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

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. -

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?
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? 😉

23°C at Leeds right now.
25°C predicted for my place tomorrow.
Summer?
24 overs in the session (bit slow)
54 runs
6 wicketsThere is nothing less boring in the world than Australians who post English Summer vs Aussie winter bullshit. Only seen it 48 million times. Get a new joke FFS.
Guess what. If I wanted to live somewhere with 40 degree summers, I would!
I don't! Deal with it!

Weird ay? Balance looks wrong in that team.
Maybe less a balance problem, and more a problem that their top 7 can't seem to score any runs.
If those guys actually made a few, it is a pretty handy side.Well... they are also struggling for an effective spinner..

I have a sneaky feeling here ... that England will still get a first innings lead. And ... I'm going to put my balls on the stone here.
Avatar for a week that England take a first innings lead.
Whose up for it?
Good on ya MR. Gutsy call. Not impossible. It only takes one meaningful stand...
Personally I think @NTA should be taking you up on this one. I'm just a neutral here. -
@Billy-Webb Well if the top few don't score you are always going to have issues. Roy doesn't look like a test cricketer to me (neither does Steve Smith - so what do I know).
As for English spinners...who was the last really, really good one??
And yes they are a handy side at ODI. They don't look so good at test cricket to me.

Personally I think @NTA should be taking you up on this one. I'm just a neutral here.Agree, but the bet is only available until the next England wicket falls. And I suspect NTA maybe gone for the day now .... so if anybody else wants to take me on. Be my guest.
