The Ashes 2019

Good start for England with the Aussies at one point 35/3, its now 57-3.

Currently 105/5, Smith is still in (was given out but overturned via review)

Who the hell passed Anderson fit....himself ?

Could well cost us the match ffs !

Solid morning for England sees us for 71/1 at the mo.

I wouldn't quite go as far as solid. I've no idea how Rory Burns hasn't got out yet given that he's pretty much gone through the whole range of terrible shots. We've had outside edges, hits wickets with bails that wouldn't dislodge an awful attempted heave of Lyons by Root which thank feck pitched just outside leg. But still 124-1 is decent.

50 for Root.

As much as the commentators were raving about Smith's innings yesterday, he's been caught cheating and shouldn't be allowed to play on the international stage again, along with his partners in crime Bancroft and Warner.

I wouldn't have been on my feet applauding when he reached his ton.

Currently 210-4, Burns on 101.

England 267/4 at close, Burns 125.

Just going to watch yesterday highlights, heard the last hour of yesterday play on radio walking around Central Park

England 374 all out (90 ahead)

Aussies currently 99/3, Smith on 34.

be glad when the stupid shitty cricket is over.

Looking forward to Archer v Smith. https://www.cricketworldcup.com/video/1230572

Embarrassing defeat.....all the first day sledging of the Aussies coming back to haunt us

Oh well, normal service resumes.

Selecting a veteran bowler who had not played in anger for a month was crazy. Lack of bowling and Smith wore us down.

Looking forward to Archer rattling a few cages at Lord's.

I agree with that. No idea who passed him fit. Same people who decided Jason Roy could open the batting probably. He got out to the most brainless shot ever yesterday.

Moeen Ali needs a crash course in how to turn the ball. It says it all when Joe Friggin Denly was the more threatening. He's offering shit all with the bat neither.
