FMD when are we going to know the eleven? When they walk out?
Head to open, Inglis in Heads No 5 spot, Webster in for Lyon and if Cummins plays in for Doggett.
Yeah!
Probably when they walk out.
So Neser in for Lyon, Inglis in for Khawaja, Head to open you’d think.
What a delivery by Starc to Duckett. Unplayable.
2 for. Starc has really got in their heads.
Usman can thank his lucky stars he’s not playing in this match. The ball is going everywhere in the air and off the pitch. How do you rate this pitch Uzzie?
I think I may have said this 6 or 15 times
Green just isn’t worth the selection
rank full tosses to a player like Root?

The Australian attack is looking very pedestrian.
Could do with a spinner coming on for a change of tack especially one with 560 odd Test poles, oh wait…
Wasn’t there an Injury Cloud over Lyon?
Besides mate,I reckon to be honest,I might have rested him for this Test.
It won’t change your argument and fair enough,but Harry had a Slash on 31 and he gets dismissed,…” you simply can’t do that sort of thing in International Cricket”,…..
Jofra Archer dominating the last wicket stand with Root. Lol
have to say that Root deserved to get at least 1 down here
a very good craftsman long overdue
Are we bowling Short Rubbish at him?
Anyone want to Ram it into the Blockhole?
very disappointing last 3 overs of bowling here
could lose the test at worst
Last wicket stand so far 52 off 32, Archer getting 29 of them.
Starc now limping. Shouldn’t have taken Green off when he had Root playing and missing when he was in the 90’s.
Fiddles faddled around the last 1/2 hour or so gave up 60 runs, all so our openers didn’t have to bat.Disgiusting time wasting.
Outside of Starc that is a very ordinary bowling attack.
Had to laugh at that Howie clown talking Bolands bowling up yet again sheesh!
After that you can guarantee that Cummins, Lyon and even possibly Hazlewood will be back for the Adelaide test, particularly if England square the series. Doggett, Neser, Green and Boland looked pretty pedestrian for most of the day. Smiths tactics of trying to slow down the game to prevent Australia batting tonight completely exploded in his face and handed England 50 bonus runs
Not the 1st time we’ve given cheap runs to an opposition tail,when you should be BLASTING them Out for a handful of runs or even none at all!
I’ll be honest,I’m a Scotty fan.
But his Bowling has been right off for 2 of England’s Innings,so far this Series.
Only silver lining to that Archer innings, is that it saved Aust from starting their innings under lights…well played Root, was long over diue an Ashes down under ton…I wonder with that gorilla off hos bsck, it may open the flood gates for more to come. .Starc certainly has a decent pink ball bowling ave…
I guess that ordinary bowling attack needed to be spiced up with Postman Pat, and the Capt Mainwaring pair of Gary and Hoff mate?
