Marnus is so fucking lucky.

Buttler is a dogshit Test keeper, though. Christ.

Wouldn't be near the team if he wasn't liked because of his white ball stuff. That was a pathetic drop. No excuse for that.

Commentators being overly kind on the first one: saying it was a tough chance. Second one: surely one of the worst drops ever. Given he's meant to be a keeper, that was worse than Denly's spill of Williamson. :crazy:

I think this is why England went with 4 frontline pace bowlers plus Stokes, rather than including a true spinner. They can't leave him out, but just in case he breaks down...

Why don't Australia just flick Harris and promote all the top order batters one place?

1. Warner
2. Labuschagne
3. Smith
4. Head
5. Green

By then they'll have a thousand runs on the board, so why persist with all these other failed "specialist" openers?

The next session is crucial for England. If they don't bowl Australia out I reckon they're fucked.

Burns is not Broad's favourite cricketer.

Gives him an earful for not cutting off the leg glance from Smith at leg gulley, and then he throws five overthrows.

Cracking T20 wicket, this.

473/9 declared. Another absolute pounding on the horizon.

Recurring theme of Root's captaincy is being completely clueless against the tail. Horrendous viewing.

Richardson has no leap at the crease at all, very odd.

Good Lord that's a bad shot, Hameed.

12/2 on a flat pitch. Woohoo!

Maybe he meant Neser?

Good debut for him so far.

Is there a point where England get stripped of competing for the Ashes?

Replace them with India or something?

I remember looking at that article and thinking I'd have what some of them were smoking. This was never going to be a close series.

I will drink excessively, sing on occasion, but those twats hardly watch the cricket....

Re drinking to excess, did I ever tell you guys the easiest way to get 3L of wine into a ground (that isn't Lord's)
