  1. This partnership the last two batsmen then a very long tail. Whether England remain in this game is basically going to be decided in this next hour.
  2. Because England can bat aggressively and proactively and push the score along at 5 or 6 an over without the crap that we've seen since the Lyon injury. Once again, this is literally the only way the Aussies can get England out on this pitch. Did you think Cameron Green's dismissal yesterday was brave attempt to play it or a **** brainless swipe with his team set?
  3. Another brainless, brainless dismissal. Just as well noted cerebral batting wonders Bairstow and Stokes are yet to come. **** me. Australia will have a 100 run lead at this rate. I can't believe the total lack of accountability and leadership in this side
  4. Australia, struggling on a slowish pitch and with Lyon injured, desperately fall on their last resort of putting men on the boundary hoping the English batsmen will brainlessly sky it. So what do they do whilst comfortably going along? They **** oblige. Absolutely awful the dismissals. All 3 wicket balls could have been scored off aggressively and safely. I wish Australia were this **** stupid with their wickets
  5. Australia now (comically) 393-8. What does Cummins do...
  6. Wonder if Australia will declare when they get to 393
  7. Trying to work out the more stupid decision. 1) The declaration with Root well over a century and set whilst still under 400 on DAY ONE 2) Getting Carey out after 81 overs with Aus 228-8 with the old ball and then not immediately switching to the new ball - instead letting Cummins (a known slogger who targets spin) target your part-time spinner for about 30 runs and put them into a winning position 3) Not picking your best wicket-keeper so you can watch Jonny Bairstow flounder around gifting Australia another 200 runs rather than just selecting him as a batter Then you've got the Duckett and Crawley constant failures, Moeen Ali adding nothing other than stat-padding the Australian batsmens test averages and picking half-fit bowlers. Maybe Australia will have their batsmen suffer similar levels of abject stupidity for the next 4 tests. We can only hope.
  8. Hulkenberg getting the same penalty as Sainz got for playing blocker car with Gasly.
  9. Continued my Roy Scheider re-watch by re-watching Jaws (Amazon Prime... i think). God its a masterpiece. Incredible performances, great direction and that horror of such a fearsome shark being in the water right where YOU are still hits hard to this day.
  10. Finished the main game of Ragnarok last weekend. On my way to try and get the Platinum challenges now. But wow - what a game. GoW 2018 is one of my all-time favourites and this is a great follow-up. Nitpicking I would say I didn't enjoy the On the plus side the voice acting is superb. Richard Schiff is **** excellent as Odin and Ryan Hurst is superb as Thor in the small doses you get him. Christopher Judge is (again) absolutely superb and got most of the biggest laughs from me. Other spoilery things I enjoy are The enemy variety was good too. Special shout out to the Phantoms. Overall an exceptional game and for any sequel or followup for GoW, in the words of Kylian Mbappe, I will be there no matter what
  11. Yeah it's incredible. I think only about 50 people alive have seen the film sadly
  12. Watched William Friedkin's Sorcerer earlier (Blu-Ray) What a great film. Roy Scheider was criminally underrated wasn't he?
  13. With all the Tina Turner and Rolf Harris death news I completely missed that Ray Stevenson had died. That's a real shock.
  14. Watched the original Thomas Crown Affair (Prime) yesterday with Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway. Pretty good. Think I prefer the remake though
  15. Hamilton and Verstappen suffering most from that. Makes the race interesting at least
  16. The Ferrari looks fast. The problem is that Red Bull always looks a tenth of a second faster
  17. Much better 5th round picks. Positions of need, Edge depth for Beal Jr from Georgia and Corner that was needed in Darrell Luter Jr from South Alabama. 3 more picks in 6th and 7th total and we're donezo
  18. Oh don't worry I haven't missed how obnoxious Packers fans are. They're owed some crap QB play for 30 or so years after having Favre and Rodgers back to back
  19. Everyone NFL-related on my Twitter feed has just started laughing at the Packers selecting the QB Clifford from PSU. I've never heard of him in my life but it's unusual to see such unified derision
  20. WRs on day 3 tend to be rotational pieces and ST options. I'm trying to think of our day 3 WRs recently and the best one is probably Jauan Jennings followed by Kendrick Bourne (UDFA) who were both gimmick players who basically could catch anything on 3rd down but nothing on 1st or 2nd
  21. Well Patriots just traded up for a kicker so..
  22. I mean yeah it's important to nail down a kicker. But he would have been there in the 4th, and we could have traded down into it from one of our 3 3rd round picks. The TE pick looks worse and worse in the cold light of day, can't picture anyone picking him prior to the 6th round. Genuinely think this is our crappest draft in 11 years. Only 2012 has been worse recently than this and that's because there wasn't a single starter in that draft
  23. Oh and a crap TE at 101 too. So safety (partial need) kicker (desperate need but not top 100 pick need) and tight end (not needed)
  24. We wait nearly 2 days to draft and take a kicker with the 99th pick (after trading up for a safety who may or may not be good). **** stupid
  25. Most teams picked best player available, few big trades... Houston really gambling for it to get 2nd and 3rd pick. Not sure I would have gone for an RB with a top 10 pick like the Falcons have.... but we're not picking until late today anyway so my opinion is moot. Lions taking an RB bit of a headscratcher too
