Not a bad inswinging yorker for the first ball of the series :chitown:
FFS - Starc was supposed to be the weak link according to … Steve Harmison.
Gotta laugh I suppose.
Well at least we'll get a go at the Aussie openers by lunchtime :smileylaughing:
Hameed is enjoying some chin music.

Weather might hold up early on.
The radar says no rain showers heading their way.
Humid as all fuck though, and a warm 28C
You bewty!
two down!
What is impressive is England's early run rate and the confidence to drive the bad ball.
Looks like a nice covering of grass on the pitch and plenty of bounce, which can be difficult to achieve with a (rain) limited preparation on a drop-in pitch.
2/11
:doglol:
Familiar story :(
playing at balls you don't need to

Is it too early for the Aussies to enforce the follow-on?
Cometh the hour, cometh the Kiwi to save the day at 3-11. FFS I've got sausages to cook but can't take my eyes off this :)

Too early for a beer? :beer:
at this rate i'll be watching Eng bowl before i've checked in to the next hotel. Still we were always going to chalk off the Gabba, on to Aldelaide.
bit like the number of plastic Aussies on here :)Quote:

So I was watching the live game odds.
The Aussies started at just over $1.50 for the win, narrowed to $1.50 neat after the first wicket, didn't change when 2 down, but when Root departed the Aussies firmed to $1.35.
Almost like the early Pommy Batting collapse was expected, but Roots wicket hurt.
SWIMBO is at home today, so decided to give the early beer a miss and made a cuppa.
I identify as someone who supports Australia and anyone else playing England at anything :)Quote:
