Boozy, violent, whiny. Now we can add racist to the list.  :D

England debutant got off lightly for racial blunder - The Age

Aussie media throwing as much mud as they can.

Aussies are so tiresome!

A) It's not just the Aussies that brought this up

B) We shouldn't be writing off what he did and I, for one, find it hard to cheer for an unapologetic racist.

Apologies, must have missed them taking the new ball.
Still Australias day.

Nah, it's pretty even at the moment. 200-ish for 4 and the new ball has just been taken. Couple of wickets to start tomorrow's play and England will be on top.

Yeah you hope to take more than four wickets after inserting the opposition but the Australian run rate means that they didn't run away with it today.

Eng had a chance to finish well on top with another wicket or 2 . As it stands its dead even . If eng get new ball wickets they could roll oz for 270. If oz bat through the first hour then we could wind up with close to 400.

If the Aussies score 400, they’ll also be bowling with the new ball under lights in that last session and it could be complete carnage. The rain made sure England didn’t have that 10 over period under lights with a new ball

Exactly what i was thinking....timing of when an innings finishes is so much more influential in a pink ball day nighter .

Yep rain delay spiked Englands new ball bowling plans Anderson and Brosd bowling after tea with the ball 79 overs old not something you see often.
Boycott  on commentary unimpressed with Woakes  taking the pressure off the Aussies leaking runs down the leg side.

Haha come on Alan, try to go a day without singling Woakes out!

Unless you missed it, he also took a pretty key wicket! I'll happily let him leak a few runs to see Warner back in the dressing room

And he ran Bancroft out. By my reckoning that means he was involved in 2 of the 4 wickets taken today...

Off course we would Adam  Boycott was referring to the period after Anderson and Broad bowled  tight but having watched It  Warmers wicket was well tipical  Warner

Excellent runout . Bancroft was so far down the track he had  time to take aim  he still needs to work on how  not to leak runs  and  how to take  Aussie wickets though....

Having actually watched it, Woakes mostly bowled pretty well. He was all over Handscomb but couldn't find the killer ball, just a little too far over when he angled the ball in and hence the couple that went down to fine leg.

Woakes bowled pretty good, could of had a couple of wickets rather than one. Much better than the last test match....the wicket seemed to lack a bit of bounce , The Aussies have that extra pace let's see if this is a quick track, to me it looks very much like an English wicket.

I think with what edge is saying about Woakes he seems to bowl naturally slightly bringing the ball back and tries to hit the length rather than just put there.

That may limit any outswing which generally gets wickets as the ball is going towards the catchers. I'm not sure Woakes can still take it away to the slips.

I'm calling this now, 4 or 5 nil. Lower order contributions from Australia, England don't have any mongrel (to coin a phrase!).

Can't see our batting being consistent over the four tests. Sorry for the early morning doom and gloom!
