Get in.

No way?

Boooom!

Boom

19 year old escort.

No one is perfect guys. Just chill the **** out and enjoy the cricket.

One innings aint going to make the series. Disappointing start for you guys, but its well early. Early wickets will come for you lot if you bowl in the right areas. Don't chase the wickets, they'll come if your patient and consistent.

Really? Christ almighty that’s embarrassing.

Labuschagne is such a ****. Trying to copy Smith’s eccentric style and just looking like a cock when leaving the ball.

Come on Woody

Chin music to this ****

(Sorry Bones)

Coincidentally, that’s what Stuart MacGill drives

Enjoy the cricket?

What the fvck?

Oh good. Three more Aussie commentators.

Have Australians heard of diversity or is this what they lap up at home?

I think you mean 'endure'.

Chapeau

Trevor?

Enjoy it. I've still it enjoyed it when you guys have beaten us. Not as much mind you, but still enjoyed it.

Are they any more **** ish things than a Safa-Australian …?

Yep.
Old Joe Paxton is probably up there, or maybe even more ****ish:p

There are a totally disproportionate number of annoying Australians.

Any kind posters here with a link to a stream?

Happy to come on here and talk cricket. Happy to have a bit of banter as well.
:S: of the constant barrage though. You want it your way, I'll accommodate.
You want to chat cricket, I'll gladly join in.

You beauty

Stokes!

Oh Ben

Fair enough.

Ah FFS

Not out, no ball.

No ball.

Fvck me sideways

How big is that

Shiiiiiiiiit

Boollix

Ah bollocks

Anyone else lost BT Sport on Virgin Media?

I’ve hurt my arm celebrating that non wicket

Oh for ****s sake.

Fvck me. Edges dropping short at the GABBA.

Aussies getting all the luck this morning. Fuuuuuuucking hell.

Can’t ask much more of the bowlers here, they’ve been brilliant so far.

Cordon too deep to Woakes?

Why do the Australians have to act out a mime after every delivery? Legz Akimbo Theatre Company. Utter maladjusts.

Yeah no complaints there.

You are a great man!

Been superb.

Haven’t got the rewards for their hard work so far. Aussies should be a couple down at least.

Your boys have been outstanding this morning. Seriously unlucky at times but they've really showed some character here.
Long may it NOT continue.

Am going to bed and the radio, enough of the Aus inanity on BT sport

Awful commentary.
But BT being tight one assumes or not having resources

England unlucky but Leach over Broad is just beyond nuts

Which village green side does Rory Burns play for?

#AllTimeDud

Someone missed the memo Bonesy, well dropping Warner did not help either. :(

You little Tinker :)

Very astute :).....for an Aussie

The Australian comms are alright, atm at least, admitting their batsmen have been riding their luck. Comms from other territories would be interesting though

Wood gets Smiff....good news and warranted

I had a tooth out yesterday. Miles preferable to this

Burns needs a big score in the second innings

Oooh, look at the time, everybody. It’s racist o’clock!

Thumping defeat incoming here but we can still win this series

Leach ... oh dear

Ian Chappell on the radio said he would have picked Broad instead of Leach and let Root do the spinning . Think he might have been right. Poor Leach has T20 figures.

Yeah, difficult to disagree, albeit with hindsight.

Pretty sure the Aussie said they would go all out attack on Leach who they saw as the weakest bowler. And there you go, another big mistake made by England before the coin was tossed. Its incredible how Rooty and co. have got so much wrong.

If Australia get bowled out today, England’ll send in two nightwatchmen

Just seen Burns dropping the dolly at slip. He was dropping them through last summer, why do we persist having him in the slips ? Why is he even in the team ?

EFA

Is Silverwood's job on the line or do we not have the players?

Why thank you ol' chum.
Shall take that as a compliment. You've made my day:D

Old Leach is having a tough time of it. Weird selection that one.
Can only think Broad and Anderson must be both carrying injuries or minor niggles.

Or rather Silverwood and Rooty are pretty clueless.

Innings defeat incoming. Will set the tone for the series.

Imagine dropping Broad after deciding to rest Anderson, and then choosing to bat first.

I did the same. Can’t stand it.

Bloody hell. Just seen Leach’s figures. He’s gone for 95 off 11 overs.

How does a captain let that happen?

By picking him

So how did picking a finger spinner at the Gabba over the guy who has the hoodoo over Australia's leading batsmen work out?

Laughable decisions off the pitch and on it.

Just seen Burns drop. I mean, come on, it’s not even slightly difficult is it.

Pathetic cricketer.

We knew the decision to leave Broad out and play Leach (another average county player) was nuts, so no surprise at the outcome of that one.

Root and Silverwood need their heads banging together.

Shoddy work

I see Burns is the new Benteke.

He is doing his best here to be Benteke

Can we win this now????

(My poor attempt at humour)

Is this a double post from 00:01 yesterday?

I think Burns is probably a better footballer than a cricketer.

:D

Yes. Of course we can.





No. No we can’t, sorry.

Well I guessed one bowler would break down, just got the wrong one.

Feel massively for Robinson, Woakes and Wood. Let down by everyone around them, particularly at the top including the captain and vice-captain.

Will your 350 or my over 500 be right. That’s something to keep the interest going :D

Do I really have to get bt to watch this ?

That was a fantastic attacking innings from Travis Head. Completely turned the match on its head.
At 5-195, it was anyones game, he single handedly turned it around.

He could always do some physio! :rolleyes:

Poor chap looks like an uglier version of Mitchell Johnson

No I am still stuck in a time loop when we used to play good cricket :)

Ah shit, yeah. Good point. He must have done zero work on his fitness because he's tweeting about watching The Ashes.

I went to bed at 1:30. There was a degree of inevitability that we were bowling too well to not be getting wickets and it was always going to lead to a big score incoming.

Shocking decisions everywhere.
I have a degree of sympathy with certain aspects, that so many of them have had minimal cricket due to the weather, and that can excuse certain elements of play.

But brain dead decision after brain dead decision seems to be order of the day.

Did he not get injured playing football during last ashes?

England's front line spinner taking one wicket for nearly a hundred runs and Rory Burns dropping yet another straight forward chance at second slip

Good to see some things are back to normal

:D

Somewhere bang in the middle I’d suggest.

Be somewhat poetic :p

Over 500 at this moment is hard, maybe 400ish is my guess

I don’t recall.

However, I vote for the squad playing football before the second test…

I was thinking of someone from Deliverance! Who told him he'd look good with a 'tache?

Unless its a Movember thing!

He did play exceptionally well and I just hope he don’t bowl and take some wickets when we bat next that would be like rubbing salt on our wounds

Lol

:)

Whichever village Green Burns played for does not matter, what matters is he made it to England first XI.

Are you getting jealous? Maybe you think you is a better player but couldn’t make it to the Sunday league 4th team….

:D

Pretty sure it's a belated Movember thing and he's got his dates mixed up.
