Funnily enough you can still BYO grog into Lords. 2 big beers or a bottle of wine.

Webster with a 5️⃣0️⃣

There were some of us calling for his inclusion well before the door hit the selection panel in the face.

Now to axe Marnus the barnacle.

I don’t know why we persist with Green.
Webster really showing him up here.

Steve Smith is now the highest-scoring visiting batter at Lord's, and has the most 50+ scores by a visiting batter in England (18)

@TIGERS
This is a question for everyone else to;

Did you take a Tigers jersey on holiday with you? I’m interested to know as Mrs BF thinks I’m a fanatical because I take and wear my members hat and/or jersey on hols.
I call it spreading the gospel.

I was going to bring my Hat. But no, I don't have much Tigers merch with me. Next time I'm back in aust I'll bring a bunch of stuff with me.

Green hasn’t played for 12 months, had back surgery last year and since his recovery has been scoring runs in England over the last couple of months with 2 hundreds.

 

[Buttface]

Starcy the first over specialist.

AC drops a sitter to go with getting out 2mins after lunch using a reverse sweep.
Sometimes It’s a shame we can’t hook a bloke in cricket. 🏏

Great the have Webster in the team. The Aussie quicks off to a great start

You can tell Mrs BF that she isn't alone. Mrs J shakes her head at times as well.

May as well finish this world test cycle the way we have played the whole way through - our bowlers bailing out our top order.

Sounds like you need a 13yo phone technician. Take a few anyway and work it out later. I think you can reduce size from your photos?🤷‍♂️

How’s the crowd feel?
Looks like there’s a good rep from both sides with a few locals and the usual sprinkle of Indians. (They just love/live cricket and I love them for it.)
Looks pretty full without being packed.

We needed that wicket, and Hazo was stiff Bazuma had no idea he hit it.

Where are you sitting?

Was that you, the good looking Ozy that took the 6 catch?

 

[Buttface]

He handled the ball!
FFS, Don’t touch my ball!
