As much as I don’t like changing teams so early in a series, Ali is almost certain to be replaced by Leach. The other one for me who looks bereft of confidence is Bairstow. Keeping and batting all at sea. Foakes seems the obvious replacement.

Could be a very different England team next test if Anderson is injured.

Alas, poor Jimmy. He won't be back at his age.

Smith got himself out through lack of concentration. He probably believes the Aussies have enough runs already.

He what ?? he faced 200+ balls....a huge feat of skill and concentration not lack of it !!

With England now 18-1 for this match I had a look at the odds for the Series. We're still favorites;

England 11/8
Smith 7/4
Draw 15/2

BRIGHT ON Q · Aug 4, 2019

Ali has bowled 25 overs and not one maiden.

Archer & Leach for 2nd Test?

vegster · Aug 4, 2019

About 40 minutes until this pitch becomes a minefield.

With that rough and a spinner or Lyons quality it will be a minefield, our front line spinner has been chucking down pies most of the day

I think we should at least start with 11...just two seems a bit optimistic

Straya seem to be doing quite well with 1.

Tuffers said said it was a hacky-sac earlier.

How many overs do we have to face this evening.

Lyon is still a **** though. Small mercies. He can't change that.

Probably.

Embarrassing

maltaseagull · Aug 4, 2019

Many years ago, when faced with this situation a draw was a distinct possibility.

Now with all the big hitters with no technique, we will be all out before tea.

None down..but have to listen to Warne going on about how much Steve Smith has had to go through in the last year...piss off
