Dire.....pointless cook , bell just shyte , lythe looks like a 5'10" , skinny ,toddler.....not impressed at all , the sarcastic text messages have already started........ffs....:rant:

Faint hope might be they are yet to bat, so faint hope we may actually get some wickets, as I say though,,,,

Ditto. If we bat first I can see us being 78-4 at lunch, I know its against normal conventions but if we bowl first we might just take the sting out of their batting and restrict them to 250 ish..

I was close....if only we had bowled and had the Aussies 3 down for that score ? I know which dressing room will be the happier after this morning.

Breathless morning at the SWALEC, going with form. Depressing thing is this looks a lifeless surface, you just know when Australia get in they'll make 500+.

If we lose this test, on this pudding of a pitch, we might as well not bother. There will not be another wicket that nullifies their bowlers to such an extent in the series.

These are Aussies, it is either a flood or a complete drought. Reckon 1 wicket and the flood gates open again..

I've got 2 brothers that live in Perth,they reckon the place is flooded with Brits,where are they all?

I live in the hills, they are most likely in town.
Copped some s**t for the first three wickets, but the fight back has started now.
Just got home and getting a live stream sorted out, so late night here.
