6-35 What a waste of an opportunity to wake up to.

An evil England fan will be hoping that last ball before the tea interval broke Smiths’ Thumb.

Not a bad session but can we keep the pressure on them? 114-2 at the moment.

Today was great, then disastrous, then good and now just OK.

That’s all.

Actually been busy this afternoon so saw nothing of the Aussies reply but end of play looks pretty even.

What I don’t understand and never have is if a player isn’t particularly good at one aspect of his game go and work on it and in the meantime defend that weakness, we’ve got ourselves out on probably 50-60% of the deliveries in this series so far and that is what is shit, poor technique/quality is one thing and we have that in our batting order by the bucket load so we don’t need to give wickets away playing the usual suspect 20/20 shot, Boycott is 100% correct when he says we should lose this series as we’re a poorer side, we’re making that a gulf when it shouldn’t be.

Because of the corruption/the way the pitches are prepared its almost impossible now to have a balanced test series which is such a shame as test cricket is the game not the others forms.

If you’e waking up.

Don’ read anymore.

Just go back to bed or go Xmas shopping on Oxford Street today.

Slicing off your own fingers would be more appropriate, and more fun.

Paul Farbraces comments is all you need to know about the state of Englands cricket, we’re unprepared and poor quality, why can tourists come to England and give us a game yet we can’t travel at all.

I’d blame the owners. Clearly asset stripping. Fuck the fans we are burying our heads in the sand and sleepwalking into relegation.

As I board my 1st flight I note England have ruined another day 560-6 with Smith & Kwhaja gone so a smidgen of hope

Until they bat again we know it’ the hope that kills you
