Do they have to ask cricketers about the music they like? They always have such awful jock taste.

We aren't actually doing as bad as I thought. Maybe we're evenly matched? This will be a good game hopefully.

We're certainly about two wickets too many down. Good effort with the cherry from our bowlers, though.

Yeah, we gotta do something about our batters. Even Clarkey hasn't done too well overseas this year.
I have a friend who's a big fan of Steve Smith. He's gonna be happy.

Agar's looking great with the bat.

Wow. Sure I've been on edge waiting for an innings break but that was a great session. Had everything.

Yeah, it was great. Agar's so fucking solid.

Broken records all over the place.

Goodbye Nathan Lyon.

Good riddance.

This could be very interesting. It's going to be tough though.

If Agar/Haddin can somehow get through the first session then we are in with a solid chance. Probability is pretty low though.

I hope every game is as awesome as that one. Ups and downs everywhere.

Yep, that was a rollercoaster. Nice to know that "the worst Australian team to ever tour England" came within 15 runs of winning the first Test.

I'd wager Cowan out, Usman in. Bowlers should stay the same.

I'd love Usman to come in but they won't do it. Cowan will have another chance then Warner is available.

Cowan is such dead wood. There wouldn't be a bowler in the world who is intimidated in the slightest by that bloke.

But yeah, I think you're probably right based on what I've read over the last 24 hours. Sounds like they're considering a move back up the order for Hughes (first drop) and Warner into the middle order.

Well they could move Hughes and put Usman at 6 but if they intend to bring Warner back in the fold then they will probably give Cowan another shot.
Bowlers the same unless there's a niggle. Bird may be a good shout for Lords though.

They are talking about Starc maybe missing out. Harris is always solid but Bird's accuracy could be decisive.

I really want Bird to get another game soon. And zeb, I agree, Cowan never looks intimidating at all. Even when he's been in for 200 balls for 30 runs he still looks like he's hanging on for dear life every ball.
