Wait until they bat first. Their top order has been flakey for 2 years.

We can but hope!

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Good start.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Not a bad first over. One back in the hutch and Smith out there early as Khawaja can't bat yet due to taking a piss break just before our tail completely failed to wag

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

A second wicket the very least Archer has deserved. He has bowled excellently.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Fuck off back to the hutch Smith.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Bowlers have been as good as batsmen were poor. Get Head out and game on.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It's game on already.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Incredible day of cricket.

SBS news segment on this just now was hilarious. Basically showed the England innings and said how ace Starc is and how shit the England batting was and haven't mentioned the Australian reply at all.

I fucking love the one-eyed sports coverage here.

This'll be over in 2 days at this rate!

 

[Del Woppio]

Mental stuff

 

[Wilf Wolf]

This'll be over in 2 days at this rate!

I hope not! If it is it is very unlikely to be an England victory.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Bowl them out first over in the morning. Smack a quick 200 in 40 overs. Bowl them out for less than 250 in 40. Simples.

 

[basher]

19 wickets on the first day... this isn't going any longer than 4 more sessions at that rate... whoever the likely winner maybe..

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

And to think the Australian press were referring to this pitch as the green monster that suited their quicks way more than ours (would have been perfect for Jimmy and Broad, they said, but Archer and Wood will be fucked on it)

 

[Stan Hullis]

Had better make new plans for Sunday/Monday…

What a day in the Perth sun.

Australian public were probably thinking of 200 run lead when England were skittled this morning.
This will be close to conclusion this time tomorrow I think.

 

[visage]

I just watched the entire days play, live streamed at 40,000 feet between KL and Doha, via Qatar airways Starlink. Astonishing tech. Shame it comes from an actual fascist.

Not sure a drink for each wicket was wise.

I'm going to probably enjoy seeing a couple of mates here tomorrow.
