It's not a proper Englanding until MMarsh gets one of the last 2 wickets.

the bowlers could be inside kicking their feet up but they'd rather be out there trying to kill anderson the loving morons.

with this australian batting lineup id be surprised if the whole team isnt padded up ready to go on the first ball

Talk to the mittens.
I've been kind of curious about it before but now that the commentators are talking about it, the umpires seem to have no issue with the pace bowlers aiming five out of every six balls at the neck of their number 10 and 11 "batsmen". At what point do they say "Ahem, you're trying to get them out, not put them down". I mean, they're not doing a Brett Lee and his "accidental" beamers but still.

At least Broad put it out of the park once. I'd love for him to get his short-ball confidence back.

I legit want Anderson and Broad to come out and swing/clean up Australia for less than the follow-on score

*calls for glove swap*

If they bowled at the stumps, there was at least 3 more chances for the Maxwell.gif

This but have them take 0/300 combined and possibly injure themselves.

i like the way australian fast bowlers literally try to murder tailenders who can barely hold a bat but when they hit someone in the head they all start crying about talking about phil hughes
