    So, Aussies go up the rankings when playing WI at home.

    Seems pretty much inevitable.

    79/1

    Well, that looked plumb lbw to Marais and Athers.

    That was good enough for me.

    Turned out on review that Pope had got glove on it, not pad.

    Looks like filthy pollution.

    Why are the playing these games.

    West Indies are crap now.

    I reckon I could bat against their bowlers and score a decent total.

    Gone are the days of the 70's and early eighties when they were unbeatable.

    That is true.

    I understand the American Basketball league (or association or whatever it is) cost WI most of their best athletes.

    Lovely catch by Jimmy for Leach's 100th wicket.

    Pakistan not exactly pulling up trees.

    158/4.

    Too bad Root couldn't spread his roots with a better innings.

    Anyway the Aussies are considering the follow on option against the Windies.

    And all without their 2 best bowlers and captain.

    It's funny how obsessed you are with Root. He appears to be living rent free in your head.

    I think that's why they chose not to...

    Crawley gone cheaply again.

    Not as funny as it will be for another one of you fellow Pommy cvnts who I will catch up with who owes me money from a bet I had with him 8 years ago.

    He wagered on Root to have better averages than Smith two Ashes test series ago and has been hiding from me ever since.

    And Root is hopeless and you have to steal another Kiwi, Saffa or Aussie into your team to be competitive.

    Oh dear, sounds like Loy Toy is quaking in his convict boots and indulging in a bit of straw clutching.

    A lead of 281 with five wickets remaining and it's only the end of day two.

    England's to lose.

    ^ A little optimistic. I think the game could still go either way.

    Maybe you do, but England already have a lead of more than Pakistan scored in the first innings, on a wicket that is clearly deteriorating.

    Yeah, it will take a massive derailment to halt an historic series win for England from here.

    I'm hoping brook gets another ton and that they bat themselves back in rather than out first thing this morning.

    That Brook seems to be very talented and should become a real top class batting force.

    Much the same as Travis Head for Australia.

    Windies 6 for 49 and about 10,000 runs behind.

    To be fair the Aussies are bowling unplayable deliveries at the moment.

    Well done Harry Brook on a second test century this series. Eng looking for 400? plenty of time left, not even half way yet.
