Very irritated by BT's replays crashing into live play.

Would love to know what Broad said to him after he caught it lol

Graeme Swann's bantz is fucking tedious.

Glad i don't have to hear it!

Think they also swap commentators very quickly too. I might be wrong but that's the impression I get.

How are you finding the Aussie guys, Gilly, Punter and Flem?

Not the worst. The accents are fucking irritating though I think Sky have it nailed and are a hard act to follow but they do at least talk some sense, Swann needs ditching, his 'laddish' manner grates.

What accents?

I have a horrible feeling about this......

 

[aussiespursguy]

I think we have our noses in front. Only just though.

Is Pat Cummins' inner Freddie Mercury trying to break free?

Stoneman and Root need to take the sting out of the Aussie quicks (and crowd) tomorrow otherwise it could be a long day (or short one )

Anything above 250 (optimistic?) will make for an interesting last day, But our back up bowlers need to be better, and our best bowlers need to bowl at key times. Moeen still seems to lack the belief that he is a front line spinner.

Was Anderson injured or what, confusion seemed to reign supreme...

we Need to bat all of today to win/draw. At the current run rate of this game we would be 220/230 ahead. That would be a tough run chase on a day 5 pitch and could potentially lose wickets chasing the win

I think Sky's coverage is so much better because they take it more seriously than BT and look to actually offer some insight whereas BT just seem to try and have a lot of banter.

There is plenty of banter with Sky, but it’s more subtle. Their cricket coverage is a lot like the BBC’s football coverage used to be. One for the purists with a good bit of banter between the pundits, but never overtook the actual content.

BT seem to be trying to cram in too many pundits and not giving them a chance to really get into it before moving onto the next segment/interview.

You guys awake?? Hello??

You guys awake?? Hello??

Why would we be awake? The Ashes don't start until 2nd Dec in Adelaide.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

I've decided that to do some work would be a more productive use of my time.

 

[Gb160]

The ECB need to bribe whoever we need to and get Stokes out there ASAP, won't solve all our problems but this could well be another whitewash.

What accents?

You mean the grating, monosyllabic, humourless, classless stuff I hear every minute of my life?
