[Essexyellows]

[SteMerritt]

Aussies chose to bat as well. Got to get that ball working and make them regret the decision.

 

[Gary Baldi]

Interesting bowling decision by them to leave Starc and Hazelwood out of the team today. Big first session coming, time for England to put their foot firmly on the Aussie throat

 

[Sarge]

The cosmic balance is aligned after our non-review for the caught behind.

Phew ?. It’s the most intense form of Test cricket there is.

 

[Sarge]

And a bad decision not to review by Aus!

Karma for earlier?

 

[Sarge]

Barmy Army celebrating Warner's wicket...and making him feel 'at home' as he trudges off ... DIY shops round Birmingham restocking on a certain product, apparently

 

[unification]

Bye bye Bancroft ?.

17-2

 

[Isle of Wight Yellow]

Good decision to play Broad then!
