England Cricket chat

[TightEnd]

you can also say Root won the toss and bowlee,what a crap decision. maybe,but what if the bowlers had pitched the ball up for the first three hours of day 1.They were disappointing

When does Joffra qualify for England? He'll be a game changer for our pace attack, also proving a genuine threat of runs at 9. Speaking of , I thought Cummins batted beautifully today. Took 40 balls to get off the mark but, even then, he wasn't scratching around and panicking. Very classy technique.

"It would be a seven-year qualification to play for England, not complete until 2022-23 which at the speed he is developing would deny international cricket of a gifted cricketer for around four years, frustration no doubt for West Indies cricket."

Jofra Archer has got to wait 5 years. Not exactly frustrating for the windies. He got injured and they threw him on the scrapheap. Phenomenal progress last 12months.

Root should of batted first, now England have to face
Lyon in the 4th innings.
As usual England bowlers are average away from home

Hope we can at least draw this one out, nothing worse than going 2/3 down and feeling like you have nothing exciting to watch with no chance to win

Dare to dream lads - The Aussies look rattled and have wasted their two reviews. Even Steve Smith put a catch down!

[HutchGF]

The Barmy Army are on fire - calling for reviews every time the Aussies appeal!

England cricket fans are more irritating than England rugby fans.

That's quite a feat.

Want Australia to win, just so those twats can't celebrate.

[baldock92]

After the first innings I've no idea how we're even in this position.

They've flown half way across the World to support the team and have had to endure some dire England performances over the 1st and 2nd tests.

I think they're entitled to enjoy themselves on the first positive day England have had.

Good luck to them.

After Smith had wasted his reviews - he failed to Review one that was out, then wasted 2 in the space of three balls - the Barmy Army were doing mock "review" signals after every appeal.

Thought it was harmless enough, tbh, just good Ashes spirit really.

Much rather see that than the Post on the Darts thread recently where some kid went to a big Darts night & sat in the front row specifically to diss, harangue & abuse Phil Taylor.

Also singing "Shall we lend you a review?", which I did enjoy.

Bizarre statement by Bayliss that they should turn down the stump mics because of sledging. Just get the players to behave like adults and we can have a more enjoyable experience watching you play.

Oh and if you could bowl fuller and leave balls miles outside off stump, while you're at it, that'd be splendid.
