Root wins toss & bats.
Must bowl 98 overs in a day, each session extended by 15 minutes so lunch & tea at weird times.
Playing Moeen & Leach
Debuts for Olly Stone & Jason Roy.
What could possibly go wrong?
Mods? Find the right flags cant see them sitting outdoors!
Had free ticket. Cant go coz work
That plan didn’t work.
Roy gone for 5 after 2.4 overs

yes you can

Good because the abuse I got was a tad harsh, I’m a gent and wouldn’t be so reactionary to people personally, I am smirking though, we can’t play line and length on a green wicket, Starc will fuck us so hard we’d be thinking we’re in a S&M porno.
Murtagh currently 5’11
69-9
At least passed their lowest Test score at Lords 53 in 1888
85 all out. Some decent shots by Stone but an early lunch I guess
Is he expected to grow?
Lulling the Aussies into a false sense lof security… its a classic bluff
Indeed we also are throwing in 3 wickets straight up before we come out (maybe 2 if Roy is a success).
