lol i wouldn't be talking with some of the planks in your top 5.

And as i respond to Tommy the Troll it looks like Smith is out.

 

[hineyrulz]

I can see Sri Lanka getting a decent lead now.

England circa 1989-2005

Lose 3/4 nil, win the fifth or sixth test. Pip hooray. Pimms o'clock.

Henriques as a specialist batsman worked well.

Poor Merkin hasn't played a first class game since November and gets picked to bat at 5, talk about getting thrown to the wolves.

 

[Pete Cash]

Haha i dont think anyone thinks things are fine tommy its an embarrassing loss but even in a dead rubber ill take a couple of centuries, didnt we only have 1 50 before hand for the whole series before this ?

It was a pathetic knee jerk reaction tbh

 

[Bazal]

Poor old Moises was on a hiding to nothing, really.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Indeed, gutsy backs to the wall stuff when it really mattered... Oh wait...

So jelly of the great Shuan Marsh

 

[hineyrulz]

Voges gone, Sri Lanka will get a lead IMO.

 

[hineyrulz]

He smashed that, good review. Poor decision.

 

[yobbo84]

Lost our last 9/112. Sterling effort that.

 

[JJ]

Great stuff Strays

 

[TheParraboy]

Lost our last 9/112. Sterling effort that.

Usually this series we have lost our first 9 for 112

 

[hineyrulz]

So glad we went in with 6 bowlers.........

MMarsh got a 50 that will see him locked into the side till 2023.

 

[Twizzle]

I dont think Henriques was picked as an all rounder, hasn't bowled an over yet

very odd selection

 

[JJ]

I am really shocked at how inept Australia's batting can be in anything other than conditions that suit...

Why???? We have batted like this since the 2005 Ashes, no gives a crap as long as we are hard to beat at home. Roads will be prepared so CA can have 5 day borefests and nine can have 5 day wankfests.
