England v Australia, 1st Test, Cardiff, July 8-12

Two soft-cock dismissals ... Strauss and Bopara.

FFS ... here we go again.

Johnno gets Bopara - Hughes makes a simple catch look bloody hard somehow....

170 all out before tea.

Hauritz to rip through them after lunch

Or four, even? Or am I pushing it?

Jeez some of the Aussie players are fugly.
Hughes, Ponting, Siddle.
They should have picked McDonald too !

Pretty enemic first half hour but then the boys got some line and length going. Little bit in the air, nothing from the pitch.

The Drunk would be happy with 3 wickets at Lunch. What wil KP do after Lunch?

Great shot selection, guys .

Three down at lunch and not a decent delivery has taken a wicket - as f*cking usual with England. Bopara's dismissal was absolutely pathetic, it was Ian Bell vintage. He and Strauss really ballsed it up when they were going well, pair of tw@ts.

Cook needs to tighten up outside off.

And FFS the ground is square.

FFS, Milf and Cot should get Midge in the nets and say "this is how you farkin bowl a swinging ball".

As has been asked elsewhere, WTF does Cooley get paid to do?

More likely "Aus regret picking Hauritz over Gump".

So you can't forum and watch at the same time, baldy?

Still, all-in-all, after seeing the abominable selection of Hauritz over Gump, and losing the toss, have to say I'm pleased with 3-97 at Lunch.

Oh and btw, Siddle looking good. Booming inswingers.
