see the oval on tv I wish I went in.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Not many wickets have fallen in the first hour of each day except maybe day 1

 

[Neese]

lol at the chatter

 

[Gavin Excell]

Is Will Jacks really tgeir

Jacks' limp. These two getting injured would probably do England's chances no harm in Melbourne and Sydney.

Is he really their best spinner?

 

[satty]

Why can't we just rush through the next 12 overs quickly using head and then bring the new ball in early.

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Why start with Green? Soft start to the day

 

[TasSixer]

Not convinced England are out of this yet

 

[Outtatym]

Just knick it ya mug

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

It's not over yet, these 2 are capable enough to eat into the chase. If they are still there at lunch things will get interesting.
