They were 102-1 at one point after lunch and folded like a cheap suit since

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Burns, Roy, Stokes. Fuck off all the other so called batsmen, including Bairstow.

 

Who comes in? Pope and Foakes for a start.

On this track we should have been finishing the day 300-3. 

 

Be all out for less than 250 now.

Fair play to England they've managed to make Paine's shit decision to put them in look like a masterstroke

[Chocoholic]

Australia never imagined they'd be in with a chance to be batting before the close of play today, did they?

 

Archer gone

[sir roger]

Like deja vu all over again.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

When the dust settles after this Test the knives will be well and truly out in the media, from columnists, ex players and fans alike. Not sure how Root and the coaches (Bayliss fucking off anyway) survive this, it is his job to get these players right mentally as well as tactically, they look shot to fuck. If Smith and Labuschange carry on their form the Aussies will only have to bat once.

Buttler thinks he's playing T20. how long before he gets himself out with a Billy Big Bollocks shot?

A bit unfair - he's almost out of batting partners. Why not have a go, within reason?

Alarm bells should have gone off and warnings signs were there against the mighty Ireland in how dismal this bunch are battling collectively.

If my life depended on it and you needed a batsmen to survive an over I"d pick Leach. He's the only batsmen who doesn't throw his wicket away and gets in line with the ball when defending.

[Chocoholic]

I'd pick Steve Smith, myself.

I don't want to thank that cheating fucker for anything ....

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Leach certainly knows how to stick about a bit, not sure why he's not been moved ahead of Archer in the batting. Bit of bottle at the end.

Archer, the man you said a few days ago was a renowned middle order batsmen?  

[Guest Pistonbroke]

I said he was renowned for his batting, not as a middle order batsman. Plus if you are just gonna act like a child and neg me for no other reason than to get your kicks then I'll just neg you back. You'll get bored and move onto someone else until it's my turn again, you poundland Piers Morgan wannabe.

But that's at county level, which Pistonbroke said highlighted the vast difference between 1st class and test levels

Did he? I remember reading it and looking at the stats and thinking he was talking bollocks again. 

 

I started to look back but had to stop reading his fucking horrendous posts.  No one in the world speaks like he posts. It’s cringeworthy. 

[sir roger]

Very up and down day , probably 60:40 to the Aussies.

 

Try to post over 300 and see where we are by close of play tomorrow. 

[Scooby Dudek]

Yeah, great start. I get that he is with the tail but Leach appears to have a very good defence, so no need to go crazy. 

 

 

 

EDIT: Well there you go, what the fuck do I know.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Perfect wicket for batting on, hopefully the Aussies fragile top order will fail again and Smith has an off day. Archer gets Warner as I type. 

[Mudface]

Fuck off Warner, you ape.

[Jairzinho]

Warner out, great surprise.

 

Tend to agree with Holding though. There was a spike, but I'm not convinced he did actually hit it.

His bat didn't look that close to it. Hard to say for sure I reckon

Yeah, it was just weird. No sound, no change in the rotation of the ball, and the spike was slightly out of sync with when the ball passed the bat.

 

But nowhere near anything else.
