Fucking awful. I'm taking the dog for another walk.Christ, I hadn't even put it on yet and don't think I will. Just wandered on to the BBC Sport site to check. Embarrassing
Root and Stokes are out before all of The Flintstones have taken their seats in the Hollies.
I'm taking the dog for another walk.
No but the missus did ask me the other week if I'd seen the dog bowl. I said I didnt know she played cricket! Boom boom boom chah!Can he bat?
If so, make sure he is around for the next test
Over confidence against the new ball maybe?Smith and Brook doing incredibly well but you have to ask why 3 batters, including the captain, gave us nothing.
If the wicket is that flat then you should be expecting 40/50 at least from them and it puts the game within reach.
I still think the sensible option is to try and play a draw.
New ball was doing a bit. Different umpire and woakes could have 3 wickets day one (Inc 2 before lunch both clipping the stumps so umpire's decision)Over confidence against the new ball maybe?
And there it isNot out the question there could be 5 ducks in the innings as well.
After losing their first wicket, England failed to last more than five balls between wickets throughout the remainder of their innings.
Watch the England game? What England game? Are England playing?Windies kept it close to trail by about 30 odd before all out (questionable last out, my opinion) yesterday, then managed to get Konstas to clatter his own stumps with a wayward swing in the first over, then rapped Khawaja at the knee. Aus end at 12-2 for 45 run lead to start the 3rd day here in about 10 minutes or so.
For those who can't watch (or no longer WANT to watch) the England game, I do recommend the West Indies game as there's been constant excitement and still surprisingly close to make for an interesting finish.
That answers that question!Only need 608, should be fine.
Can we manage to get through to the end of the day without chucking one or two wickets away?
