Root should stand down as captain and concentrate on his batting and catching.

Or another career. :)
or thats it
End of Day 2
6/171 the led is now 283
THE ASHES ...
Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer to Day 4
The more you're slip slidin' away
I know a man named Smith
He came from my home town
He wore his passion for cricket
Like a thorny crown
He said about Archer
I'll never live in fear
England's chances of regaining the Ashes
He said that will disappear
Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the next time England has to bat
The more the Ashes are slip slidin' away

67 is a pretty good score.
Oh wait, this isn't the Golf thread :)
sixty fcukin seven
:rofl:
^Yep. I think a cobbled-together, half-pissed TD 'team' (1st eleven) couldn't have done much worse, tbh. :)
I would imagine the England dressing room is divided along the bowlers v "batsmen" right now. The bowlers certainly looked tired and well pissed-off having to resume yesterday evening..
True dat, and there's 2 more tests after this one too...
It aint won yet...
Yeah, our terrible display yesterday, and good play by the Convicts, has pretty much ruined the series.
Why the fuk have the selectors stuck with Roy at the top of the order instead of Bairstow? Obviously, the whole team was in one-day mode, and our one-day success has changed the mindset in a way that is not conducive to test match batting. F'ki'n terrible. We, as I've said since the start of the series, are in dire need of 3 batsmen.
The pitch/conditions yesterday were fine, we were just massively outplayed.
When's the rain coming???
4 nil will be great to watch. English convicts back in their place at the bottom of world cricket like they were for 16 years
You can have the fairy pants ODI World Cup title :3rd:, we'll have the real cricket trophy. :1st:
What a bunch of Bankers ,most of the English batsman i hesitate to use the word batsman in their case would not make a Sunday seconds team on their recent form.
But in that time old English tradition lets keep picking them because one day they will make 10 runs against Thailand.
The kiwi needs to bat 3 for the poms. He has a good technique at least. Dud Root 4. Bluey to open. Won't fix all their problems but better than current order.
Smith 3 for Aussies, Lasagne at 4, Usman to open.
4 nil.
Poms back to beer Changs and wife beaters
There's more than the Ashes on this too - the points count toward the cricket test world cup - so Eng are fuking up twice
Champions League, not World Cup. And it was been canceled twice already, so dont hold you breathe.
