    Been watching all day and I'm fairly sure that's the first no ball of the innings. Talk about a worst possible time.

      @mn5 often wonder if a few don't go under the radar because they're NOT wicket balls.

      But anyway, sucked in.

        My thoughts as well. Giving Warner a life on 99 isn't wise.

          Warner should be disappointed. He only punished the Poms for 4 runs from the no ball.

            The lesbian is having an absolute field day against this pop gun English attack. Similar to what Kohli did to Sri Lanka. His average is getting astronomical.

              Yeah his stats are just ridiculous quite frankly. He's some player. Test average over 63 now?

                88,000 in for an Ashes Boxing Day Test with a ground holding near 100k. That's disappointing but probably expected.

                Game has fluttered along without much action the last two sessions.

                  Three wickets in 87 overs so far today. It beggars belief that Jimmy Anderson feels in any position to comment on the depth of the Australian bowling attack...

                    Isn't that one of the highest attendances ever for a boxing day test on day 1?

                      @hydro11 don't know exactly but being Ashes, I'd expect over 90k. Maybe I was taken in by Bill Lawry and Shane Warne wanking on about 95k being there because FUCKEN VICTORIA MAYYYYYYTE!!!

                        even Steve Smith was bored, so he got himself out. Worst series i can remember. Shit, benign pitches offering nothing to the bowlers, or the batsmen really, and one team completely out-classed.

                        terrible summer so far

                          On both sides of the Ta$man pal. At least some of the poms actually look interested. None of the Windies do.

                            I agree. Not great cricket to watch. Suggested this to an Aussie I know, and he went off that this has been farking awesome, and he's loving it.

                            I shook my head and gave up. Life is too short.

                              England actually having a good morning. 5 wickets, and the Aussies have pretty much fucked this up.

                                3 drag on wickets. Pitch has nothing.

                                  Oh fuck nearly forgot: Anderson just bowled a bouncer at Hazelwood.

                                  Can I get some tut-tutting and harumphing from the peanut gallery on here? No?

                                    Done. 327. Good comeback by England. Pitch is flat, but two paced, so the Aus quicks will be a bit of a handful. England have had a good day so far.

                                      My issue when I brought it up was going around the wicket to bowl short at the number 11s body, from ball 1.

                                      Which was Starc (left armer) to Anderson (LHB).

                                      That was my line crossed.

                                      A right armer bowling over the wicket at a number 11 LHB (which both Anderson and Hazlwood are) didn't cross my line. As there is a possibility when the bowler is bowling an orthodox line that the bowler may be trying a method, other than intimidating bowling, to get the bunny out. Which the umpire therefore has to consider.

                                        Career saving hundred for Cook, his 32nd!, and it's England's best day of the series 192/2.

                                          Cook and Root making runs at the same time certainly makes a massive difference
