International Captain
Exciting plans today

Joe Root and Johnny Bairstow looked in no trouble last night and it believed that both players will get big scores. England Plan to be 150 runs ahead by the last hour, Ben Stokes will declare and rest wood and unleash Chris Woakes & Stuart Broad for the remainder of the session and they will get 2 wickets leaving the Aussies around 70-3. Wood will open on Saturday and unleash 95-97 mph bowling the Aussies will struggle but someone will get some runs but they will be just 80-120 runs ahead. England will rap it up on Sunday Morning

2-1 and England are the better team :D

Don't think he got injured that much either, from memory? Unless gonorrhea counts
I don't think he ever played two tests in a row and some say he limped off the field upon encountering roads a la Philander. As far as express pacers go, he played about as much as Thomson and Roberts and far more than Tyson or Bond so I think he did well enough.

What a dominating 118 by Marsh. Came in at 4-85 and after he left Aus lost 6-23. Lucky he was there or Aus might have been all out for 120

Or you know, lucky for Eng catching as he would have been out for 12 😀

Well I have never thrown coins at poor people and then poured water onto them.
Have people ever thrown them over you though?

You should give it a go. They'd probably appreciate it like they did in back in the late 70s. Bit of coin and a cool off. I appreciate it could and should have been done differently - they should have offered a towel down as well. But from what I understand the locals loved it, and why wouldn't they? Probably tripled their monthly income in about 15 minutes. It's a wonderfully generous gesture, and one deeply appreciated by those lucky enough to be recipients of it.

To be fair he's only a young bloke on his way up. He might feel more confident expressing himself as he gets more experience.
Young Shauno is almost a year younger than Jimmy Anderson. Still plenty of time for a comeback and career renaissance.
