I find this post very irritating, not from its sentiment, but purely because it got through the swear filter, whereas when I post about the legendary City Keeper **** Pym, I am pulled up for foul play !
Yeah life’s a bit*h innit Mr Ballz. I thought I would need a * to get it through. Fortunately the swear filter recognises that Warner is a ******** even if it rules out the female dog word. Bizarre.

If the weather forecast is correct, looks like a draw is the only outcome.
PS. Please hire Boycott and Cook as batting coaches before it's too late.

I wouldn't say that, it may be the likely outcome however this game can be won by either side despite the weather. They could get half a day in today and the forecast for Saturday and Sunday is decent. Both batting line ups are fragile and either could be rolled over in 40 - 60 overs.

Anything can happen.

We need Archer to rip through them this morning.

Yes, I'm afraid our batters could easily run into trouble again in the second innings. Especially at Lord's.

Yes. Anything can happen. But the weather forecast is not great so it looks like a draw. At the moment I'd settle for that. Can't imagine we could come back from 2 Tests down. Can't see us winning this one.

Watch Australia recover to 450 all out.
