By all accounts Jimmy is supposed to be a really nice fella, pretty reserved, shy almost and always has time for fans etc.

I think he's just one of those sportsmen who have a completely different persona on and off the pitch.

I think Glenn McGrath is another one like that - a snarly, aggressive so and so on the pitch but apparently a real gent off it.

Pretty good start by the Aussies but they need to carry on for the better part of tomorrow to really press home the advantage…

In terms of where this series is headed today is a day of gigantic importance for England. They have a chance to do well in both departments
and get right back into the game. However another bad day and things could quickly start to spiral out of control. It's not too hard to see that if they
go 2-0 down the wheels could completely fall off. It's D day for the pommies.

Some of their bowlers looked like they needed a rest already, so it will be interesting to see how they come back today. I'm obviously hoping they don't regroup and take a couple of quick wickets. If they don't, I'm not sure how they turn it around, especially bowling in our 2nd innings. It may turn out that the BazBall approach to batting grinds down your bowlers, particularly when a couple are north of 35. Given their injuries and Stokes' current output, it places them in a position where they either have to throw in young guys like Tongue and hope for the best, or grind their first choice bowlers into the dirt.

Agreed

I will give them a day & a half to turn things around but if Australia make 450, things could implode very quickly unless they make a very solid reply

For starters, Stokes isn’t anywhere near being fit & there’s no point in playing him if things spiral out of control

Didn't expect us to be at this score at the end of the day, although it was ultimately disappointing to lose a couple of quick wickets towards the end.

Hopefully we push on in the morning to 450+. Not giving England any free wickets should test their resolve a little.

Blame Green he is complete village proven now. Head got a quickfire 70 odd. Green worse than Shane Watson and the most over rated test cricketer on the planet. He's a test no6 yet not better than Starc or Cummins at batting. Even Roy or Mitch marsh were better all rounders for us.
