Yikes, that dropped dead early.

 

[Starfighter]

Why the **** are they standing so far back on such a slow pitch? I said yesterday they should be two yards up, and guess how far it fell short?

 

[trundler]

**** me that's tough luck

 

[morgieb]

So how many do we need for an innings win?

At least 450 I think.

So how many do we need for an innings win?

200 lead enough.

Jonny Bairstow's got a bit of this about him.

this happened from both teams in the ireland test too. it's like they think everyone is shoiab akthar or something.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Patto knock his stumps over. Stop bowling so short

As far as I can tell, Australian bowlers are pathologically incapable of bowling yorkers.

I've wondered this too. They really are too deep.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

The way they are talking about the pitch dying etc... it is the sort of track that Broad does well on late in a game with lbws.

Lol mate it’s dropped 2.5 metres short. No one stands that close to a test opening bowler who isn’t John Hastings

 

[Stowford Mess]

180 lead makes England big favourites for an innings win.

 

[social]

**** off Bairstow

Miss a few more

This is getting ridiculous

 

[Burgey]

How do you be 130 odd not and still look like you’re not off the mark? Been an extraordinary innings on that front. Good luck to the kid

 

[Starfighter]

Please Lyon, just bowl a little slower, and stop letting him play back.

 

[trundler]

Lyon has a job to do here

 

[Starfighter]

Hey Ian, don't whine about us trying to get the ball changed. Anderson has been expert at it for years.
