still watching

 

At least we are showing

Oh well, 4 months of holding the ashes it is.

 

I'll watch Stokes for 5 mins then call it a night i think.

shit

oh fuck

Nipped to the loo, came back and Carberry had gone. Really thought he was heading for a century.

That's a fucking no ball

hope he fails a drug test

Having considered, I reckon 530 might be enough

Over how many innings do you think we'll score that many?

The rest of the series?

Gooch has a lot to answer for here, he's the batting coach how many times have we scored over 350 since he became coach?

Plenty, but dipped this year; why?

 

 

He has since remained as England's batting coach on a permanent basis, continuing this role for the 2010 series against Bangladesh and Pakistan, and the winter Ashes series against Australia in Australia. Double-centurion Alastair Cook (at the first test at The Gabba in Brisbane) hailed Gooch's influence on England's and his own batting prowess. Gooch subsequently has supervised England's batting (or 'run-scoring', as Ian Bell has noted Gooch refers to it) throughout their rise to number 1 in the Test cricket ICC Rankings. Prior to Gooch taking over, English batsmen had scored 6 test double-centuries in 15 years. 15 months after he became the batting coach, England had already beaten that total.^[15]

Lack of bottle in the team is the fault.

Bottle? Yes.

 

Application? Most certainly.

 

When did we last score 400 in the 1st innings of a test?

Vaughan's bang on the money, the old heads have all flat out given up. Once you stop thinking you can win, you stop doing the extra things which make the difference, even if you still think you're trying.

Amusing to see Sky's advert for tonight's play consists entirely of England taking wickets. They must be shitting themselves, viewing figures through the floor.

trying to drink enough to sleep through it

They've declared

530 in two days?

 

3 runs per over, we'll shit 'em.

Cook you cunt

Fuck off, you soft southern twat Cook.

Utterly fucking ridiculous shot off the 9th ball of an innings that has to last 2 days.

 

Fuck him off and he can take the ego KP with him.

This mob are thick as pig shit

You don't have to play at balls that are head height.

Shite.

 

20-2 and I've had enough.
