Charging? He advanced about two to three paces, let's not go overboard.

Advancing then, its still aggressive.

Which is fine, it was a 70 over old ball. Root was unlucky, personally, I have no issue with his application there.

 

[Ossie'sAardvark]

I have to admit, while this ball isnt moving , play your strokes. It doesnt look to uncomfortable out there.

Getting interesting now. Aussies starting to look a bit desperate/ragged and runs are flowing.

Fucking root

But doing well and dare I say it we are looking comfy

Beat the damn Aussies

I warned you he can’t convert 50s

 

[JCRD]

Bairstow and stokes... The guys you need to hit them...

True you were right but 77 and getting a bit of stability and the partnership with denly has set us up well...

I mean still won't be easy but it's doable from the 15-2 yesterday

Pointing made a good point about it being a good situation for buttler when he comes in. He has won many ODI’s in similar situations and should suit his game

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

Stokes I love you but this is test cricket. 6s are banned.

 

[Dinghy]

We could do this you know... ?

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

Please, please nothing stupid against Lyon...

 

[JCRD]

I really hate Lyon for some reason. Just strikes me as an absolute ****... But he does scare me.

It's his face. His face.

Looks like the kind of bloke who'd approach you on a petrol station forecourt, wanting to 'borrow' a tenner as his cars run out of petrol with his wife in labour in the back.

Ive always thought he looks a bit like Mr Burns .

 

[dondo]

This is getting interesting ?
Still make the Aussies favourites but whatever happens we have made a game of it

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

Just realised I’ll be sat on a tube for 40 minutes with absolutely no access to the outside world. Pray for my sanity.

Bit late for that, I'll do my best though.

Looks like the kind of bloke who'd approach you on a petrol station forecourt, wanting to 'borrow' a tenner as his cars run out of petrol with his wife sister in labour in the back in Texas.

Fixed that for you

Apologies in advance to the resident Texans here

 

[Ossie'sAardvark]

Thank god, no noise.
