1-nil
Have been drinking in Tokyo and seen none of this live. What a fucking bizarre outing.
Definitely a major mistake to play the first test in Perth
When the weather fucks Brisbane, we'll see if I'm right

Just watched Day 2 highlights.
Fuck me dead.
If you put yourself in the mind of an England fan for a few minutes, you'd be incredulous at the way some of your blokes got out.
Then you'd be dumbstruck by Travis Head going apeshit with the timber to cruise to a win.

This is going to be a long series of short matches. Glad they didn’t bother playing any proper warm up matches. Shameful
They clearly took no notice of the BCs last tour to Australia. No warm up games, got ground up in first test in Perth and never recovered

No tours games isn’t an excuse for batting like a bunch of beach cricketers trying to hit every ball into the surf.
I’ve played more watchful innings at Mahia….

Starc. Fucked England's top order both innings.
If our batting showed any patience whatsoever on Day 1 we win by an innings
Still destructive, even after all this time
Still have nightmares about him fucking us in the CWC final. Not only is he an outstanding bowler he's got a little bit of menace in him which is great

Our Geoffrey is still with us and I was right. He's furious! He's in his mid-eighties, but he's hauled himself from his recliner to the writing table to pen a critique!

Awesome article. It’s even better if you read it out loud in a Yorkshire accent if you can do one.
Everything he says is right.

I’d hope like fuck McCullum never gets anywhere near coaching the Black Caps.
We have our own regular humiliation from time to time, we don’t need what ever the fuck this fetish he and Stokes love to engage inEveryone fell in love with Bazball. Maybe bit so much now
