Thought my bet on Cook top scoring this innings was fucked. Now I'm not so sure...

How could everyone (and I do mean everyone) collectively underestimate this Aussie side to the extent that they have?

I don't think anyone said they couldn't bowl. Everyone said they couldn't bat, and they haven't exactly proved that wrong yet barring a (touch wood) freak innings from Agar. The surprise, if there is one, is that England appear to have a "fuck up the first innings" policy |

This thread needs it's title changing. Remove the quotation marks from summer, and instead insert around "cricket"

I was discounting you, Reg. You always think everything's shit.  |

They're fucking rubbish. Watson's a good cricketer, Pup is world class and Harris and Pattinson are decent bowlers. They've got some passengers. Don't confuse England underperforming for the Aussies being underrated. |

Bairstow clean bowled Siddle for 21.
...Aaaaand it's a no ball. Tehehe. More than a little bit lucky, I hope he capitalises but horrible technique playing across the line. Bairstow for me has a touch of the Eoin Morgans about him, plenty of shots but not good enough in defence. I hope I have to eat these words when he brings up his ton shortly before the close tonight.

From 28-3 to 183-4. Sound response. Clawed it back towards respectability.
