He believes his own hype, that’s the problem.

I’m hoping to wake up in the morning to centuries from Jacks and Stokes. But I don’t think I will be waking up to any cricket.

Is he still on about the curry?

Have you watched England play cricket before?

I wish I could save £20,000 a year. People in that position are very fortunate.

Yeah, we’re in trouble. Things can change quickly though 🤞

Hmm. We’re in trouble here.

Agree. On the evidence so far, they won’t chase 200.

Sensational bowling. As I said, you can’t judge whether England got a good score until both teams have batted.

Hahaha. Maybe if they were playing in Perth in Scotland.

Rain stopped play?

Average. Sky is much better. Caveated with the fact I’ve only watched half an hour so far, and I did enjoy the side-by-side comparison of Wood and Archer’s bowling actions. But Sky do that stuff too, and are generally the best in the business when it comes to sports coverage.

Any batter will struggle against that pace. They need a few more wickets before they start to tire though. We don’t want Smith and Labuschagne to still be there when the bowlers do start to tire…

Waking up to another England batting collapse in Australia is grim. But that’s how they play, and it’s brought them enough success that we should trust them to play like that - it’s worked more often than not. Also, we can’t judge whether it’s a good score until both teams have batted.

If that’s aimed at me, I’m not hard left. If it isn’t aimed at me, apologies.

Yep, I get that. We’re in an awful situation. No money and too many things to spend it on.
