The Aussie commentary is going to be tough in this series.
Malan's boundary was 'streaky'? A defensive push that never got more than six inches off the ground. They are going to have to get to used to a few streaky shots from David in this series if that's the case. |
By:
The aussie commentary are better than our lot though
But Malan is an awful test batsman |
By:
Weve done well to not lose another one so quickly

Start the tuk tuk
|
By:
Root coming in 2 down early...htehb ?
|
By:
We kinda knew this would happen we’re so bad batting wise theres no one other than Root and Stokes
|
By:
No idea why we didnt bowl though
Theres no way this lineup puts anything substantial on the board |
By:
Excellent bounce on this wicket. A little disappointing from Malan. Didn’t expect too much from Burns tbh. I think these wickets would have suited Crawley and he carries more of an attacking threat. Terrible start as usual. 30-3? Who’d a fought it!
|
By:
Hameed looks a walking wicket as well
They do at least need to tough it out a bit and not get skittled |
By:
they didnt want to bat on a 5th day wicket...sadly it doesn't look like there will be 5 days at this rate lol.
|
By:
I was hopeful Malan would bring his T20 game to the Tests.
|
By:
Happy to leave the first twenty deliveries in T20 but two foot above stumps (and one foot wide), in fourth over of The Ashes...yup, I'm playing at that.
|
By:
Shane Warne thinks this is going to a 5th test decider
![]() Hes been on something |
By:
could be up there with Nass's we'll bowl first at this rate...
![]() |
By:
This is 4-0 heading whereever
![]() Play it on the moon wed be able to avoid the rising bounce better |
By:
England just not ready for this series at all. Nervous as hell
|
By:
We were never gonna be ready though fiver
We cant bat and we cant bowl nowadays either |
By:
Fcek me.
I haven’t even gig the steak out the fridge or opened the wine to let if breathe! Burns has a log to answer for already! 30-3! Glory dayz! |
By:
Get use to this throughout the series
The Aussie commentary trying to sell a turd to be fair to them |
By:
think Eng will have their moments sonts' in the series, three dodgies in the Oz batting and the d/n tests can be a leveller if you get the ball at the right time...
|
By:
Hopefully brentford
We’re heavily reliant on Stokes though Stokes penny for his thoughts when it comes to down under , hes yet to win a test in 15 attempts |
By:
I hope 1–3 is not the new normal for England!
|
By:
11-3
|
By:
I don't want to tempt fate but I am going to let the steak get up to room temperature and open the wine. Tbf it is going to be achallenging day to bat with cloud cover all day.
oh FFS! |
By:
F me we haven't even made 30-3!
29-4! 40-4 is our usual standard! |
By:
just neck the wine WD !
![]() credit to the oz tv production on showing the no ball angle so quickly after a wicket - very good innovation |
By:
Hameed doing well at the other end
|
By:
Hes holding tgat end and getting us to 50
![]() |
By:
Yes! good shout Brent!
|
By:
yep if you'd said Hameed would still be there after an hour would have been quite optimistic
![]() |
By:
I do love the Aussie commentary trying to big it up as close though
![]() ![]() ![]() |
By:
would be a nice time for Pope to convert potential in to something more meaningful...
|
By:
I have been a huge fan of hammed as some of you may know! Glad he is in the side. I think he has the mental toughness and technique at this level. Burns still has huge technical flaws. I would rather have Crawley in to put it back on Aus. crawley is tall and will score quickly as well as getting out! But we need another opener fo sho.
Are they allowed to call us POMS still? I cannot stand these Aussie commentators! |
By:
Its not even like the Auusies are busting a gut here, theyve ran in half ar*ed they know its a foregone conclusion as well
![]() |
By:
a bit of sun-she-ine at last
|
By:
The short bowling spells are very noticeable.
I can imagine some old school commentators (Holding springs to mind) who would be critical and claim that captains need to allow fast bowlers to get into a rhythm. Not according to Pat Cummins. |
By:
yep I guess any that play t20 regularly are so used to it now...not to mention not having to work off the hangovers these days...
|
By:
" nice Gary "

By:
Hameed is doing well now to be fair
|
By:
Hameed has played very well.
His nick of a wide one through the slip cordon whilst his entire body was still a foot outside leg stump may be the worst shot I have ever seen from a Test batsmen but that aside he's done very well. Lets not pretend its been anything but extremely tough. |
