Bad dropped catch there but * did David Gower never make a single mistake ever? Horrible commentator.

Jasom Roy is not a Test cricketers a-hole.

The only Pom batsmen I trust are Root and Stokes.

Calling Zondors!!!

 

[SonofSamsquanch]

Ah England. Channelling Boycott and boring us into submission.

Throw the bat ya' mugs !

Chris Tavaré says hi.

Burns has an odd stance - almost looking back over his shoulder at the bowler.

If there is a more regulation gully catch than Khawaja butchered I haven't seen it yet.

 

[Groucho]

Sidds should’ve had this prick out twice!

Ben Stokes 13, THIRTEEN!!

I wish Anthony Hudson was commentating.

 

[Twinkletoes]

We’re all over ‘em now with them 6/138. Keep the foot on the throat lads!

Bancroft has such a poor technique. Plants the front foot, head falls over to the off-side and plays around the pad. He just looks like he's going to get out.

Out caught ? Got an edge yeh ?

20.1 Ball is dead


20.1.1 The ball becomes dead when

20.1.1.5 whether played or not it lodges in the clothing or equipment of a batsman or the clothing of an umpire.

Some random comments:

1. Joffra Archer looks like an exciting prospect.

2. Mitchell Johnson is an interesting commentator

3. Can't believe that Lyon has the same number of wickets as Lillee.

4. This morning session is crucial.

Khawaja is putrid. Just lost a wicket and he dangles the bat like that. Dreadful player. Almost prefer a Marsh!

Haha, he's our 2nd best bat at the moment. His problem is that he always gets a start but hasn't been going on with it.

If you want to talk putrid, look at Bancroft's technique. LBW again.

Smith vs England. I am buckling tonight

 

[LuvtheKangas]

Hate to say it, but I think England are a good bet from here, if the weather holds out. Big if, I know.

 

[LuvtheKangas]

And as soon as I post that ...

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Given not out, reviewed. Hitting middle.

Smith has to be the man again. Our tail isn't as strong this game either, without Pattinson.

 

[Shermanator]

our top order...

It's too big an ask to expect him to make big runs both innings again. If they get him cheaply here, we're stuffed.

Rain is forecast. We might have to rely on it.
