Bairstow will concede about 6000 byes if they take his barge arse to India.

Taking his barge arse as a mode of transportation?

 

[yobbo84]

England having Australia 0/72 all part of the cunning plan according to the commentators.

These blokes have gone off the deep end, they really have.

 

[TheParraboy]

Bairstow wont see out the day they keep bowling spin wide

Looks like he is going to trip over himself each time

 

[TheParraboy]

Lunch 0/75

314 to go

[AlwaysGreen]

Damn you.

 

[Chins get the wins]

Great f**king start boys

 

[mozza91]

Really well batted. Still looks a good batting wicket. Keep going lads!

 

[Eelectrica]

Well we're showing some fight. Couldn't have asked for a better start. Big game for guys like Warner and Khawaja as well. Davey would love to crash Broad's party.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Two (or three) points:

1. Murphy's four wickets shows how bad Cummins' captaincy was in the third test, only bowling him two paltry overs

2. First half an hour after lunch is absolutely critical, and one of these in currently has to go on and make a century for us to be a chance

 

[TheParraboy]

Tuffers still being employed ?

 

[undertaker]

Bairstow perked up and getting chirpy, must be nearing the lunch break.

He's going to stuff his guts at the same buffet as Tubby Taylor

 

[undertaker]

Tuffers still being employed ?

I believe he's one of the commentators on BBC's Test Match Special broadcast
