Starc is different gravy.
At least we have made a fist of it.
I had 350ish in mind for the Auzzie total earlier.

Think they have plenty. The bit of luck and poor bowling in the first 10 or so overs will be the difference I reckon.

We pulled it back pretty well, after that start. My worry is the 2nd half of that innings being more a true reflection of the pitch, than the first.
But we've given ourselves a chance. And bat well, we should get there.

Definitely an achievable target, but this is England - lets see, interesting second innings coming up!

I swear to god, James Vince should never, ever, ever be seen in an England shirt ever again.

How fucking incompetent are our selectors that they’re yet to fucking realise he’s a county player AT BEST

This England team has absolutely no bottle. When things are going well for them, they’re amazing.

The slightest bit of pressure and they fold. It’s embarrassing.

This is what happens when you play warm ups on pitches the size of a postage stamp that are built for nothing but runs.

These pitches are going to become more challenging as the WC goes on, same as it ever was.

Well to be fair, Starc was always going to be right handful on this pitch. We were a bit unlucky this morning, but in the main didn't bowl well enough..... and Jason Roy is a big miss.

Two away/sliders across him followed up by one swinging the other way - not rocket science for a batsman of Roots quality ...

A&C nailed it this morning I think.

Enjoy your afternoons if you're going to stick it out on here (y)
