The Ashes

[Chazza]

Sky have dragged Ponting into the commentary team.

[Alex]

He's almost certainly used the same hair technology as Warne. Im sure he used to be almost bald

[EwarWoo]

Wasn't gunna but subbed so I can watch it online whilst I play games. I can't bring myself to not watch at all as much as I know I'll hate very second. Lol.

[Chazza]

Johnson and Starc :gulp:

[Chazza]

Cook wins the toss and England Bat.

No pressure.

[Buzzo]

Quite ballsy from Cook. He is only so recently found form.

Could be an interesting opening session baring in mind Mitchell Johnson had then on toast last time the teams met.

[spud_gun]

Boom!

[Chris]

You are scum Cook. Get OUT!!! NOW!!!!!

[Chris]

What a joke Bell is.

[Chazza]

****ing Bell

[Alex]

Shock. Batsmen out of form are getting knocked over quickly.

Same **** different test. Such a shame after all the promise of the Spring. Back to everything resting on Root and Stokes shoulders again.

[Chris]

Root to the rescue! Feels like we are in that position way too much!

[Shaggy]

Lyth and Bell need ****ing off

[Buzzo]

Bells form for England is atrocious (Since his last ton - 11, 1, 0, 0, 1, 29, 12, 1) He needs a score badly to just tify his place in the team. He and Balance getting skittles early was putting massive pressure on the middle order.

But I agree, he deserves the chance to put it right.

Bell stats update since last ton.

11, 1, 0, 0, 1, 29, 12, 1, 1...

Woeful.
