It was my wifes fault, she wanted to watch something on the entertainment channel, and said no way England will win this.
Bloody women.

Great career. Participated in 5 winning Ashes series 7,700 test runs 22 centuries and averaging 42.

Tikka boo son.

Big Villa fan , as is Chris Woakes.

I don't follow the cricket as you know Den, but I knew his name for some reason when I saw the report.

 

[The Fear]

He is sir, yes.

A rather pleasant way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Series won one to play then on to the one dayers starting next weekend.

 

[The Fear]

Pretty easy as well that.

I watched the last ten England overs and the end result never looked in doubt.

Love stuffing the Aussies.

Apart from Baggies and Blues its next on my list of teams I'm obsessed with beating.

England struggling. 14-2 chasing 295 win. Just 14 runs from the first 8 overs.

 

[The Fear]

Great innings so far by Bairstow, he needs this, as he's been so out of form.

No, from the form he was in, it was a great innings.

Fabulous century from Billings. Got to hand it to Australia tonight, having been in trouble, what was it, 120'something for 5. To push to that score was immense. But then, their bowling tonight, sadly, was on form as well.

Root and Buttler... ouch.

 

[The Fear]

Tough start for England this... need Morgan to stick around and tot up a good score.

 

[SKEGGY]

Root maybe the greatest batsman who is batting to save a test match during a limited overs innings.

 

[The Fear]

Yes, as we said in our own chat, takes too long to get going for ODI

Buttler again, gutted as we so needed a class knock from him, so dangerous.

Too many out of form at the moment.

Hope the bowlers are up for it today.
