2.3 overs into the series and the Aussie commentators are saying how slowly our top 3 score at ! Ffs pricks

 

Oh ffs Malan caught behind off Hazlewood. Poor shot, should've left it. Oh dear Root in early again, just like old times.

 

Malan gone.
11 for 2.

Should we have bowled?
Looks like a perfect seamer.

 

Blimey that's it for me 11-2.

 

Picking Leach meant we'd already decided to bat.

 

Jeez Hazlewood is a good bowler ffs

 

11/3 Root 0

 

Aussies got England 3-11
Marvellous that!

 

Oh ffs. Root gone for 0 ! 11/3. Doomed. Why didn't we pick Broad and bowl first ffs. Hazlewioid is monotonous. Oh well just need a double ton from Stokes

 

Root gone for 0.

11 for 3.

We've got our selection wrong and probably should have bowled.

How much would Anderson and/or Broad have enjoyed bowling on this!?

 

Come on Stokesey, time for another miracle.

 

Stokes may as well go on the attack.

 

I had a gut feeling that whoever batted first would be under the pump.

 

A good toss to lose.

 

Stokes gone. 29 for 4.
Perfect wicket to bowl on.

 

Ffs Stokes gone. Took off and fine catch in slips by Labuschagne off Cummins. Well ****ed now. 29-4. Batting was a seriously bad move !

 

Well I did say 30-4 ! Same old ****. Gonna take a miracle to avoid a hammering now, every ball looks like taking a wicket

 

At least Stark gives yiu the opportunity to score runs, the other 2 just give you nothing.

 

Well played Hameed.
Pope living dangerously.
Both get to lunch.

Off to bed.

 

A little bit of a recovery from Hameed and Pope sees England to 59-4 at lunch. These two have both played pretty well, but will have to go a lot further to give England some respectability. Should be easier after lunch, though.
