The Ashes

[rsbaggy2]

We were 30 off 4 overs what's the bloody rush

Crawley played two glorious shots off Starc just now. And went for another boomin drive and almost nicked off. 

They just can't help themselves. Two occasions now we've nearly gifted Australia a wicket through two needless and poor shots. 

It's a very good start run rate wise, but you can tell lessons haven't been learnt. We need to bat time and long to save this Test.

And then Duckett chips one up and luckily it drops short of the fielder.

The pitch is doing nothing. The bowling isn't particularly dangerous, and yet we're still finding ways to give them chances.

It's about time players were paid by the day rather than the whole match. They'll soon learn how to bat time then.

Maybe a lesson to be learnt from the Windies v New Zealand match. Epic performance by the tourists.
