[Bonefish Blues]

You've done it again

 

[Bonefish Blues]

Ashes gone, I'd suggest. This stand was the last chance saloon

 

[Beebo]

I think it's crucial they play well upto lunch.

That aged well.

That aged well.

It WAS crucial - I think I was spot-on, don't you, Eeyore??

 

[matticus]

Australia need to make the next few overs against the new batters count - in fact they're crucial overs.

 

[Grant Fondo]

Moeen can bat a bit ( but better watch what i'm saying)

Catchers win matchers
Bairstow is no way match fit total folly to pick him if it's for his batting then say so , drop someone and tell him days of keeping are over.

Yes it was crucial to play well.
Sadly they didn’t.
But these two have steadied the ship for now.

 

[Grant Fondo]

I was quite shocked to find out you can buy a replica Duckett GM bat ... for a small fortune.
Hope he swaps it for a better one 2nd innings.

 

[Bonefish Blues]

Need a Stokes bravura bazball 30 mins to try to get somewhere at least close now.

The first delivery after lunch is criticial.

 

[Beebo]

Mark Wood is the first England player to hit his first ball for six in a Test since Ian Botham at Edgbaston in 1985.

He's out, level heads are what's needed not hot heads.

 

[Beebo]

He’s out with 24 off 8 balls.
Not sure whether that’s good or bonkers.

He's the 5th highest scorer, across both inningses. I'm in no hurry to knock him.

(Cricket is a great game for such crazy stats )
