Need to get shot of Warner

He seems to be whacking it all over the shop

 

[The Octagon]

Finny!

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

could be a 3 day match at this rate!

Still 40 overs left today. Could be done in two.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Poor Rogers, must be out there wondering why none of his mates want to stick around

Looking likely!

Rogers is out!

 

[Lord Camomile]

Rogers is out!

Warner, fucking Warner

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Warner well on course to beat the oldest record here. He has 75% of their runs so far.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Fucking hell, I leave the cricket for an hour and the convicts have lost five wickets. This won't even last three days.

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Warner well on course to beat the oldest record here. He has 75% of their runs so far.

...and he's not getting any more

Bugger, the stream I was watching just got nobbled. Anyone got a better one?

Enjoying giving the aussie father in law updates as we have a beer on our family holiday in France.

Hope Anderson is not out for too long.

 

[DrRingDing]

If Anderson is out the next test I still have faith in Broad, Finn & Wood. Stokes is likely to 'turn up to the party' soon enough.

Easy to say when it's not you facing that kind of bowling 2nd ball in...

The instinct is to raise the hands to protect yourself. The training is to lower the hands ti nor get out. Michael Hussey never got out like that.

You'd be hard pressed to find many batsmen who didn't get out gloving a nasty short ball aimed at their chin at least a couple of times in their career.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Tbh these are two ordinary batting sides. But I'm chuffed to bits for Steven finn

Show me Michael hussey

 

[Lo Siento.]

Show me Michael hussey

Not sure how I'd go about finding that... If he never got out that way, I reckon that'd make him unique amongst batsmen.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Sounds harsh but the training is to take the pain.

Not unique but very good

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Point is that you have to train it.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Looking for highlights online. c5 not working everything else appears blocked.

Way to kill cricket, fuckers.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

What I have seen shows me bits.

Smith's dismissal? Ever see the modern greats - Lara, Tendulkar, Kallis, Ponting, Sangakkara - ever get out like that?]

This has been a dismal test match for batting. England looking like they might just get away with it. But these are two fine china-fragile sides.

Get Brian Close in as batting coach

 

[kabbes]

Or Rip Torn. If you can dodge wrenches, you can dodge bouncers.

Spot on. Lyth, Bell, Root spring to mind for us.....and well, most of their top order in both innings for them.

I also agree on England 'just' getting away with it. Everyone is getting a bit carried away - hubris. How will everyone's backsides be if their tail gives them over a hundred run lead???
