That Atherton wicket was the worst LBW decision until this...

Watching the highlights back, these English umpires have had a poor game so far, but I'm enjoying Hartlepool's Michael Gough's TV umpiring

Anyone see Archer on twitter tonight

Think its responding to criticsm from Tino Best

really needs thicker skin, I think the England players get far too much criticism, but happens to all the players, he isnt being singled out

needs to toughen up, or he will not get through an Ashes in Australia

 

[Beau Peep]

Possibly. But wouldn’t you hear clapping when there’s a boundary? I know TMS have the option.

You're right. The highlights have no background murmur. I prefer it without, particularly since the background noise doesn't change when boundaries and wickets happen.

Aye just seen it. Tino didn’t even mention Archer.

Mouthing off on Twitter isn’t the way to respond to criticism, perceived or otherwise. Go out and do it in the second innings (if the batters leave owt to bowl at)

Just looking at this Stokes stat. Shakib is going to smash it, got the wickets already and only 138 runs needed. Has played 56 tests.

some going

Will he play again though?

Fair point

Fair point

He's an exceptional player. Gutted he did something so stupid

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Yeah agreed. Haven’t really followed this one, clearly.

Think he will play again Yeah

Good cricketer

He seems like a massive bellend, reading about his many disciplinary issues.

Still believe the draw is a generous price 3/1

 

[Boo]

I feel almost nostalgic about draws in cricket.

Yep. We bat 4 sessions and it becomes possible

Genuine question why when there is live cricket on and they have shown the watch along loads.

I reckon we'll win

I meant why are you watching it instead of live cricket

Because I haven't seen the watchalong before and it's far more entertaining that watching Burns and Sibley play and miss against Holder and Gabriel

Also, I started watching this and didn't notice the time
