Now I wish I'd never asked.

I think it's that bit where the Parramatta River flows into the harbour and you need the budget of a small Carribean country to buy a house. Unlike the nice areas where you need the budget of a large developed country to buy a house.

Appalling outfield catching efforts by 2nd & Purple.

Infuriatingly stoopid bowling tactics by Aus.

Seasick Steve, Stupid skipper

Mug Marsh. The put him on at both ends bowler.

We got the wickets but gave away too many runs with poor catching and stoopid bowling.

Very modest total for England after promising a big one. Australia should make merry on another Sydney flattie.

He was due to take one. He has dropped the most for us this series.

Seasick Steve's dumbarse tactics and poor catching has gifted the Poms at least 50 extra runs. His decision to try and get Mug his first wicket of the series was risible.

Poms have the momentum now. Hopefully Seasick Steve again redeems himself with the bat. He needs to do so given how week the batting is.

Agree but this was stoopid captaincy, not the fault of the bowlers*.

*Exclude Mug as he is the bowling version of swill for pigs.

You could probably hear me in the Bradman Stand yelling “bowl at the farking stumps you qunts”.

On this pitch, think he might bat for a week.

Not if youre a Wozzie.

well done Bangers

lasted 2 more Tests than Wally Edwards

Harry or Wetherald for Seth Effrica

Well Bancroft has proven he's not up to it. Imagine him playing in England with the ball moving around.

Renshaw, Burns?

Burns for SA I reckom.

Pity. He has a flawed technique as an opener. Still think he should keep and bat in the middle order.

Harry has the form but the bnlg won't stand for it (not that you'd notice whether the runt was sitting or standing). WA banned little brazen and fought against Ginger's selection.

The Weathermen looks a real prospect. I still think the Wrench should not be written off. Personally I'd leave gcspoc at home.

No doubt Tom Curran is a trier.


He’s also absolute rubbish.

JGK wrote:Burns for SA I reckom.

Has worse technique than Bangers.

Dues?

Must say the home of the Bloods looks pretty useful today.

I see Mug Marsh's bowling average is now 41+.

The Yarps will be salivating, batsmen and of course bowlers.

Are you allowed to use that type of language?

And they keep giving him any more chances and flat tracks his batting average may catch up.

Still only averages mid twenties with bat, so there is a sizable gap to make up.

Of course he is so talented is the Embee mantra.

well bowled Jimmeh. The gcspoc was not up to that.

Ooozie showing his class.
