SMITH GONE!!!!

 

[tomw24]

Smith and Labuschagne showing England how to bat when the new ball and fresh bowlers are making things tricky.

Our bowlers looked just as threatening as the aussies over the first 10 overs yet rather than play stupid shots and get out, they have been patient and are slowly building a score.

What were you saying?

What were you saying?

I was saying that you should reserve judgement until both sides had batted!!

Joking aside, I still wonder if the difference might be that their tail come up against an older, softer ball than ours. Even a 50 run lead would be big by the look of it

4 down!

Brute of a ball by Carse.

Head is leading something of a charmed life.

Sensational stuff all round, though I do worry about your sleep patterns!

Meh. Got up at 5am. Normally get up at 6.30 anyway so just went to bed a bit earlier.

Time to bring back Jofra to have a go at the tail.

Was just thinking the same. He's better bowling to left-handers too so I'd definitely get him on with Carey and Starc at the crease.

[One of yer Norvern Saints]

This test cricket malarkey is just soooo boring

 

[tomw24]

[Puck]

[tomw24]

Yep that carried. On yer bike!

What a day. Seriously good bowling from England and Starc with some awful shots in there as well. England have a great chance tomorrow to take charge.
