As a test playing nation we are lost.
Wade, Head, Wade,Head - whose turn is it? We don’t know how to fill our middle order, or opener, because there is no long form first class cricket being played. Also our bowlers are soooooi lucky to be flying under the radar. Twice this summer they couldn’t take 20 wickets against a C grade batting line up.
Jye Richardson for Stark a real chance - but of course Richardson hasn’t bowled more than 4 overs in a row for like forever. So how do we make a comparable judgment?

T20 slowly killing the game.

Well that’s what I was trying to say but you said it much more concisely. There’s a first?

To be honest I only read part of your post as you were rambling and I had already worked out what you were trying to say. It was like when you talk to me in person and my eyes glaze over because I have already thought of my response and am just waiting to interject.

Wow! Thought he’d be suspended for sure. Slap in the wrist.
He was wrongly given out nibbling down leg. He screamed out ‘no’ then ‘fu%#’ then gave the umpire a full on gob full as he walked off.

I have a real problem with indignant young celebrities today - being hit with a lettuce leaf does not help

How did we all miss the chance to kick the poor Poms in the goolies after the last Test

Beaten in under 2 days by 10 wickets

I'm surprised the Pommie players haven't been whinging about the pitch ....but the English team doesn't have any Pommie players ...does it ....lol

The pommie press are the worst,they think the only "fair" place to play cricket is in England with an english ball and english umpires.Their team will have the odd token englishman in it

The only reason they have an Englishmen in their 12 is because they are so good at mixing drinks and carrying the coffins back to the team bus

WOW .....all out 143 .....looking forward to the mountains of excuses

Not often Cummins gets smacked 99m

Solid shot that in the ipl

I watched a lot of this today. Queensland bowled well but NSW really didn’t look like they have the composure for a first class match. The Bulls batting line up is great and they should win this by an innings after that poor first innings from NSW. A lot of test experience in this game.
