And we're off. Should hopefully be a cracking series. See if 'bazball' can work against the best bowling attack in the world.
Ticking along nicely atm, at work so only reading the BBC but seems Crawley has found that bit of luck he needs, always been a good batsman just unlucky.
Pity about that wicket just before lunch. Without it, I would have said it had been our morning. With it, probably the Aussies morning. The Frog will no doubt be watching. Can’t be a Brit in Australia without being a member of the Barmy Army.
Brook looks class. Just as I’m typing that he’s dropped. Ignore me. I didn’t say anything. No Sir, not me.
WICKET Brook b Lyon 32 (Eng 175-4) That is one of the most extraordinary wickets I have ever seen! WTF has gone on here!
England beginning to take control of this match? Next couple of wickets could decide where this match goes.
Would say game in balance. If Aussies get first innings lead then likely be a draw. We would have to collapse completely for Aussies to have chance of winning. if we have noticeable lead then we will win. Interesting game with contrast in styles.
