I don’t mind Stokes playing that shot, it was an awful delivery. Terrible execution though.

[Spy Bee]

 

36/4 - fucking told you!

[Guest Pistonbroke]

That Sam Curran bats 3 and can also bowl medium/fast pace. How is his career progressing? I don't think he's played a lot for Surrey this season.

Reminds me of the dark days of the 90s this collapsing like a pack of cards 

 

I remember watching us on tour in the Windies. Smith and Ramrakash put on about 10 runs in two hours. Think it was that innings were we were all out for a very low score (under 50). Excruciating stuff as it was the whole tour.

Having just seen it on BBC website, you have got to be joking?

 

It's a horrendous choice of shot under the circumstances of the game.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Well I've timed that well, that wanker Warne is in the comms box and I have to go to physio.....

This is the best I've seen Australia bowl for quite some time.

[Jairzinho]

Well, that was a good shot.

Hazelwood has been superb. Had the worst of the conditions as well.

He decided he couldn't keep relying on the French cut.

[Spy Bee]

How many wickets have come from awful shot selection/execution though? Almost all of them!

[Brownie]

That bad hour yesterday is gonna cost us, as I said yesterday. 100 all out and this wouldn’t be nearly as bad.

 

We’re fucked now.

[Toxteth O'Grady]

Get Brearley back in for the last 3 tests.

Mike or Amos.

Brought about, I reckon, by the absolutely claustrophobic consistency, persistence and quality of the bowling.

I think it's been absolutely exceptional.

 

[Jairzinho]

Warner has been absolutely phenomenal.

It's not like they've been under the cosh for several sessions. Not one batsman has faced 50 balls, most have faced a lot less.

This is freakish bowling and fielding.

I don't think it's the pitch either.

It's genuinely brilliant stuff.

Some of the shots have been dodgy, but brought about by the relentless quality of virtually every ball.

 

[Manny]

Worst of the cheating cunts Warner having a laugh here.

 

The lack of spine in this England side is just sickening. They’re fucking laughing at you, you fucking stupid twats, and all you do is keep obliging them with wicket after wicket. Heads should roll for this kind of predictable shit but they won’t. “Aggressive (sic braindead) cricket” will be the order of the day. Fuck technique.

They haven't got the temperament.

 

When conditions are good we're probably the best around. When they're difficult, we're one of the worst.

[Jairzinho]

Sent a message to my old man when we were 10-2. Said we'd get 120 with Woakes as top scorer with about 35.

 

I didn't think I was being optimistic at the time...

Yes, true.

I just think this is totally next level bowling and fielding in the context of this Series so far.

Just about every ball in two hours has been on the money.

All's well that ends well.

 

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

Oops

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

A few playing their last tests here, pure shithousery. Batting wise rip up the script and start afresh. Burns, Root, Stokes maybe Bairstow the others can go.

Stalwarts, where are the stalwarts? Not Alec.
