At least Roy managed to contribute something this time.

I'm shit sick of watching Steve Smith bat on and on and on........Think England will have to hire the services of a hitman to stop him from scoring runs. Doesnt help when he is dropped, and later caught off a no-ball bowled by a spinner. FFS.

I’ve changed my mind about his 12 month ban being sufficient

Should have been 18 month

LOL! Would probably have this series in the bag by now, if it had of been. Interesting last day. England 365 runs to win Australia require 8 wickets. Got to be the Aussies I think. Unless Sir Ben can pull off another miracle, and be on his way to sainthood.

No excuses we were shit apart from a few sessions
Luckily warner was shit too otherwise we’d have got a right kicking

Well Done, Mitch



Mitchell Marsh: Australia all-rounder to miss start of Test summer after punching wall & breaking hand



Showing great leadership qualities there. Bloody idiot

6 TO 8 weeks out - What a dickhead!

Rather disappointing that all our English friends have not congratulated the greatest-ever Test cricket nation returning to the #1 Test team position


Now I ain't one to skite but look at these figures




Number One in Test Cricket









Not only that but they have the best Test batsman and bowler in the world as well. Plus three in the top 10 in both categories












Even more amazingly and probably for the first time in the history of the game, they have the top 4 Test batting averages to boot. Look how far Kohli is behind and he is the next best of the current players













All joking aside, this bloke deserves a bloody medal.









Thrown in at the deep end when the shit hit the fan a couple of years ago in South Africa, he has turned everything around. Who would have thought that? There are better batsmen/wicketkeepers in Australia but with his quiet, unassuming style (gentlemanly?) he has brought them back from the brink. I hope he stays on for another season or two.

Managed to watch a fair bit of this Test. It was pretty good stuff and nearly got to be a cliffhanger, but not quite. Windies deserved their win and kudos to them for coming to England and getting International cricket kick started again. Got all the makings of a nice tight 3 Test series.

The Pakistan series has started well too and now there is a white ball series to look forward to in a few weeks time
