*Official* Fourth Test at Chester-le-Street

[benchmark00]

I think its the perfect time to blood a fresh batsman. Give him (presumably Taylor) a Test and see if he can book his ticket on the Australian tour if he performs well.

Khawaja got dropped after a really laboured innings and the selectors sighted his inability to rotate the strike as one of the main reasons. You would think the English panel would think something similar about Bairstow at the moment.

Not sure what Compton did wrong itbt.

Yeah, but what if said batsman fails? Surely you can't not take them on tour after one match if you thought they were among the best 6 batsman in the country before that?

I mean, it's difficult enough to stay awake through a long night without having to endure this England batting like up. They cure insomnia.

Didn't satisfy the Yorkshire press I think.

That'll do, both of you

I don't want to go all Shane Warne on you all, but has anyone else got the old 2:45 am munchies?

Ah Warne, has now been told to talk Cricket.

 

[Burgey]

Surprisingly, Warne is talking about intent.

 

[Maximas]

Was worth waking up just to use #harrisface.

At least he's not talking about lasagne anymore.

 

[Cooky Monster]

Load of crap, playing not to lose rather than playing to win.

Englands battings been crap all series bar Bell, if it wasn't for him we could easily of been losing the series.

So I hear that KP should have given himself a chance

Well that's why I'd go with Carberry, he'd just be happy to get another Test at his age, and it would be picking someone in incredible form in all forms of the game. Also, he wouldn't let them dominate. Probably fail though.

 

[Burgey]

England fans in never crediting the opposition bowling side shocker.

You'd think he hadn't got out defending the way they're talking.

 

[grecian]

WTF with the Dawson Creek and Friends images/vids, am I on ****ing Mumsnet by mistake?

 

[Spark]

Hahahha what the **** was that

 

[Burgey]

Broad. What a spud.

I've always spoke about how good the Aussies bowling attack is. Reckon they have the stronger pace attack of the two teams.

Broad not walking again. Shameless.
