Ashes series 2015

Cooke out to a fluke catch

The guy at short leg didn't even have his eyes open

How jammy was that?
Voges caught it in his jumper when not even seemingly focussing on the ball .
Doh .
Please God don't let that be the cue for a collapse .

And I was about to say that the match was becoming so one sided that Michael Clarke may be having his wish and having more sex during this test

Every single run England can eke out in this 1st innings is huge now. Just please please please don't collapse England.
I beseech you!!

That catch/wicket had jam on it. No doubt about that.

Close of play England 133-3

Great bowling, awful aussie batting, it is nice saying that

Felt sorry for Cook, nothing he could do. Lyth again is not test class and Bell did what he has done all his career... a 50 to keep the average up and then give it away. Fingers crossed Root and Bairstow can survive the first hour 2moro and pile it on after that.

Don't know if it is a good sign or bad sign the fact that none of the three wickets lost were by good bowling. Lyth chased a wide, Cook batted beautifully and was incredibly unlucky yo get out and Bell what on earth was he doing?
If we can bat all day tomorrow it will be ours to lose.

With the experts predicting an easy 200 run lead before play started this morning, it's now 182-6, a profitable first hour for the Australians.

221-7 need another 3 wickets for 50 runs cos i got a bet on
