[The Ashes] first Test - Brisbane

[sonson]

Knew it like. Our middle order have one setting. Don't know how to build an innings anymore. It's first session of day two for fucks sake on a platform of 200 in Australia. No need at all to do anything other than occupy and keep it ticking. Instead they just try and wallop every time.

Enfuriating to see someone as average and irritating as Lyon win the battle of wits but I knew it was coming.

Even if we get another 100 here that's nothing special

At times, Broad looks a classy batsman. Such a shame his mind is shot against the bouncer.

 

[Sweeper]

Appalling shot.

 

[Jack Torrance]

Just bat to lunch man f***ing hell

He should be higher in the order mind wasted down there

 

[Laidback Jack]

Not even ganna reach 300. 8 down now...

 

[chopsfc007]

Appalling shot.

Can't blame him tbh broad plus Jimmy and ball wernt going to last

 

[Sweeper]

The tail should just have a dart now. No sense just waiting to get out without playing any shots.

 

[brandon]

Absolutely shocking hour. Aussies will get a lead of three figures.

TBF most said Bairstow's game plan was the right one. Walking wickets at 9, 10, 11. He just played a bad shot.

As possitive as ever

Aye, try and piss them off a little and sap some of their mood is best that can be hoped for here

 

[Sweeper]

Top shot. The three left should have a dart at Lyon. Get whatever we can in the short time left. No sense just trying to survive.

 

[Jack Torrance]

Shot lad

Hopefully a daft 15 minutes where a few slogs drop in gaps and top edges beat the keeper etc.

 

[chopsfc007]

Shot Jake boy

 

[Sweeper]

Great over. I honestly think England are bang in the game here, as long as they don’t bowl a pile of shite.

 

[chopsfc007]

Australia miss Watson ha way man

 

[NewAdventuresInWiFi]

[NorthCountryBoy]

Superb catch that like.

Can't believe Boycott saying it was regulation!

 

[Jack Torrance]

Shot Jimmy
