@NTA I’ve gotta say I actually quite like Warne, M Waugh, Hussey, Gilly etc as commentators and presenters. Warne was full of genuine praise for the courage that Anderson showed while batting, M Waugh said Stokes was a better player than his record…..little things like that were a really nice touch, so much better than the “Australia is amazing and fuck everyone else” bullshit that Tubby, Slats, Healy and Nicholls ( urgh fuck I hate that slimy suck up ) used to indulge in.
Still a bit of overly Bogan matey anecdotes from Warney sometimes….but it is Warney so it’s too be expected.

@mn5 Ponting, Botham, Blewett, Fleming, Hayden, on free to air. It's insightful and to the point, as well as having the right degree of humour without the blokey shit.
Supported by Alison Mitchell, James Brayshaw, and a couple of professional commentators and it is a better package.

Actually that does sound potentially better. Beefy is always good value behind the mic. Not an option in NZ though I don’t think.

Wow - England start on fire!
Neser and Harris both removed within 15 balls of the resumption - then Buttler - having taken a great catch to get rid of Harris drops an easier one that should have had Smith walking back first ball. Second ball Smith survives an lbw review on an impact umpires call.
So Buttler pissed on the fire a little bit...

I wonder how many runs Oz think they need?
Warnie seemed to think they'd bat a little bit past tea, which would give them the option of two evening sessions with a new ball in hand - in case they'd need both. Seems reasonable.
On the other hand, that leaves less than 4 sessions for England to survive - which might just about be doable if they could survive the evening session relatively unscathed.

Commonsense says they won't and they can't.
