Someone or an Aussie? Statistically someone usually gets a big score in 4 full innings. Had to have a change, and averaging 100 is going to put you at the top of the queue. Taylor is probably the only other one in with a sniff, though we all know that KP should've been the one recalled not Bairstow.
Optimistic as ever |

Why the hell didn't Buttler review?! Would've been given not out! D'oh! David Lloyd on commentary's immediate reaction was "that's plumb. Don't waste a review on it" and the other commentators also thought it looked out. Buttler did discuss it with Ali so they obviously both thought it was out but as one of the commentators said "A more experienced player would have reviewed it anyway on the basis that he was the last recognized batsman and they had two reviews to waste" We didn't use any in the end. 20 reviews in the series so far, 19 have been turned down.

I just get the feeling that Australia will set England 250+ and we will blow it !

He's an entertainer....A very good one.....But his nickname of the 'loon' is only half in jest.

I'll be happy if we can have them 6 down tonight leading by less than 130ish.

To be fair to Bumble everyone on TMS thought it was out too.

Great toss to win. Fully expect England to put their foot on our throat here. First session could dictate the direction of this series.
I agree.....If England get a lead of 150+ it's going to have to take some comeback in the third innings. It's possible though that the Aussies could run through us though and keep it to about fifty. That would be quite a game on.....And a finish probably inside three days. I'm hoping for the big lead obviously. Yeah, I know. Was shocked when he batted. I guess he's hoping by the 4th innnings the pitch is will be rat sh*t. I agree fully, 150 lead on this pitch would be like gold. I truly believe the first hour or so could possible have a major influence on where this series heads.
What's all this about you lot treating the Abbo's so badly? Poor old Sydney Swanns!
