    The pitch still looks very green.

    ENG 104/4 at lunch :headbang:

    Crawley absolutely infuriates me, out first over in a manner everyone could have predicted- a loose drive outside off stump with zero foot movement.

    That was a sobering first session considering the Aussies are minus their two best bowlers.

    This was always on the cards, we don’t have the mentality to grind out Test runs. We lost our last 5 wickets for 12 runs, we’ve got a longer tail than an alligator.

    This England team seem incapable of grafting like Australia are doing at the moment.

    The mindset is all wrong. It’s all about “entertainment “. Unfortunately they don’t record entertainment in Wisden, only wins & losses.

    TNT’s coverage is absolutely appalling, why have they got the crowd noise on mute ffs ? I want to hear the abuse. My mate is out there & says the crowd abuse is off the scale <laugh>
