I'm going by the forecast that tomorrow will be fine for batting. Would like to have wickets in hand to bat then rather than being all out today for 25 more.

As I type the sun comes out!

Caught behind trying to leave a ball outside off off of Woakes.

Ball moving around under the grey skies and lights.

Tough batting conditions which Australia have faced the worst of throughout the series it seems

Did that seem weird writing that?

Our batting has been deplorable this test, we really don’t deserve to win

Gee we were lucky Wood and Woakes didn’t play in the first two tests, throw Archer in there and their bowling stocks look very healthy.

If Kensington is called “The Oval”, Headingly should be called “The Square”.

I could imagine, I would’ve read it back to myself about 15 times and still felt that I’ve erred.

Not that that matters

8 down and they need a committee meeting after balls 4 and 5 each over, over rate fines aren’t heavy enough?

Bullshit LBW of Murphy

That was going over the top . Ball tracking BS

Hows the Turd umpire asking for ultra edge when the ball missed the bat by at least 4 inches. :oops: :oops:
