I see the company that operates the snicco technology have admitted they made a cock up.
The way we are playing I don't think it will make a difference to the result.
Our batters play 50/20 over cricket irrespective of the situation.
 
Shock horror we lost.... not!

I was watching it before I went to church this morning. I saw Smith hit about 4 fours in a row and then I remember thinking 'he needs to be careful here and not get carried away' next ball smashes it straight up and I shouted at the TV 'YOU MORON!' total lack of cricket brain, you put some bad balls away you don't look to smash every ball until you can see the ball like a beachball and not chasing 150 with 4 wickets left. Total Moron! So frustrated as the pitch was playing nicely and the Australian bowlers were not looking threatening. Dropped catches and brain fades from batsmen have cost us the series already. So fed up!

Watching Stokes and McCallum on news this morning, and both seemed to infer that Bazball was on its last legs.
I like Bazball in 20/50 over games, but it doesn't work in Test matches.
I don't believe that Aussie are a better team than England
A change in approach by England could see us winning the next 2 Tests.
Always the optomist me, probably the story of my life <cheers>
 
Once again the ball half of England team have delivered (till lunch, 72-4), shame the willow half of the team have let the side down so much in the first 3 teats, with nothing to play for now; except pride.
 
Just seen the score, wtf has been happening?
266 runs and 20 wkts in a day.
This aint Test cricket,
 
If its all over in 2 days, the Australian Cricket Association will be pissed off. 3 days of 80000+ crowds lost, that's a lot of money.
As I said previously, serves them right <cheers>
 
Ir was quite a green wicket, both sets of fast bowlers turned up... the batsmen did not. It had both vertical and sideways variation. Some of the commentators were wondering if early on a few dents were made as the wicket was a bit softer and that these are now the ones causing the vertical deviations. Anyway time and again England's bowlers get the team in a good position for the batting to force them into more bowling and less rest = injuries.

All you sleepy heads are missing the best of England. Went into tea on 77/2 needing another 98 to win. Scored 18 in the first two overs after tea. Bowler Aussies out for 132 earlier.
 
We won, unbelievable. Haven't seen highlights yet, but will make interesting viewing. Always good to beat Aussie, even if we've lost the series.
