Sids with a caught and bowled. I hope you saw that one Spide.

Nah, went to bed at 3.00

 

[Hojuman]

Smith averaging 125 this series ?

 

[Twinkletoes]

Nah, went to bed at 3.00

I wish I did this morning after sticking it out till stumps. #cockeyed

Wish you guys were there. Just bumped into Bumble (AKA The Bee) - funny guy. Was telling me how the saying “Joe the Goose” came about.
And then Michael Holding (AKA Whispering Breath) was telling me how Joel Garner (no relation to Taylor) would celebrate an Ashes win by doing a naked hand stand, but after a significant eye injury due to a stray appendage scratching his cornea, his management insisted Joel wear ski goggles if he wanted to continue the antiquated tradition. I suppose that’s fair enough when you think about it.

And I’ve had a few guys PM me asking whether Jeffrey Archer is in any way related to Shinboner of the Century Glen Archer. I can confirm categorically, without a shadow of a doubt, that they are not.

Anyway, off for some strawberries and cream.

 

[Twinkletoes]

England have declared, leaving us with a target of 260 from 48 overs.

 

[nelroo]

Young fella Archer has a bit to learn. Smirking and laughing and not showing a lot of concern for Smith.
Game on now prick..

 

[SpiderBurton22]

5/138 with 65 balls to go. Leach on a hatrick and Archer at the other end. Game on

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Wow. Henly takes a 1 handed hanger of a Paine pull shot. 6 down with 7 overs to go.

Terrible shot in the situation

 

[SpiderBurton22]

4 overs to go and Archer can't bowl because it's to dark. Denly bowling leggies

 

[Groucho]

Just saw a replay of Root's "catch" to get out Laburschagne (?) er Marnus. In what frickin' universe is that given out?

 

[The acurate one]

For us to be in tiptop shape for the next Ashes tour, we should play a series at home in July/August. So we can experience similar English summer conditions.

 

[LuvtheKangas]

Got out of jail. Mainly thanks to the weather.

Unbelievable. The video review umpire must’ve been on the sauce as he watched the same replay we saw and stated with certainty “OUT!” Utter crap!

I hope we manage to soften up Archer when he’s batting at Headingly.

 

[Mav]

Warner out, Harris in.

 

[Hojuman]

Thommo & Johnson to spearhead the attack 3rd test.

 

[Nate7]

Just on that, it had me thinking of the time Michael Clarke told a batsman to "get ready for a ****en broken arm".

Yeah it might be shit to say something like that, but Joffra Archer showed what a piece of shit the English can and have been.

 

[Twinkletoes]

Warner out, Harris in.

Yeah Warner’s batting average of 4 after 4 innings should see him out for now. Watching him sitting alongside the coach holding back tears hardly filled the rest of the batsmen with positive vibes. His technique’s all over the shop and the Poms have him worked out, just as we have Jason Roy sorted.

Guess who the 3rd umpire was.

Joel Wilson. and the worst thing is I think he's back in the middle this next test.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Warner out, Harris in.

Uzzie to open, Labushagne at 3?

Also Patto back in for Hazelwood.

Continuing a great tradition of making the english 11 look more like the world 11 in the fine history of lamb and peterson..

 

[muttley45]

Hey Jofra, the Karma bus baby, headin your way.

 

[D23D]

Just on that, it had me thinking of the time Michael Clarke told a batsman to "get ready for a fu**en broken arm".

Yeah it might be s**t to say something like that, but Joffra Archer showed what a piece of s**t the English can and have been.

Pretty sure Clarke said that to Anderson, who after hearing it, his facial expression looked like he was walking to the gallows!

I should've said the person batting at the time. Using the term "batsman" conjures up a top 4 type.
Anyway, like any cricketer, Joffra better be able to take it!

 

[big_e]

Where did that hit you, Ben Stokes?
