Guys it's fine. When we had them 7 down we dollied it up to them so they could bang on another 70. I'm sure we'll get the same and just about break even.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day

I should actually print and frame this as the one time I got one right. And I wasn't even trying to.

Cummins and Murphy to the rescue with a significant partnership giving us a small first inning lead. Once again our regognised batsman don't make an impression.

It's not good enough is it? It happens too often.

Im not a fan of McDonald's leadership and I feel we arent demanding more from this batting group.
While he's at the helm unless someone like Green hits some big scores we could start to struggle.

Is bringing in specialist fielders instead of the actual squad members in the spirit of the game?

Thanks for your calming influence around here.

Apparently Sky Sports commissioned a 14 billion sterling investigation into whether the second bail had been dislodged prior to Smith grounding and it seemed it had been. Same old Aussies, always cheating!

It's fantastic it's been Bairstow at the centre of it again. A better keeper would have taken it cleanly and executed the run out without any issues.

There's no way Ben Duckett's family lineage doesn't go back to medieval times.

Ricky Ponting thinks everything Ricky Ponting sees is an example of what Ricky Ponting said.

It's refreshing to hear someone so confident on the TV.

Not in the spirit of the game if you don't walk when you snick it, right? Right?

Definitely inbred upperclass aristocrat.

No way he is 5".7, more like five nothing

If a family hangs around long enough then anything's possible.
