Decent Middleweight as well.

He’s done zero to imply he could add anything different. He’s not even hitting his straps for the Lions

Jennings are you serious
Jack Torrance

Good player. Already has an England century to his name. Was going through a bed spell of form when he was last picked and had to face a superb bowling attack

He had a really poor season and poor spell in the England team I'm all for giving him another chance but not ahead of cook

Australia’s bowling attack is a lot better though
Jack Torrance
Striker
Disagree with that. Philander was as good as anyone I've seen with a new ball. Morkel was also excellent and Rabada has superb stats. These Aussie attack is quick but not sure it's as good as what it's made out to be

Yeah in hindsight there isn’t much in it, I still think he would find it tougher facing the Aussies on their home pitches than the South Africans on ours though
Woke up at 5am to check the score. Said to myself "I just don't want to see the word 'collapse'" - turned on the BBC App to see the headline "England collapse after Bairstow Century" so went back to bed 
Also, what is the point right now of Modern Ali? Not sure he is worth his place in the team as a bowler or a batter.....

Skittle them for sub 350 and we have a chance of winning. Anything more and the draw would be odds on with bad weather about.
Ironically if we did skittle them it would probably give the Aussies a better chance of winning too unless they could get towards 500.
Not setting the alarm tonight.

As much as I hate the dirty rotten upside down mags, and especially their chief, he's a bloody good player who shows that technique is sometimes overrated.

He has a clear and obvious technical flaw against bowling that will hit 4th stump time and time again. its more to do with him solving that flaw than being in form or out of form. he will always be in form against bowling that isn't good enough to expolit his clear weakness often enough.

Bowl them out in the first hour tomorrow
England openers in unbeaten stand for rest of the day
Sunderland break home jinx with 5 - 0 win
Mags concede 6 in London
Then I wake up ......

Shouldn't have committed a crime then eh, the f***ing imbecile
Superb attack? Probably the worst SA have had in a decade man.

This time yesterday the weather forecast for days 4 and 5 looked like bad luck. Today, maybe good luck.

They made light work of the Aussies whilst we're on course for a 5-0 defeat
