No! This is the Aussies, god damn you!!!

Come on chaps, show some dignity.

Quite right.

Yeah, you shouldn't be gloating at a possible injury, that's not on.






(Wait until it's been confirmed instead )

Just confirmed on 5 Live. Gloat on my friends!

 

[chegrimandi]

I'm very very very very excited. Didn't get to see much of the first test as I was away but can't wait for this one!

C'mon England! Lets see some aggression if bowling but good length and proper channels and some application and determination if batting.

I still think we can pull the series round but we must play well to do so.

Got my radio at work.....

McGrath is not playing? Thats confirmed?

 

[J77]

Still waiting until they walk out - those sneaky Aussies - you never know...

He fell to the floor after standing on a stray cricket ball

Shouldn't but...

Pidgeon Out.

 

[J77]

0954: England announce an unchanged team, meaning Chris Tremlett misses out again.

Collingwood in?

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

No, Collingwood was sent home yesterday, so it's the same team.

 

[J77]

No, Collingwood was sent home yesterday, so it's the same team.

How'd I miss that?

So that's the first unchanged team after losing the first test in ??? years.

 

[denialworks4me]

[denialworks4me]

ive put 10 quid both ways... either way i come out on top

 

[g force]

Weather forecast doesn't bode well for a full days play on any day. Draw seems the most likely outcome - I just hope we win the toss

 

[denialworks4me]

Not sure. Can't remember the last time we lost a first test!

 

[jugularvein]

right Here We Go >>>>>>>> Don"t Fuck Up Again England. C'mon !

 

[chegrimandi]

England batting on 'a classic green top'

 

[Flashman]

Don't panic if we're out under 200, very damp pitch.

 

[Mr Retro]

At work listening to “Aggers” and “Blowers” on the radio. Nearly better than actually watching it!

 

[ICB]

No, Collingwood was sent home yesterday, so it's the same team.

Giles is lucky

Gonna be a dicey morning

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Come on England...

 

[chegrimandi]

17-0

 

[chegrimandi]

[J77]

Ohhhhh....


Warrrrrney... should've caught that Warrrrrrney

 

[jugularvein]

SCARE ALREADY???

TOP ORDER WE NEED YOU THIS TIME. . . . .. . .

 

[holteman]

SCARE ALREADY???

TOP ORDER WE NEED YOU THIS TIME. . . . .. . .

this is gonna be a low scoring test match me thinks....i wouldnt worry to much if we lose wickets at reguler intervails as long as we get a few runs in between....250 might not be the end of the world on this pitch
