Now Starc gone too, England looking likely to be getting a bat before the close of play
Tongue on a hat trick for the next innings. Took a Michelle. Excellent stuff young fella.
Gonna make my standard "Brook to get a massive score" prediction. Like the old broken clock I'm sure I'll be right at some stage.
152 from Australia, probably 40-50 runs short on this. Can England's batsmen take advantage?

Like clockwork one of their openers goes early.
Duckett still pissed perhaps ?
Bethel hasn't got a first class century.
Falls 99 short today. Neser gets him
Root in. 8-2.
Commentators just referred to Root as the best English batsman of all time.
Comforting to know we have one even better than that

The wheels fall off England's top order batting again.
Theee wickets inside the first 26 balls of the innings.

Do they what ?
Top three gone with eight on the board. What the fuck is up with these guys ?
Brook trying to hit the first ball out of the park too.

Spending July and August playing the Mickey Mouse Hundred has destroyed these batsmen's technique and ability to cope with pressure.

Root's duck will do nothing to convince Australians that he is any sort of goat.
Walter Hammond is. Averaging 58 in Bradmans era will do for me.

The same as Baz's team at the MCG in the CWC final
Don't understand why teams get the opposition 9 down, then revert to bowling half track rubbish in the name of trying to bounce out the tail. Neser the latest after taking four wickets.
