His pull shot was so pathetic I don't see how he can stay in the team.

I spose he won't now that we've lost the ashes.

gently caress that ball is moving. England need to slow down, or they'll be effectively batting first on this pitch.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

Wood only taking 1 wicket in his first 3 overs. Good batting by the Aussies has seen him off.

Rogers - Old, retiring, broken brain - Finished
Warner - Stupid, loving retarded, idiot, dumb face gently caress off
Smith - Good player, rough form
S/M Marsh - Both are Wattoesque - gently caress off
Clarke - Old, broken brain - gently caress off
Neville - Seems good

This is us paying the piper for preparing concrete wickets. The pitches we served up for India were disgraceful. I'll give Warner and Rogers a pass because they got caught on the crease by good bowling. That happens. I'm concerned by Smith turning good balls into great balls but that's a different matter.

The rest though. What a pack of front foot plodders. Why do they think Joe Root is on the back foot with a baseball bat stance.

Lol it's 6/31 and Anderson isn't playing. It'd be all out for 12 if Broad and Anderson opened.

This Johnson 0 has been the best performance of the innings so far just because of his gently caress you leaves.

I don't know, I'm really interested in hearing the nuanced advice john 'Sam' "sammy" Newman has for Geelong fans as to whether they should racially vilify a black man from the stands this week

Wasn't always like this. Even in the 2009 Ashes which Australia lost the batsmen still plundered runs and made more tons than the English batsmen. It's only relatively recently that Australia have become so fragile overseas, we were whitewashed by Pakistan just last year.
