Too many runs scored and not enough wickets taken in the first session today. England will have to bat a lot better than they have done so far to get anything from this game.
I have no interest in cricket unless all day drinking on the pretence of watching Hills Plymouth in my younger days counts but out of curiosity I've turned on the Ashes to see what this day/night, pink ball thing is about.
First thing to strike me was hearing the 'barmy army' singing 'Jerusalem' which immediately has me marking them down as bigger nonce's than I first thought and wanting Austrailia to smash England.
Pleasing to see England wallowing in the shiit and they've also lost the first test.
I'll bow out disgracefully now, leaving it to the cricket aficionados, knowing I've added absolute fuuck all to the thread but I've got it off my chest.
5-0 here we come - pathetic from a team who think they know best and have proved over five days of cricket that they clearly don’t.
the barmy army will be organising weekend tours soon![]()
Apart from Stark this is a fairly ordinary Aussie side yet by playing orthodox Test cricket, valuing their wickets and being relentlessly accurate with the ball they have proved far too good for the Bazballers who’ve become a laughing stock not just in Australia but England too.
McCullum needs to move on at the end of the series and the players need to re-learn the principles of Test cricket that the Aussies adhere to so well.
England are an absolute laughing stock.
Too many silly bastards believing all the hype again, how this team will smash a seemingly depleted Aussie side.
The team just cannot apply themselves properly to play test cricket, classic example is Ducket. He needs to show something special the rest of this match as his batting and catching have been midweek league stuff.
The only guy I feel for is Jofra Archer though even he bowled erratically with far too many short balls just being flicked over the wicket keeper.
Understandable I suppose though after seeing how many times he was let down by his teammates who looked like they'd been on the piss all week. They just did not want to be out there wilting in the sunshine.
I'm with Jordi, a team of arrogant over privileged tossers.
I'm off back to bed!
The England fans are so cringey.

Pathetic is the word. Thank goodness for the city today because I was winding myself up watching the 5th day of this shambles of a series. Utter arrogance from captain and coach. I am so bored with the rhetoric coming out of the England camp, as exemplified by trescothick after play today. Surely the end for bazball.
Asa Tribe is currently 107 not out for the Lions.
