Bazball really is a cult. Time for us to undertake some deprogramming. 2-0 at Lords, thank you.

Unfortunately it's already 1-1 according to Crawley

150 runs, eh? Zak should be good for about 50 of those across his two innings.

That shows they're drinking their own bathwater. Instead of acknowledging that Australia stuck to their own game, didn't get sucked in by England's style (and also actually bloody won the match), they're acting like it was an anomaly. This means they won't adjust and are every chance of losing the second test.

I thought Stokes wanted flat roads. Now Floginson is wanting a bit more in it. What gives?

He averages 28 so you're selling him 6 runs short. But boy, they'll be an entertaining 56 runs!

Here's the thing, without the rain in the first session we're much more likely to win the match rather than relying on Cummins and Lyon savings us in the last session.

Bizarre that Wisden get that moron to write a column.

So that we don't clog up the Wiggles thread with cricket talk, and to preserve Badge's sanity. Anyway, Warner shouldn't be in the team.

Don’t think he fancies bowling 400 more overs than the Aussie’s over the course of the series.

He's the type that doesn't fancy too much hard work.

Floginson:

One thing I can guarantee. You’re going to see us come harder and harder.

BBC sports has a great cricket thread with plenty of Poms in denial having a whinge.

Dear Mr. Badger,

There are not enough Ashes threads nowadays. Please add three.

P.S. I am not a crackpot.

Wish Ollie played in 2013. Would have flown back to England in a body bag

Robinson is absolutely loving this attention. He's just living the ashes villain role to perfection. Good on him. Pedestrian seamers don't get much attention otherwise.

[Dazzler9]

To paraphrase Poms in recent times.

Broad - "The last Ashes series didn't really count."

Robinson - "We were the real winners. Even though we were the losers."

Stokes - "Ah well, you win some, you lose some."

Anderson - "I can't play on these pitches. I might pull out if this continues."

Things are going swimmingly then.

 

[Dazzler9]

Also:

Stokes to groundstaff - "We want flat, batting-friendly pitches please."

Anderson and Robinson - "We want something in it for the bowlers."

If we snag a win at Lord's, the wheels might just start falling off.
