But since this is England we're all sniggering.

In Midge's Test at Perth in Ashes 10-11, we got Collingwood on the last ball of Day 3 then took the final 5 wickets before Lunch on Day 4. Still looking.

oddly enough, Princess was able to escape facing not Pidge....pity....crowd would have enjoyed seeing a few bounced off his ribs and helmet

Thanks God Johnson's one traditional good spell per series coincides with England's one traditional awful test per series.

WTF!!!!! Has someone been hacking the CrockInfo live scores?
Just stole a look & could'nt believe what i see.

you are forgetting Oz has had a vin ordinare test but for half a session

wonder if Cook instructed Chinhead and Trembler to protect Princess from not Pidge?

Aus took the first 6 wickets for 72 in the 1st session of T4 in the 2009 Ashes in England. We won that Test in a canter by an innings. This was Gump's 1st Test of the series. He took 3 of the pre-Lunch wickets and I was cursing that qunt Hildick for not picking the big Spiv in the Test XI earlier in the series.

FFS, play a shot at these short balls!!!! The alternative is a broken finger, or getting out. Perhaps both.

Truth be known, it's been a very piss-weak batting effort by all but Haddit, Midge and maybe Carbs.

FFS, put in a leg slip to Midge!!!

Some balls being shown by Sturat to a fired up Midge. A bit lucky there, after a shoulder edge hit him in the helmet and fell safe.

FFS, bowl at the stumps.

I bet that lifted your Friday arvo spirits!!  

England's first innings of a tour since Pakistan 2011 (reverse order)- 167 (NZ), 191 (Ind), 193 (SL), 192 (Pak)

I hope Pup is watching the way Trembles is playing the short ones. Just sway under 'em, easy as.

Horrie doesn't like him, so of course he's going to be the one guy showing some guts.

I like the way Sturat plays. He gives it, but can also take it. And all the bullshit about him not walking is just so much series advertising. Well done him to get a 6-fer as a big "fark you" to the crowds.

And Trembles goes to Rhino. 9-fer.

It's also becoming clear that Broad is the the only England player who felt determined to prove something in this test. The rest have been complacent knobs.

Tripe. 4 byes.

I fear it will shake them into serious action. Are they missing the Bionic Elbow??  

Good running to protect Jimmeh.

Damn, that's gotta hurt. A brute full on the fingers that bounced half way back down the wicket!!! Sturat didn't even shake it.

Hopefully this will put an end to the endless, boring, reverse woofing.

Absolutely ...how much of a lead from these two will Cook want before he declares?
