Ashes 2019

[NTA]

Burns gone. Cummins started going short and the pressure told

[NTA]

Shit gets wickets. Ranga kiwi boi chases an utterly terrible delivery From Pattinson and goes to Warner again.

[Billy Webb]

England batsmen doing their level best to throw away this test.

Stokes gone now driving at a wide one: 34/4

[NTA]

@Billy-Webb don't think that qualifies as "driving". Terrible waft.

Not really sure you call that. "Waft" will do but f'ing terrible school boy stuff. Bloody Cantabs.

Bye Ranga 2.

Hoff wrecking the Pommy batting line-up like a wrecking thing

[TeWaio]

@NTA Why Hoff? Hazelwood = Hasselhoff?

[sparky]

Absolutely extraordinary Morning Session from the Aussie bowlers. On the back foot at Stumps last night, now on the cusp of taking a 2-0 lead and retaining the Urn.

[NTA]

@TeWaio correct.

Woakes stands to be top scorer here. Prick has a way of making runs.

And Joel Wilson fucks up again. Count to 6 you dick.

[Billy Webb]

If I had a ticket for day 4 I'd be starting to worry.
If I had a ticket for day 5 I'd be considering using it to wipe my ...

Geez this is poor batting by England

[NTA]

Right on the tip

[Billy Webb]

So much for my pontificating about Starc's inclusion / exclusion.
If Pattinson, Hazelwood and Cummins are going to keep getting these sorts of results, then I'm afraid Starc isn't going to get a look in.

[NTA]

How the fuck did that miss?

I'm just jealous.

Archer to be England's top performer with ball and bat?

How do you get a job being a specialist batsman at 7? If this buttler fella was any good ( at test cricket) wouldn't he be at 4?

[NTA]

23°C at Leeds right now.
25°C predicted for my place tomorrow.
Summer?

24 overs in the session (bit slow)
54 runs
6 wickets

If you have a true allrounder like Stokes, it makes it possible.

They don't come around often...

@Billy-Webb the luxury of a number 7 specialist batsman with one ton in 58 goes? 😉

Weird ay? Balance looks wrong in that team.
