Ken

You called. I answered.

The money is in The Indian PL. If your name is called you are guaranteed a million minimum. So the grassroots are just thinking "what should I learn to do this". That's modern day cricket man

India are the same man I have seen it when they played New Zealand. Test match cricket is dead. Nobody is prepared to sacrifice for test match cricket.

BTW cricket fan or not I am glad to see ALL the familiar people here that I remember. Nice!

It has been raining like shite here. You haven't had a chance to acclimatise. I can accept that that's why you were shite in the first innings but you lot have put all your money in the ODI side and T20's haven't you?

I love you all like I love the football club but geez what is Rory Burns doing in this test side?

Yes Alex?

Idiots.

It finally fallen upon you,

I have said I want my account here stopped so that will happen. Enjoy your little love in with England. They will lose. You will see your side lose. Enjoy.

I love test match cricket. I love the Ashes. Sorry that you feel I have encroached. I will not post anything more.

Ya 3/20 now. Your batting lineup is shit.

Really? I f not for Archer this is the worst England team since Nasser Hussein captained.

Archer is at the moment the last Archer is your last great hope for England. Without him you have no chance of winning a game. Never a bore, the Ashes.

Roy is not a test match cricketer. You can argue that point with other players but he is shit. Interesting now. England showing some steel.

If and when England lose the series I will let it be known. Don't worry about that.

Looking for mother nature to assist with your chances isn't good. We have made our first error by retaining Siddle in this side. I think we can overcome this slight oversight though

I think I am on record as saying I am not a fan of Twenty20 cricket or the 50 over stuff. I have really tried to get into the Big Bash but just can't sustain the interest. Same as the One Dayer's.

Tbf I had not watched a lot of the first 4 days. I am watching a bit now

Lyon piling on the pressure now. Long day for England's batsmen.

Jason Roy gives away his wicket cheaply.

A very interesting start to the test match. Not sure who will prevail in this game and the series.

No excuses. Immaturity. Dumb. Fools.

Yep. Agree. I think Bancroft is fine if he can keep his form. Not on the same salary as Smith and Warner which makes a difference. Smith didn't take the first question in THAT press conference, he left it to Bancroft. Not lost mate, thrown someone under a bus...
