Man I really thought England had it after that morning spell from Stuart Broad. But now Australia is still in it!
I know it's early, just want somewhere to post about it
Thanks! I just want someone to post about these!
How good is this Test so far? It's great to see two talented sides playing positive cricket.
Cracker of a day 1! What can we expect Stokes to do for day 2? Bowling with a sombrero on? Chug a drink for every dropped catch?
Whatever it is, I'm loving it!
Impressive batting from Khawaja. He was dominant with the pull shot, and in general just looked comfortable the entire day. And there's been enough contributions from the other batters that Australia are probably slightly ahead at the moment.
There's nothing like uzzy in a jumper in the uk summer
fucking bazball
The vibes are immaculate with this bowling change
Stokes:
What
coming to the realisation, i don't have enough beer. fucking bazball
On your way Davey
Pundits wondering about the declaration, I just think Stokes declared to prevent Gary getting a 5fer
Weather's cooling down, think it'll be a batter's day easily
Aus might need to bat at a good pace today if they want a result, weather looks less than ideal tomorrow
Could use that reserve day that the WTC final didn't end up needing.
