Off Topic The Ashes.

and 33-7, Broad still at 5-6

 

Looks like Broad is off the bowling to preserve his figures?!

If the Aussies don't score three more runs it will be their lowest ever Ashes score

 

Get well soon, Jimmy, for ****'s sake
Your country needs you

 

If Jimmy was playing Lyth would have needlessly given his wicket away by now.

 

As Freddie and queen once said "another one bites the dust"

 

Braod with 7 now lol

 

I think England will declare at stumps with a lead of 300 and finish them off by lunch tomorrow!

 

What the ****?????!!!!!

 

60 all out, Broad 8-15 from 9.5 overs lol

 

And extras top scores for the first time ever in a test innings.

Edit: apparently it's just the first time in an Ashes test. I'm guessing it's not a common occurrence though.

 

Anybody got tickets for day 5?

 

Sod day 5, day 3 is looking dodgy

 

So 47 behind at lunch with all wickets intact, not a bad first session for sure

 

Do you think England are just about on top?

 

I'm going to stick my neck out here - and predict that England end up with a first innings lead

 

From BBC website

Neil Spofforth: Time for Cook to go. No adventure at all. Should have declared and put the Aussies back in.

 

Aussies bowled out before lunch on the first day of a test for the first time since 1896.

 

I wonder what it's like being an Englishman holidaying down under right now ?

 

That's 21 runs on the board. Austrugglia had lost five (5!) wickets in getting this far

 

Just back from the pub. Lots of unhappy Aussies. Calls for 'Extras' to be pushed up the order in the 2nd innings
