🏏:engerland: England (and :walesisntit: Wales) Cricket 2023

I suspect a 500+ … and at best a draw…

I’m particularly pissed off with the people who ran on at the start of the game because of how hard it is to get tickets for the first day and they then wasted them.

Weather in Essex similar to yesterday except a bit more drizzle when took dog for a walk before breakfast

2nd over 4 balls of dross from Broad.
Review?
Carey gone LBW
351-6

Aus 416 all out.

England 41-0 in reply.

“Conditions are starting to turn in favour of the batsmen” says Ricky Ponting on comms, watch England collapse to 150 all out

Thought I’d better put this back in here :slight_smile:

Why are we paying Rees - Mogg to watch the cricket at Lords during working hours, that’s what I want to know. Can’t someone start shouting at him? " Oi Rees-Mogg, what are we paying you for? Get back in the office you skiving cunt".

Creepy gone for 48

Got him, stumped down leg! Lyon gets Australia on the board, and Crawley can tootle back to the pavilion, two runs shy of his fifty. The length wasn’t there as he looked to come down, the ball spinning behind the pads and Carey took it smartly to his left before bringing his hands back to break the bails. Fourth stumping of the series for him

Eng 91-1, trail by 325

Put a note on his desk saying “Sorry I missed you”

Duckett 52* from 84 balls

Eng 135-1 trail by 281

Tea

Eng 145-1, trail by 271

Duckett 62* (92)
Pope 32* (40)

Crawley 48 (48)

Nathan Lyon gone off injured, looks like quite a bad calf injury.

England 183-1, trail by 233

Nathan Lyon has done a calf muscle.
Being helped off. Looks bad

Poor by England just been trying to get out so Pope does.
They were trying to accelerate they said. They were going at 6 an over ffs

Root out for 1
But its a no ball

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

So Duckett goes for 98
Ffs

Set up for short ball and falls into said trap… Duckett you sill boy.

Assume that because Murdoch is Aussie its why we have to put up with a dominance of Aussie commentators giving it large on SKY… and Pieterson who talks like a cunt

Easily avoided by muting it and synching TMS on 5 live extra.
