This convo reminded me of a banner someone had in NZ a few years ago when England played there. It said "I prefer a BJ over a Root" (referring to BJ Watling)

Head gets Rooted.

 

[mrposhman]

Root always beats Head

 

[TigerForce]

Can Root do a Bruce Yardley today?

 

[TigerForce]

Now we're cracking.

 

[Redford]

Geepers. Green missed that by a mile.

Seems to have an issue with knowing where his off stump is when he starts.

 

[tigerman]

Well, well, well, look what happens when you pitch the ball up a bit more.

 

[TigerForce]

Reckon Carey might get a 100 here.

You're joking?

 

[tigerman]

Root always beats Head

Debatable

*smile*, England takes the *smile* with bowlers going off after a spell. Bairstow will spend the majority of the innings on the field.

I hate the way England play cricket. Cynical, negative, time-wasting, taking liberties with regulations, and yesterday they brought Bodyline back.

They’re a mob of Steve Hocking s

Too bloody right Willos !

 

[Redford]

Burns. Again.

What an outright spud in the field.

 

[Tenacious]

Rory Burns looks even sillier in the field than his hairstyle

Yet we continue to put him in catching and close in positions. Fools the lot of them. Both he and Hameed have looked like complete and utter duds in the field.

Smith burning another referral on a plumb Lbw. I reckon he’s bleeding he didn’t make a ton but seriously he faced 200 balls, he had his chance.

 

[Redford]

That was ridiculous appealing that.

Go the tonk Starc. Gary Gilmour style. Or Cosier.

Australia isn’t helping either. Slow as all hell. England really aren’t bowling anything exceptional, it’s a pretty true pitch, but we’re as slow as a wet week. Boring.

Bowling lines n field settings making it very difficult to score. Aussies aren't taking any stupid risks trying to score as it's difficult enough. Plus we've got a lead in the series n in this heat simply happy to grind the Poms into a greasy smear.

Boring.

Pretty sure they'll be playing hit n giggle T20 on another channel. Give me a test match any day.
