Warner being Broads ***** again :cry:

Instant replay. Warner must be having nightmares.

I'm not gonna say it.

Ok 150 for 1

Good pressure from England, this is more like it

All Broad sees is Warner's bunny ears and a fluffy tail. Some one get the Aussie opener a carrot.

Only two things are inevitable in life: death, and Broad getting Warner out early.

Morgan is a decent commentator, can we have him instead of KP?

Christmas themed thank · 7 Jul 2023 at 15:26

They should have reviewed that!

Just seen the scorecard, England (Stokes) kinda saved that 1st innings. All to play for i reckon

Ali is capable of batting more than 'a bit'. Genuine all rounder.

I think a bit is reasonable, his test average over the second half of his career is shocking.

Bairstow, come on how many do you want to miss?

Participant · 7 Jul 2023 at 17:20

Even though the Ozzies are chucking their wickets away, I basically don't fancy England to chase anything much at all on a final innings pitch.

"See ya Smudge" haha Bairstow can stay.

One was not amused with that

This series just keeps giving.

E: Want a different result this time round though.

Feels like we have been here before. No doubt we'll have 300+ to chase down and give it our best shot. Its a bit annoying really.

I'm English. My purpose is to forever hope and be disappointed.

A finely balanced game, could go either way. That pitch seems very unpredictable.
