Thought it wasn't meant to rain today? Damn Google weather.

I'm sure that will help bring in more supporters for their causethey really are backwards folk thinking they are doing even the slightest good.
Cricket thread mate.
Yeah one that would have been a huge boost
Members clapping them again ….thought they’d done all that
Bit of movement around with the overheads but it's looks another slow wicket. Dissapointing.
Hopefully the cloud cover for the first few days keeps the bowlers in it.

When can I start getting a bit concerned by Robinson?
I had huge hopes for him this summer but thought he looked pedestrian as feck in the last test (despite ending up with ok figures) and he's started off floating them up at 78mph today aswell.
Hopefully just lacking rhythm.

i reckon he’s knackered after staying up night trying to think of sledges for the aussies. i saw him discreet a piece of paper in his pocket at the anthems this morning that said:
“warner? more like warnering, as in, i’m warnering you, i’m going to get you out.”
“nothing i like more in the morning than a steaming cup of labuschagne tea.”
“cummins? you’ll soon be goings.”
Feck sake.... It's the last test all over again.
HAVE to take chances like that.

Another one down, poor start from England.
No where near good enough in the field once again. That’s actually pathetic.
I've only seen a few balls but he looks threatening to me. I'd suggest he wouldn't wanna bowl this pace when then there's nothing in the conditions for him but 78 feels plenty for a morning like this.
I really hope the series doesn’t end up being a letdown because we’re not sharp enough. If we don’t win this match feels like all the tension goes out of the series.
Kneejerk reaction after this start - we will lose the series 3-0 or 3-1.
Them two chances shelled, no spinner to dry the runs up, this just looks like it is going to be a bad day at the office.

Not good we've let these two get to 50. The bowling hasn't been bad I'd say, but yeah, not a great start.
Yeah just what we didn't need after Edgbaston
Warner is looking confident.
Can thank Pope for that happening
Hell of a ball that
I know he was great at Edgbaston but not the one I wanted, to be honest. It's Warner that's been hurting us.
I wouldn't write off this test after one average session lads

This is the last team in world you give opportunities to,terrified at prospect we have now given top 3 in test rankings a platform. Need an afternoon session where conditions could well turn against us unfortunately
Good session for the Aussies. Silly decision to go with an all pace attack to be honest but let’s see - the conditions could pay off for Stokes & Co.
Josh's pace could still prove beneficial,however having no spinner could leave us constantly behind the game. We are gonna have to pull out the unlikely chase this time
Zak Crawley’s prediction of England winning by 150 runs looks almost impossible now
I am confused. Zak Crawley predicted we would follow on?
Need to get 3 wickets this afternoon which right now is looking a long way off
No wonder Tongue was licking his lips earlier
Tongue has been unlucky today so many runs from edges and obviously that one ball prior, but the 2 wickets have been superb deliveries
Tongue has been quality for us at Worcestershire, always the question of if they can step up to international level but he’s doing a good job of making a case for himself, love to see it
Labushagne has looked shaky as hell.
reckon that could be pope done. hasn’t he had a history of dislocating his shoulder?
Smith aint messing about is he
Steve Smith looking worrying like... well, Steve Smith.
Yeah a partnership to give us nightmares
Think he needs to take maybe 7 wickets in the match along with little tail-end cameo to stay in when Wood is fit
Pretty awful day so far, and worrying to see the same issues with the drops and no balls
Australia playing some very good Cumm-Ball here.
Robinson just not been doing enough for me so far today... no real pace to his bowling, and he's not getting much movement.
Very ordinary
