The Cricket Thread

Slow 1st hour for England, not lost a wicket which is the important thing, hopefully can build on a solid start
 
57/1 off 27 Overs

Snoooooooooooozefest so far but its a marathon not a sprint, Trott looks in good touch though
 
Brought this for my ashes trip

£20

155/4

Losing KP and Cook so close together was not good...

Relying on Bell yet again it seems, cant see Bairstow doing anything and Prior is horribly out of form
 
Bell out 1st over after tea trying to hit over the top, we can cut him some slack but these players are making some rash stupid shots..

155/5 now
 
This has been tough viewing today. Pietersen the only one who will take them on, even though he was a bit reckless. Even the crowd are taking the tinkle out of the slow run rate.

I love cricket and can happily watch it all day, but wow today has been so tedious, fair play to the Aussies they have bowled well, but jeez....

Yawnsville
 
Commentators just said no team has scored over 250 in 1st innings at Chester Le Street this season...

In that case why on earth has the venue got a fudging test, especially an Ashes test
 
Valuable runs from Swann and Anderson. Was staring a sub 200 score in the face, now we've got it to 230+ since Aus took the new ball. Still expect it's a below par score but could be the difference
 
238/9 at stumps, Jimmy with 16 off 10 and Bresnan over 10 too, makes it not a total disaster today

Good bowling from Lyon today, why on earth didnt he play all 4 tests so far, seriously he bowled well in tests before too...

If England could get another 20 or so then take a few quick qickets, it could be very much game on
 
Just really negative from England. Even if we don't win this test, I hope we go out in the 2nd innings and actually try to play some shots, not just occupy the crease.

How embarrassing would it be if we ended up drawing 2-2?

Based on how far below par we have batted, it might be the fair result. The fact that we have already secured the Ashes while playing pretty badly shows how much a better side England are IMO. Bell is the only player who has really batted consistently well.

What? And we've played well?? Both teams have been poor.
 
Losing a test might be a good thing long term, if we take this attitude though the winter there is a very real possibility of losing the next series
 
Good day of sport to watch today, Ashes, the footie scores, Spurs vs Espanyol then the Golf...

Im not moving off my couch all day
 
Well that lasted a longtime this morning haha

Right get the Aussies in and see how they fare on this pitch, ball moving around a fair bit in the first 10 mins, Jimmy could get some early swing
