A lot getting ahead of themselves, media, supporters etc.

Australia need to bat yet and the pitch will keep doing a little bit.

The run line was 370. Way too high.

Leysy launched into England below 275 run line yesterday for easy money. Done the same here.

Expect ball to dominate bat this series, especially early tests with most batsman having limited red ball lead-ups.

Yeh, the poms bowling has decent depth. As does the aussies. Both batting lineups can be fragile.

Certainly a morning of close but not close enough from England. A couple of extra wickets would have put this game on a knife edge.

 

[Sintiger]

And Harris out for 3 (from 17).

I think that's enough from you Marcus, thanks....

Harris was always a dodgy selection. Lots of other options to open around the country, even Khawaja would have been a better option if we wanted to squeeze him in.

Marnus keeps on making runs for fun.

Is there anything as unfunny at the cricket these days (and for years actually) as the usual mob of Richie Benauds?

The Fanatics are worse

Stokes no-ball wicket was his 4th no-ball in a row (none were called) Not sure why the umpire didn't call any of them, or whether he told Stokes that he was touch and go.

Whatever the case I'm in hysterics

 

[tigerman]

It's an absolute joke that central umpires aren't calling no-balls.

I spent many hours standing in the nets to give bowlers a body where the umpire would stand and it it absolutely simple to watch the line and then see the ball down the wicket.

Just a complete cop-out.

Yes, but it's against the Poms Sorry mrposhman

 

[bigwow]

Rory Burns having a good match.
Perhaps he'll run Joe Root out in the second innings.

Warner dropped and bowled on a no ball, he's leading a charmed life.

Ffs. Come up with something different at the cricket.

Definitely his day, Hameed missed from 2 metres, after Warner fell over.

It would be nice to see Warner get 147

No, 148.

 

[Baloo]

No, 148.

Warner's not my favorite cricketer

Disagree. Use the 3rd ump.

 

[IanG]

Disagree. Use the 3rd ump.

They can't, there's a technical fault hence why its supposed to have reverted to the on field umps.

Yet people say they’re amusing and fun. No one can find that moronic chanting amusing.
