This series will be full of twists and turns and I think it may be more even than many think.

So far this morning there has been... 1 not out - not reviewed - was out 1 not out - reviewed - not out 1 out - not reviewed - not out.


Love cricket.

So much nuance and complexity. 3 forms of the game all with different tactics, priorities and challenges.

I feel so sorry for people who “don’t get it”, or think it’s boring. They are missing out.

No other option. Not ideal.

Batting looks brittle, fragile top order and a cavalier middle. A lot will depend on Anderson, Broad and Archer staying fit.

Test match cricket - can’t beat it.

Gotta love Geoffrey:

'That might just have been clipping the stumps. But is Pattinson worth a review? 50% of the batting is still in, the other 50%, Warner, is out - the rest can't bat.'

Ever since my son was... never conceived, because I've never had consensual sex without money involved... I've always kind of looked at you as... a thing, that I could live next to... in accordance with state laws.

He'll be worth a listen when England collapse.

One of the great test tons. Look at his run chart today - scored everywhere around the ground.

Not sure how you bowl to someone that good. Best in the world at the moment?

He is an awesome batsman fair play. Yep, I'd agree, he is the best around.

Especially under the pressure the hostile fans put him under, I thought he answered them in the best way possible.
I’m not saying that he should have received a good welcome but I thought it went a bit over the top.

He’s brilliant. No kind of technique but a run machine and like a stick insect. If you’d asked England at 11am if they’d have taken 280 for the Aussies they’d have been chuffed. Ask them again at 2pm and they’ll be gutted now. Down to the batsmen.

Poll: Tory leader

A brilliant test hundred, especially the pressure he was under. His concentration levels are unbelievable, and the way he moves to his off stump its as if he's playing in front of another invisible set of stumps. Incredible batsman.

P1ss poor reviews, p1ss poor umpiring decisions, p1ss poor batting 😂 and Smith's brilliant innings made it a great day of cricket. I thought England looked a little demoralised coming off after those last two partnerships.

Everyday above ground ... Is a good day! 😎

Smith is a brilliant cricketer. He's laid down the challenge to England's batsmen now.
This will be close.

They've all paid their price, there are no lasting benefits to their cheating (like doping), he's an incredible (ugly) batsman and I'm glad he's still in the sport. Much like Mohammed Amir.

What I don't get is they are waiting on Jimmy's scan results I know for a fact these can be read within an hour by a consultant I expect the ECB is paying not nhs

Disappointing to hear those Brummie twàts booing Smith after that magnificent innings.
England fans rather than cricket fans, obviously.

Wicket taking spin already, Lyon must be salivating...

You've got to appreciate good cricket/sport.

I hated Warne and McGrath at times but admired their skills.

McGrath to Sarwan -

“So - what’s Lara’s cock taste like?”

Sarwan - “Dunno, mate - ask your missus”.

McGrath went fûcking apeshit as his wife had been diagnosed with cancer.
The Aussie slip cordon (this came from Michael Clarke) were in stitches - “fair play, good comeback, mate!

Don't worry if it was the other way round England players would get it worse off the Convicts

They still give Broad the bird for something that happened years back

They know where to draw the line. He wouldn’t get booed off after taking 8-50.

I'm off to Lords next week first day, is there a radio I can buy to listen to TMS without a lag/delay? I know you can buy those ear pieces, but I'd prefer my own ear buds, I've been to a few international games but never listened to commentary. But I fancy trying it this time.

I hate the numbers and names on the backs of the shirts.

Leave that to the gimmick formats.

Speaking of which, did anyone see the ECL matches from La Manga? 10 overs a side, short boundaries, crap bowling meant it was 6 heaven ( or as annoying commentator kept saying... "MAXIMO!!!!!!!!" ).
