Nice- are you attending more than one day, Rico? Bit of a bummer to have most of it washed out like this.

Just today. It’s been good, but cricket shit.  Plans haven’t changed. Same field as first overs.

Can’t believe i’m gonna be there to see them retain the urn, FFS.

Shame, best fill your boots with the WAGs, reckon they owe you at least that.

[Brownie]

Serious questions over Root’s captaincy today for me. 

[Colt Seavers]

7 an over under these conditions at Headingley is criminal

[Colt Seavers]

If he is given out on the field there surely that little flicker means it's out.

If umpire had not given I would get it

[Rico1304]

Why are they having a fucking drink?

 

ive just disgraced myself by shouting ‘get out you cheating bastard’. In front of his wife. She loved the review.

Shout it again, she won't like it as much with no review to save him 

[Rico1304]

She’s gone in. Travis’s dad ain’t happy. 

[Jairzinho]

Good player this lad.

[Rico1304]

It’s gone dark again 

[Colt Seavers]

Probably 40 more runs than they should have due to that Woakes and Stokes spell.

7 down tonight would be nice though 

[Mudface]

More like it. No steel in the middle order without Smith.

His replacement isn't doing too bad.....please have jinxed him 

[Jairzinho]

Looks class, Labadadshane or whatever his fucking name is. Worrying if him, Warner, and Smith are getting runs.

[Jairzinho]

Although he appears to be under the impression 9, 10 and jack are Bradman. 

 

Why the fuck isn't he farming the strike?

Yeah I did wonder if he was playing for himself here.

If you compare it to Smith in the first test when he went one day mode

[sir roger]

That Labuschagne has been very impressive in both of his appearances , but he has such a gormless face & I would love to shove that ever-present chewing gum down his throat.

[Jairzinho]

He has gone full window licker there.

[sir roger]

Can you get done for simulation in cricket ?

[Jairzinho]

I thought he was going to cry.

[sir roger]

All's well that ends well.

 

Brilliant by Archer , he'll probably be batting by quarter to one tomorrow.

[Brownie]

That’s more like it!

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Excellent day of Test cricket.

 

England bowled really well with the new ball and had their early wickets. Archer and Broad sent loads of unplayable balls down and were unlucky not to get more. Aussies then had a spell after the Rain/early tea break and fair fucks to that wanker Warner for digging in, he looked like a walking wicket early on. That Labuschange also had a decent knock, apart from that they really didn't have a good day with the bat. Archer with excellent figures and Broad may only have got the two wickets but he bowled really well all day. 

Set up for a good day tomorrow and the weather should be a lot better for batting. Hopefully we can get 350+ and it would be very hard for the Aussies to escape the game with anything. 

[Colt Seavers]

Ok so Jimmy obviously walks into next test if fit at expense of Woakes...which 2 do you open the bowling with?
