Match Day Thread Rising like a Phoenix from the Ashes

Not whilst Smith is still at the crease.
Won’t matter anyway Australia will declare on 393.
Won’t they?

 

Got to wrap up these last three wickets, easier said than done.

 

Good effort from England this morning.

Hope it doesn't turn out to be after the horse has bolted.

 

Root should score a 100 on this pitch.
Good morning from England

 

Being the eternal optimist, I reckon we’ll be 3 down before we reach 50.

 

I fear for our openers with Starc bowling on a pitch that's doing a bit.

 

Don’t talk like a …….

 

Going well

 

It’s about time we looked at declaring, surely?

 

Crawley gone.

 

I'd have taken an opening stand of 91 but once again, Zak Crawley ffs, what are you doing?

 

Oh dear

 

Thought they might have sent Root out at 3 instead of Pope.

 

Yep, threw his wicket away.

 

Marnus is an annoying tit.

‘Nice one Gary’ , every 5 seconds.

 

Especially when it's someone else bowling.

 

Exactly it’s well known all Gary’s are ****s too

 

Gary just pulled up when fielding.

Looks like he’s done some damage to his calf. Hopefully a grade 3 rupture.

 

Looked like he was crying as he went off.

 

Declare...stop ****ing around!
