Lew-T

Only fools on repeat.

I’ll wear a mask to protect others and not make others feel uncomfortable, but I’m completely done with this mess.

Any news updates on the radio or TV, I switch over. I’ll be happy just living in my own bubble…

Looks even worse in this footage:

Have we ever had it that bad against our players?

It was nearly as bad as this at Coventry to be fair! City fans telling where the players to go…

Yer tis!

 

Interesting.

Accents have obviously changed as I don’t hear anybody talking like that!

If a game was being played on the exact same pitch in the exact same conditions but in Birmingham rather than Brisbane we’d have seen Broad and Anderson opening the bowling last night.

As it is, those two players have been left out and Root decided he had to have a bat because of a decision Nasser Hussain made 19 years ago.

I do think the last paragraph of yours has a element of truth in it. 

I’m not I can handle the Ozzie boys on commentary all series…

If we’re playing like this.

Despite what I’ve just said about our bowling attack I am bricking it that we’re batting first! 

The opening pair scares me.

Warner will be over the moon.
 

Robinson is inexperienced, Wood is prone to injuries. This could backfire spectacularly 

Yeah, I’m surprised by the Broad call. It’s the first Ashes test, Warner will be itching a bit of having to face Broad.
 

Big call to go with a bowling attack who have never bowled together.

So bowling attack…

Woakes

Robinson

Wood 

Leach

Stokes

Big call to leave out both Jimmy and Broad. 

Man they’re shite.

That's got me thinking, which league club is the furthest away from any other club?

Just a guess, but Carlisle?

Swansea pretty similar in terms of being an outpost but they've done alright. 

Could you add Norwich to that list?

1-1

He's the sort of bloke you get in because you think he will shake the players up a bit. That doesn't look like Plymouth on the face of it.

Possibly not. 
 

But isn’t he local to Plymouth? and out of work. 2+2 and all that…

Warnock to Plymouth?

Weeks of talk about the pitch will be underprepared because of all the rain around, pictures yesterday of this green thing looking like Chester-le-Street in April..

Yeah we’ve decided to leave out Jimmy Anderson.

I’m quite happy with Broad, Woakes and Stokes going into this test. We need to be careful with Jimmy now, and with the Perth test not going ahead it could be another day/night test.

It’s our batting as usual which I’m worried about.

I think that’s a good move.

Some of the posts on this thread are embarrassing.

I think I’d take a draw today. Just want a decent performance.

When we’re 30-4 I’ll be going back to sleep.

I must be in the minority as someone who cant stand the Beatles.

Yep.

There are some pikeys complaining about this because they don’t think 20,000 is big enough….
 

Sorry what? When was the last time they even averaged 10K?

Has anybody on here watched it yet? Is it only on Disney+?

Players just walking back to get back.

I can’t take this.
