The England Cricket Thread

Just need to get through this next 20 minutes with the replacement ball and get the sun baking the pitch.

100 up, walk in the park now surely?

You new to watching England?

I'd still be twitchy if it was 200-3 let alone 100!

Crawley is by far the most frustrating player in the team.

Comes in, looks at ease, plays some lovely shots and then is always caught behind, wafting at a shot way outside the off stump that he should have left.

This should have been a century for him and the openers should have been on 100-0. More than capable of that.

I don't like to say it but England look like they are trying to bat...sensibly.

Got a good feeling about this match boys

Brook wafting, why are this team incapable of leaving a ball

 

[Christmas themed thank]

Root is normally so technically sound, what the **** was that?

 

[Purdy]

Only a bit of pressure on Stokes here If he doesn't manage it very little chance England will pull it off

 

[JamesH85]

Here we go again. All the pressure on Stokes.

 

[Participant]

This could be unbearably close / exciting.

 

[turbot1984]

Brook's wafting it as well, oh dear.

I'm still confident, just not quite as confident as an hour ago. LOL.

We're just making it a little interesting. Walk in the park.

Another close game. This series has been really compelling! I’m hoping for an England win, but more so that it’s not 2 dead rubber games to finish.

Stokes is in, so this is England's game now. It might take a while to grind out the last few runs, but I can't see Australia winning from here.

He said for the third test in a row...

OK, but you've gotta admit I'm a lot closer to being right this time. I mean, look at Australia's bowling. It's about as dangerous as a crippled budgie.

Nope, first test we were much closer to winning than this and threw it away. I'll give you the second though.

Really this series should be 1-1 and this should be putting us in the lead.
