Guys people get on CW Commentary. They've got Healy and Warne on. I'm certain **** like that is against the Geneva Convention.

Really the problem with Australia's first innings was that we lost Rogers, Smith and Warner within the first two overs. Our middle order has been utterly dire for some time now and these three have been propping up the rest. It's been three out seven out for some time. What we're seeing here is quite typical of Rogers/Warner - a 50 run opening stand. The 60 largely happened because the three decent batsmen we have all fell early yesterday.

Depending on what line they originally play and how much the ball moves...sometimes you're just lucky not to edge it.

This is the Finn we know and love.

Watch your faces from your knees jerking hard

Jeez, Broad's actually bowled an even tighter line in this innings than he did first innings. Gone from everything edging to almost nothing.

****ing Cook, damn.

Innings and 50.

Reckon Australia will get to 200-250 without many alarms then will fall in a heap again.

You said it yourself that's because you're ****. The 'not good enough to nick it' thing applies to non-test standard batsmen and tailenders. Top order batsman should be tight enough outside off to miss it

not sure if srs

 

[Swingpanzee]

God the best thing about the first innings is that every run seems so sweeeeet now.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

I should actually start gambhiring for England so that there's some excitement in this match

This is such an amazing start for Aus. England can't seem to buy a wicket here.

lol wait I'm totally confused now

> Implying the Australians are Test-standard (in these quintessentially English conditions)

Of course. Don't disagree.

I'm always srs brah

 

[TheJediBrah]

Ian Healy subtly trying to accuse England of ball tampering?


Probably not. He doesn't even know what the word "subtle" means.

Really the problem with Australia's first innings was that we lost Rogers, Smith and Warner within the first two overs

So you're saying 3 for **** all inside 2 overs isn't a recipe for success?? Who'd have thought........

 

[WalkingWicket]

*quietly panics*

 

[TheJediBrah]

Aus having all the luck today

 

[King Pietersen]

What is that shot Warner keeps playing? It's horrible. Play a proper pull shot ffs.

 

[Jono]

Eng are soon going to hit $1.20 to win on Betfair.

Put your **** on that. Deadset that's free money.
