If Basilball fails again, it’s done. They have to go for it though, as this is the time it’s most likely to come off.

The bowlers might be the issue. Archer’s not a test bowler (f****d after 5 overs). A lot rides on Stokes. The fact is though, Oz are very ordinary. Get into them, f**k em up.

We go again. Be fine. I’m not sure why anyone was concerned.

Aus 326/8 at close of play.

A bit of a tale of what could have been for England. Not a disaster, but could have been much better.

Ahh, the great debate about a batsman walking and the spirit of the game!

This was the second time England have lost out to dodgy snicko shouts. Strangely the Aussies aren’t complaining at the moment

Pitch is pretty much perfect for batting. Oz threw that away yesterday in true English fashion. No excuses now. Bat properly for best part of two days and make 500-550, or shove Bazzybollocks where the sun don’t shine.

Here we go again.
37/0 becomes 42/3 in the blink of an eye.

And just kept getting worse.

I dont know what happened to me with regard to cricket. The 1985 Ashes had me transfixed. Edmonds and Embury etc. 86 in Aus the same. In fact maybe I do know. Shane Warne. I got so traumatised by the constant shellackings that I lost interest. 2005 was an exception. I have zero interest these days, and I feel its a shame because it used to enthrall me. I think its all the limited over cricket as well. I just dont get it.
