[Spark]

That is really, really bad.

 

[Cabinet96]

Unbelievable.

 

[Gnske]

That was far too easy.

 

[Starfighter]

This is going to be a slaughter isn't it?

 

[adub]

Gee. Look what happens when you pitch it up.

 

[morgieb]

That is offensive from the side's best batsman and captain.

 

[Cow]

Going for a surf

 

[Starfighter]

The shot of a real idiot. You know, someone who's so stupid they'd have chosen to bowl first on this wicket.

 

[Cabinet96]

Feels like Root is falling so far behind the rest of the fab four.

 

[adub]

this will probably be the innings Cook smudges out a shaky 50 before he fails to pass 30 again for the series.

 

[Daemon]

2 wickets so early in this first session proves Australia didn't need to declare. Wickets would have come regardless.

 

[Cabinet96]

this will probably be the innings Cook smudges out a shaky 50 before he fails to pass 30 again for the series.

Early signs of Lords in 2015 isn't it?

Edit: It would be nice if the others would chip in on the days Cook gets his act together rather than when he's getting single figures.

 

[Burgey]

Oh thats terrible by Root. He’s in a bad headspace at the crease right now.

 

[social]

Root didn't look comfortable facing Cummins in Brisbane and obviously still hasn't lined him up

 

[adub]

Tbf it woulda been like this if England batted first.

Better length at 10-15kph faster. Our attack suits these conditions, England's don't.

 

[Starfighter]

Love to see a comparative pitch map. I really don't see how England could possibly have failed to discern that they should have pitched the ball further up than they did, but they managed it.

 

[stephen]

These wickets this morning have come as gifts but you can't help but think the Aussies have done their homework here.

 

[Starfighter]

That's unconvincing from Malan, tstl.

 

[Spark]

What the hell is England's approach this afternoon
