Ashes.

Pride isn't strong enough to make anyone fall over!

 

It must make southern Jessies a bit unsteady at least.

 

Well of course, for southerners one sniff will lay them out!

 

So Anderson out and Archer in... let’s hope having at least the right number of bowlers on the pitch will help in the next test.

 

Probably 200 runs to the good for the Aussies thanks to Jimmy being crook. Drop Ali, well out of form, get Leech in, can't be any worse. Tell Bairstow he's pants, there's a ton plus runs. Throw Dukes cricket balls at specialised batsmen skulls until they realise they're not playing ODI for crying out loud, Roy's longest first class innings time wise is only 3 and a half hours!
Kidnap Smith.

 

Only 8 and a half men playing if you count Ali's contribution

 

I think the last point is about right!! Either that or some dodgy seafood back at the hotel

 

They're taking it seriously. Tour match against Worcestershire. Get yourself down there @Poptop2

 

Well played today, Pears. Was looking ominous before lunch. Liked the cheeky declaration with one ball left before tea and 60 runs in arrears.

Which one of these is your coat?
We have so many "comedians" on TLB we had to hang their coats outside the building.

 

Mines the body warmer,cos there’s ‘no ‘arm in it’...

 

England67 all out (27.5 overs)
Going well ..................... isn't it?

 

It was good cricket either way. Stokes bowled his guts up at the end. Average speed of over 87 miles an hour I think
Tommorow will be interesting but sadly I think the convicts have it in the bag.

 

Aussies bowled better line for the conditions and we gave them slip practice. Australia retain the ashes.

 

Aren’t you an ex-pat?

Even if you’re not, remember who your queen is!!
