@Donsteppa Godder didn't get it
Perhaps the retorting meme supply was running low
Will be interesting to see how Bancroft goes tonight. Warner wasn't the one I'd have picked to struggle most on his return.
@Donsteppa oi yeah nah first fucken one on the team sheet after Smith according to all the experts here. It is worrying, particularly as we only want to bat once

The Bancroft catch was great:
Astonishing that he could effectively drop and then catch a ball arriving so quickly to him.
Well balanced match right now although the weather may have the final say whoever gets on top.

Yeah, cricket is gaining some popularity in eastern Asia....

Ripper!!!
Coming around to names on the back. Still loathe the numbers. Maybe if they were smaller? I dunno...
@Paekakboyz don't think our boys have numbers in SL. A bit strange

@Siam yeah, is it a trial with the Ashes only? can't remember if any previous tours had numbers/names as well?

Yes they do. Williamson -22.
Picture in this article.
I don't like them. The names are fine.

We have it in Sri Lanka
I think it's part of the changes related to the Test championship

@Duluth amazing. I watched hours of the test. I guess that puts me in the not bothered category.

Australia wearing red numbers bothered me, for a bit. Looked like they should be England.

@Rapido One off for Andrew Strauss' cancer fund in honour of his missus.
Boundary ropes were also red as were the commentators' jackets.
Looked like an away day for Butlins staff
England's feeble top order actually overperforming a bit again yesterday, but still England were smashed.
Imagine when their top order reverts to their mean. Against this persistent bowling g attack.
England will be a shell of a team by the end if this series.

Bancroft would have been at home in some of our less celebrated opening partnerships. 10 tests, a high score of 82 and and average of 28.20 so far.

Oh please as far as mediocre test openers go he is world class.
If Bancroft is a Kiwi we would be saying Blair who?
