10 yr wedding anniversary fella - late one for me but lots of vino and weirdly lots of fights to watch from my window. A strange romantic paradox
ASHES - 2015!

Heh, do one.
There was plenty of talk from the English after the first test in this thread, I merely asked why it was so quiet this time around.
Still a bit to go in this one, and if The Lying Rag shines today Cook and Stokes could bat on.
Sublime innings from Smith mind you. Not the best batsman in the world for no reason.
I checked. Aussies were 90 for 1, and that was the last we heard from ye. Because they fell to shit thereafter.
Its not over till its over, you still have to take 16 wickets. Look up the Adelaide test 2006, very similar situation in that match, admittedly we don't have Warne!
No you weren't and you know it. You sound like a classless div singing 'you're not singing anymore'..... Wearing a jester hat. No place for that with the cricket lad....
You're not really a div but the jester hat might be true. ;-) anyway roll on today.
You're a wonderfully gentle sledger RA. It is one of your many endearing qualities.
Thanks fella. A 'gentle sledger' I can live with that.
Just to be clear RA, and Doctor-Mac while I'm at it, this was my original post:
"It's gone very quiet, wonder why"
To which you took massive affront and was befitting of your rant above, in addition to your earlier claim that itt "just isn't cricket".
Allow me to remind you of the posts that came post the Cardiff-test, which not only did you not deride as "classless" and "not cricket", but you also happened to give some of them a like...
So yeah, fucking do one you pair.
Unless he's got a long beard and called Hashim, you have the wrong best batsman in the world.
Erm, I did. You've completely missed the point. Well done.
Smith's ahead of Amla in the rankings, and has had a better last 2 years.
Anyways - bit of rain tomorrow morning might lose 20 overs from the day. I reckon Clarke will want 500 at least so if it does rain we will need to bat for 130 ish overs. Big task but Sri Lanka batted for 199 overs and drew the match in 2006 so it can be done. Spirit on Cardiff 2009
No one can deny he is in the form of his life atm, Wonder if the impending captaincy will effect that
Calm down lad. Enjoy the cricket and carry on. I'm hoping to go tomorrow so I'll be keeping a keen eye on today. Should be a good 'un.
Also I hate getting into arguments with Australians (or anyone for that matter) over cricket. It just feels wrong. You know what I mean?
Fuck! That was some whack Rodgers took!
The commentators were all saying 440 which I think would be a record run chase at Lords. They are now on 472 - You can see Clarke's conundrum. The track is flat and conditions are ideal for batting.
The longer they bat the better for me and England! 🙂

Having said that - In Herts 30 miles from Lords it's just started to rain!
I'd still rather take Hash - but Smith (if he carries on at this pace) will probably have a better career (which is saying something).
I love AB but I think Hash is slightly better -
Lunch then. Negotiated those last overs well enough. I can feel a collapse coming after the break though with the new ball. Sort that out and get through the day with only a couple of wickets down. Who knows!
England need to learn from this and act quickly if they're going to reclaim the momentum in the next match. They need to sort out the first four batsmen. Lyth can't remain. Ballance is straining the patience. Bell, great though he's been down the years, is on borrowed time. Big decisions ahead.
Haha! It starts already! What is the point of Lyth?
