Sending a team in at Adelaide .... wow.

Blue skies coming in from the bay, cold as buggery.........win the toss and bat, reckon the Poms have fallen for the biggest AO con since ‘82/‘83.

Time will tell.

It looks absolutely freezing at the moment. Stay warm and hope you see some massive batting today.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Interesting choice to elect to bowl first, we will likely know in 2 hours if it was the right call.

You'll only know when the match is over if the call was correct.

First time since 1992 the side that won the toss has bowled.

lmao they put us into bat, hopefully it backfires like Edgbaston in 05 or at the GABBA in 03

Let's all hope that it blows up in their face.

Not sure the windy conditions are good for swing bowling either.

That's a bloody ballsy call by Root. Bit of pressure on the England bowlers

Do any of these ****ing teams do a skerrick of ****ing research before they come here? Aside from SA, how many teams come to Australia, win the toss and bowl first, and win the match? It doesn’t f***ing happen.

How many win the toss and bowl, and get f***en destroyed?

F***en shitloads.

Whoever is in charge of this squad is criminally mentally challenged

The Quantas choir on the roof is making me cringe.

Well it is December.

I understand why they have gambled and bowled first though, we are worse when the ball moves than we are on rank turners so this is as good a shot as they will get all series.

 

[Schraderbrau]

nasser insane imo

 

[JG22]

Khawaja to ton up today

 

[NSWCROW]

Good recovery from a shaky start lol

You do know thank Qantas doesn't have a "u" in it, right?
