once again our batting from the top order is letting us down....

1 to 3 all need to change before the Ashes. The middle order seems pretty settled. The bowling stocks are still looking good.

starc is our top scorer in this 2nd innings.....

I am a bit worried about these batting conditions, nice sunny day and doesn't look like much is happening out of the pitch. Hopefully the new ball will still do something when we get it

the pitch has been tricky for both teams, we are lucky that if our top order collapses usually the tail save us and vice versa. Starc has played a huge role. Deserves a 50

was starc dropped at the end of days play yesterday?

Good start, wicket in the third over

Pitch looks flat and slow today

Bowling has been rubbish so far

 

[pillow]

1/50 and we don’t look like taking a wicket

 

[pillow]

Why the fuck did we pick green? He’s done nothing with the bat and can’t bowl?

 

[pillow]

Fuck smudge should have swallowed that
