Win the toss and bat first. Do we ever learn?

[King hit]

Bowling has been good from the Poms but our batting decisions have been poor. Playing at deliveries that shouldn't be played at

 

[LeedsRhinos]

England have a fantastic record at Edgbaston 1 loss in 14 tests.

Help us Obi - wan keWadey, you're our only hope.

Not related to this game but this popped up in my facebook memories on Tuesday. It was an absolute honour meeting the great Gilchrist

First time I met him he was doing a meet and greet at a local shopping centre here in Perth, forget what he was plugging. I was at the shops with my mum as I’d just been discharged from Hospital and didn’t even know he’d be there and she went up and got him to sign a couple of her business cards and chatted to me for like 5-10 minutes. Gave him an extra one to keep in case he was going to sell his house anytime soon.

Was a hilarious encounter.

I thought Marcus Harris was stiff in missing out for Bancroft. Though we get to see if Wade can walk the walk here soon.

Aussies lucky to get 250. I'll know in the morning. Disgrace.

Our batsmen still follow the ball, you can't do that in England. More nicks than Norman Gunston this summer.

Don’t stress everyone, The Admiral has this all under control

 

[The Mad Hatter]

I can't believe we are 4/36.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

I know wides are rare in tests, but it is OK to call them when they're warranted.

If it was a drunkard's face he'd hit it.

 

[TheParraboy]

Cant wait for Matty Wade to come out and show these pretenders how its down...

 

[Bazal]

I literally want Wade to get a first ball duck every time he plays this series just to stop this Admiral bullshit...

 

[The Mad Hatter]

You'd be surprised how entrenched the Matty love is in the corridors of cricket.

I meet him at the ultra tune that is just down the road from me. I went up and said hello and he commented about how dressed up in cricket gear I was and how I brought my amazing adelaide and ashes glory dvd's and the gilchrist book with me. He was more then happy to sign them and we got into a chat about that wonderful day in Adelaide. I mentioned to him I remember watching England collapse that day and cheering every run in the run chase.

Some sports stars turn out to be arseholes when you meet them but Gilly was a very down to earth and welcoming man that left a great impression on me.

When Warne thinks you're a merkin, you're alright by me.

Gilly, S Waugh...

Freudian slip?

Because he has Downs....
