So, no Flintoff! Trott to come in with the bat, perhaps?

Weather looks good until Monday for Leeds, here goes!

Some Aussie breaking triggering the fire alarm too??
hmmm…..

Prior injured in warm-up.

oh dear… no flintoff 😯 could this be your 'McGrath' moment?

Priot had a back spasm playing football in the warm-up, definite parallels with McGrath!

GODDAMN IT!!!! WHY CAN'T UMPIRES GET A FRICKIN DECISION RIGHT!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

👿 👿 👿 👿 👿 👿 👿 👿

sorry… a little annoyed 😆 🙄

are there lives feeds on the tinterweb for this?

Kiwi umpire refuses to give decision in favour of Portaroo bowler. Hmm. Greg Chappell's moment of shame still coming back to bite them in the ass time and time again? 😉

frickin sheep shaggers and their inferiority complex… it's not like they would've won anyway, stupid ridiculous decision from Chappell 🙄

Good start this from Hilfenhaus, good line and length (though that bouncer was a bit ropey 🙂 )

are there lives feeds on the tinterweb for this?

Cricinfo is pretty good. Or if you're a Sky customer I think you can access it over the web?

I don't think anyone could claim that either Aussies or yorkshire people have inferiority complexes?

😆 Aussie's don't shag sheep, our women are way too hot, here's a typical representative:

Hold the phone! Dang! What a catch!!

your typical aussie woman looks like a horse? jesus.

That might throw the cat amongst the pigeons, the English batting lineup is looking a little weak without Flintoff & KP…

doh!

11for 1

frickin sheep shaggers and their inferiority complex…

What have the welsh got to do with anything? 😉

the ball's just moving around a little bit isn't it… tricky conditions for batsman

yeah but kylies an exception real sheilas look like this….

ah bugger!

Mwuhahahaha! Bopara really doesn't look like a suitable Number 3 to me… see ya later alligator 😆

That link doesn't seem to be working now but link 2 on here does – http://www.realhq.net/

Bopara gone! not looking good

DAMMITDAMMITDAMMITDAMMITDAMMITDAMMITDAMMIT

Looks like we needed an extra batsman or 5 after all….

Bopara gone…yay. unfortunately we'll almost certainly have to see another innings from him before the selectors realise he's sh1te…

Nothing wrong with Kath (I hope my missus has her figure at 50 or however old she is 😆 )

Bopara is pathetic.The ball didn't even do anything.
How long will centuries against a non motivated village team keep him in the team ? Anyone remember Sri Lanka ?

Gower is probably right about Bopara -they should bat him down the order until he has more experience. Ponting batted at 6 for years.

Not knowing owt about the sport but

(a) Can England lose the Ashes still?
(b) Is that not what normally happens? Fantastic start, rave reviews, lots of hype, then……uh oh?! As dead as a Dingos Drongo

Bopara couldn't hit a barn door with a shovel. He's absolutely no right to be batting that far up the order

(a) Can England lose the Ashes still?
(b) Is that not what normally happens?
yes and yes.

Shit – big trouble now for England.

Ase. Bell gone for 8. Hopeless!!!

Yeah baby, yeah! Good ball from Mitch 😀

Johnson in 'good ball' shocker. Whatever next…

He's bowling quite well today, getting some movement… he'll get an LBW shortly, I'd put a little bet on it 😉

bring on the rain
