Oh right the tip of the thumb. Wow.

Good poker face from Crawley

Those are the 3 wickets everyone expected, but perhaps not at that rate. One wonders what could have been if the deck offered anything at all.

Brook very agressive but he's finding the right balls to play it against.

Got away with that one tho. Good effort from head

You have to catch that surely.

[KiwiMurph]

I think Head is a bit more suited to infield than outfield

Yep but according to Tubs Taylor "he's not a natural catcher" 🙄

[NTA]

That's about as weird a dismissal as you'll get. Unlucky for Brook

[KiwiMurph]

Haha holy shit.

[KiwiMurph]

That sucks - gun bat who averages 80+ gets out to that meanwhile Marnus is about the luckiest bloke in cricket history

Wasted review

[NTA]

Leg side ish

[NTA]

And height. That was a better review but not by much

Bairstow to go on and get a ton

[KiwiMurph]

Bloody impressive return from Bairstow.

[KiwiMurph]

Another fielding error by the Aussies - Carey drops Bairstow

[KiwiMurph]

Lyon makes sure the damage isn't too bad. Gets Bairstow.

[KiwiMurph]

Good non-review. Steve Smith no idea haha

Looking like Aussie's day so far, but if England can get to 400, then that's 400 runs on the board which certainly means its anyones game.

Golf club was great fun ... a few Aussies in amongst the partisan crowd. Lot of cheers for both sets of fans. I seemed to get lumped in with the Aussies so can't win. Pom on here, Aussie over here.

Worthy first day of an Ashes series. England playing Bazball through and through. Lots of runs, and a few wickets.

[KiwiMurph]

Bazball is awesome. Declaring with under 400 on the board is ballsy as fuck

Yeah, what the fuck! Sort of have to congratulate with a hint of "what the fuck are you thinking"
