Either close the curtains or tell the police

240 for England to win and we'd have a great game.

I’d have Aussies as huge favourites.

[sir roger]

Can't see we are 45% to 34% favourites over Australia despite what that computer says.

Yep. Although I'd snap your hand off to only be chasing 240.

Fuck sake , we will have to drop Moeen , as his poor form means we are having to bowl part-timers at a crucial stage.

 

With our predilection for collapses , I'm not confident we would win this even if the Aussies declared now. 

 

 p.s. Is Woakes injured ?

Moeen should have been dropped. Only one of Buttler or Bairstow should play unless one bats well in the second innings. Foakes should be playing and keeping wicket.

Anyone else start nodding off when Gower opens his gob? He's so tedious.

[Brownie]

That wicket should have been a no ball.

No, I think he’s boss.

Find Gower okay. Much prefer to listen to Holding, Atherton and a couple of others, but Gower is infinitely preferable to all the insufferable "theory every two deliveries" twats. You can have 20/20 cricket, you can even have 50 over games, but leave test cricket the fuck alone.

Do I watch the Community Shield or stick with this?

Flick between the two.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

I don't think England have bowled badly this morning apart from Ali who seems to be just going through the motions as he probably knows himself he'll be close to being dropped. Denly has looked far more threatening. Aussies with a bit of luck early doors but Smith is just in the form of his life, probably using all the negativity about his crocodile tears and cheating to spur himself on even more. Game still in the balance for me, the pitch looks dead, Lyon will be a threat but we have some good players of spin these days. Not listening to Brownie, he has Aussies as favourites regardless of the situation, the miserable git...said in a friendly way...

I can't multitask.  It has to be one or the other.

Footie always comes first.

Both....easy enough to do. Cricket on stum, especially if Warne is on comms.

That's what I'm thinking, but Ashes.

 

Cold and naked on the floor.

Warne is the worst at that, he never shuts up saying the same thing every few balls.

20 over to go before new ball.

 

Aussies scoring at nearly 4 an over.
