More drops again today.

I'm praying for rain as I have tickets to Sunday and Monday

What an awful morning.

Bob might buy them.

What an awful morning.

Too depressing. Not even a contest. Might as well just hand the Aussies the match, the series, and quit the pretence.

 

[homer]

Yeah, shit ain’t it…….

 

[bocadillo]

Bob might buy them.

Pardon!

 

[homer]

Got them exactly where they wanted them, and now ****ing it up completely with some truly rank bowling

 

[taupe]

Getable but jeez it should have been less.

Now please don't bat like total ****s and try to win it by lunch tomorrow. You have time, ****ing loads of it.

 

[tedfoxxx]

Couple of iffy moments but a solid end to the day with the bat. Set up nicely for Stokes to to do his thing tomorrow afternoon.

There's rain forecast for tomorrow afternoon, and most of Monday. So there might not be '****ing loads' of time.

[homer]

They’re not actually going to **** this up, are they……

 

[taupe]

They’re not actually going to **** this up, are they……

Jeez, don't say that!

Did you type that before Root went?

Edit: tbh, at first, I read that the other way. As if you were being positive.

 

[taupe]

I'm afraid I just cannot be confident, for years I've been like it. I really don't know what it'll take to turn me around. A humiliating collapse (particularly against Aus) seems to haunt me, I cannot have faith, ever.

 

[taupe]

See what I mean

 

[homer]

D'oh...

 

[camberwell fox]

Double d’oh

 

[homer]

Seriously what is the ****ing point of Jonny Bairstow

He drops catch after catch after catch and bats like a complete ****

 

[taupe]

It's just too depressing and, for me, predictable. Down to Brook and some bat swingers, I'm not optomistic.
