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!!!!!!!!" ). |
The numbers and names look awful |  | |  |

Correct. For England, with Ali,Broad and Anderson ther's barely 25 runs between em. And I think lower order could have a massive say in a result or 2. |
Peter Siddle's knock yesterday lends strength to your argument about the lower order. His solidity meant Smith could chance his arm more once he'd passed 100.
While Moeen is not exactly batting well at the moment, he has a test average of 29.6, so saying there's barely 25 runs between him, Broad and Anderson is a bit harsh. Broad usually disappoints with bat, but has over 3,000 test runs. Anderson I'll give you. |  |

Broad's batting has gone to shit since being hit in the face. He bats scared now. |  | | |

Great knock. I thought we were going to see another mid order collapse, may still do but Burns and Stokes have done well. | |

Well done Burns. The Aussies made him work hard for that but he did it with real application and desire. |  | | |

Proper Test cricket today and finally some application with the bat by England. I knew as soon as I saw UJ’s “dominos” post that Burns and Stokes would bat out the rest of the day. [Post edited 2 Aug 2019 20:57]

Well left...
Not something you do when you’re short of confidence - especially on a turning wicket!
Bairstow’s still playing overs cricket. [Post edited 3 Aug 2019 12:30]

Yep, you won that argument fair and square. I'm pinning my hopes on Broad to prove you wrong. Some would call that a long shot... | |

Anyone care to predict how this will now go? We gotta get Smith out bit sharpish imo. | | | |

Smith is a f*cking limpet. The key to this series will be working out how to dismiss him as quickly as possible. |  |
| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |

First session tomorrow decides the game. England favourites at the moment but they won’t want to chase more than 150. Gotta love cricket. | |

P1ss poor tactics by Australia today in taking so long to bowl short to Broad, and the same with Root wanting to fetch on Broad to bowl in that poor light ... Or did he want to go in early the way Smith was batting?
Congrats to Burns on his maiden test ton, but it's been a while since I've seen a test ton when the batsman could have been out nearly every other ball!!
If Australia are still batting around tea time tomorrow then Lyon will be chomping at the bit! |  |

I was present yesterday and will be today , having watched Australia 🇦🇺 collapse on Thursday morning I am just grateful there is going to be play today,feared it would be over in 3 days.
IF Smith goes early the rest will follow setting up an interesting 160 or so run chase.
Great atmosphere here yesterday and hopefully set up a great days play today. [Post edited 4 Aug 2019 7:18]

Looked less comfortable against Woakes and Stokes. He takes on the shortball; missed one from Stokes that hit him on the head, Root did not follow it up by sticking in a fielder short on the leg side. |  |

Fascinating mornings play so far, the match is slowly swinging in favour of Australia. |  | | |
