Nah, that would involve trying to get him out.  Just pepper his head, it's not like he's already been struck.

 

England fans booed him to the crease.  Classy cunts. 

 

Ah, I see what you mean.  

The intimidating stuff is designed to get them out mate. Mitchell Johnson was on TMS earlier saying some of his best and most intimidating stuff was just to rough a batter up so another one of the bowlers could take the wicket.

 

Archer roughed him up and Woakes took the wicket. It’s no different.

Fair enough, it just doesn't sit right with me.  Can't change how I feel about it, mate.  I prefer to get people out through skill instead of targeting their head.  What the Aussies do is no business of mine.

Jason Roy’s not gonna make it as opener at all. Needs to be at 4 or not in the team at all.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

I remember watching the West Indies in their 15 year pomp bowling four top fast bowlers all day, scary stuff. 

[Jairzinho]

Another fabulous knock from Roy.

[Brownie]

Uh oh.

[Jairzinho]

Having to walk through the long room, having got a first baller, with those utter gimps clapping you in would drive me insane.

[Brownie]

No need to play that at all. Denly won’t last long.

 

We’ll lose from here.

[Captain Howdy]

My god were shit, like proper proper shit

[Captain Howdy]

Also, take the captaincy off Root, yesterday

Yep.

 

Best batsman. Let him concentrate on that.

 

And...shit captain.

Aussies peppering Burns with short stuff. Cunts eh TK?

He’s a number 4 or 5 at best

Well, yeah.

 

I mean, not for that reason, like.

[Bjornebye]

*yawn*

[Captain Howdy]

My god we’re utterly fucking pathetic, time for a rain dance.

[Bjornebye]

I don't now if this is great from the Aussies or absolutely fucking diabolical from England. 

 

Both? 

[s(k)aturation]

 

If the Australians bothered to review LBWs England might really be in trouble.

 

150 could win it for either side.

[Captain Howdy]

Australia piss these Ashes don’t they?

[Jairzinho]

Or if the umpires weren't absolutely fucking woeful.

I’m gonna go with the latter, we’re utter shite

Yeah, two pretty clear (and identical) LBWs not given.

 

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Playing batsmen who know where their of stump is or how to leave a ball could really help us. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

I agree about Root being replaced as Captain, he's just not good enough. Also move him back to 4th, we lose that many early wickets he's having to face a pretty new cherry, which is the one weakness in his game. Fuck Roy off with this opening lark, it's a fucking embarrassment.
