Head 154

Well done

Yep, great job Head!

For the dyslexic amongst us this is not inappropriate in any way but praise for a terrific innings.

Is this test match actually being played in Australia? Because all I'm hearing regarding commentary is England, England, England, what England need to do, how England can better themselves. Its almost as though we should apologise for being in front. The commentary is sickening. Brayshaw is as bad as Warne. They couldn't suck up their arse more if they tried.

Two incredibly bad commentators.

I agree that it's hard to pick which is worse.

Good fight back from the two and froms.

Nice day to bat at the Gabba. Lead of 278 disappearing quickly.

It was a perfect day to bat. What we saw tow today is what you would normally see in Brisbane on day one.

You couldn’t really be a cricket fan and not love Junior

Steve was the one you chose to bat to save you, junior was who you chose for the last innings you would watch.

The NMFC pessimist in me was ready for a loooooooong day;
. Root 172
. Malan 139
. Stokes 76 off 46
. Buttler quick fire 60
. Woakes an arsey 37
