Tough choice today.
Watch foxtel and tolerate david warner's commentary or dodge the ads on channel 7.
The mute button is my friend today.

More control over replays on fox, and if I fall asleep I can catch up.
And we all know we will nod off on the lounge at some stage.

Thats not what I want to hear Ink! give me late 30s in the sweltering WA sun.

I do hope it is a competitive series though. I think it will be

I don’t think it will be boring.

What's the bet there will be 10,000 Barmy Army " fair minded " supporters
Waving sand paper and chanting " same old Aussies always cheating "
Hope not .Hope they try and win with bat and ball
" moral victories " don't count
GO AUSSIES !

The problem I have with Bazball is that they don’t adapt. If they find themselves 5/50, they don’t look to play conservatively, they go down in a blaze of glory. Can easily seen getting rolled for 150-175 at least once this series. If it comes together though, they’ll score 400 in a day. It’s definitely a double edged sword.

 

[Stevec]

Don't really agree with all the hype
Australia ranked no 1
Imo India is no 2
Was just as excited last year
Bad move by CA to start in Perth .Should start at the Gabba where we rarely lose

They have made some noise about moderating it a bit this series e.g. picking their moments a bit better. We will see if they have grown some brains.

poms should open the shoulders and embrace bazzball and hammer Boland all over the park.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Root needs to get a century this series, think he can get two

think perth and Brisbane will both be over in 3 days

I think they will go hard at Boland and Lyon and it could go either way

if hazelwood and.captain climate change were in the team I would say Aussies have the edge.

They were saying on the ABC there was a suspicion that the Poms would bowl if they won the toss. As if. No one wants to be the next Nasser Hussain.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

big advantage batting first

 

[Stevec]

Smith loses toss so we bowl
England averages
Crawley 31
Duckett 43
Pope 34
Root 51
Brook 57
Stokes 35
Not too frightening

How’s Crawleys average now?

Starcy the first over specialist.

 

[Stevec]

Missing Cummins and Hazelwood
Starc 2 overs 1 for 0
Boland 2 overs 0 for 14
reason Starc at 145 kph
Boland a lot of half volleys at 135 kph

Don’t be hacking on Bolo, there’s plenty who reckon Hazo should be dropped for Bolo, I am not one of them, but I thought you were Steve?

 

[Buttface]

Personally I would have led with Doggett.

 

[Buttface]

Go Starcy!!!
I’d be getting Doggett on next with instructions to hit someone.

 

[Stevec]

Boland poor 4 overs 0-29
Starc great 4 overs 2-10
