Hmmm 4 fa. Anyone got something to hold us up. We're collapsing. Here comes our greatest number 6 batsman. We need these to make at least a 100 runs minimum.

Are you saying Australia might lose?
Ive missed the last day and a half, I stopped watching after over 3 on Day 1 when you told us the game was over with Cook's dismissal.

Stay tuned for many more pearls of wisdom to come.

They probably will, I was thinking of putting money on a lesser known to be top scorer, it will probably be Paine just to piss us all off.

Do you think we've changed our batting style? What I mean is. Have we lost the ability to bat aggressively? Warner looks to have lost his sense of aggressiveness.

Didn't seem to bother the Poms. They were 1 for 143 at one stage. What are we now?? 4 for 86. If what you say is true. Explain to me how the England batters succeeded and ours are failing??

Allow me Daisy,

because they were patient, batted to a plan and to the conditions. Of those POMS that got in they made sure they went on with it to an extent.

They didn't try to force the pace and bat aggressively, they batted as if it was a test match. They batted with their heads.
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

Woakes is a dead set weak link for England. His bowling is always expensive and he can't bat. I've never known what their selectors see in him.

He had an unbelievable english summer in 2016 was our best bowler by far. He was injured a fair bit in 2017 but he deserves a go.

Selectors have got 2/3 at the moment

Resisted the earge to go with Sayers over either Lyon or Cummins who were arguably our two best first innings bowlers

Marsh playing a great innings when they could have gone for many others

Bancroft a miss so far!!
