[Aidan11]

If I get up early enough I might get to see a good chunk of this match.

this takes sledging to a whole new level

[Aidan11]

Sounds like a stitch up.

Was Alastair Cook in the area at the time?

maybe he was wearing the outfit that got him nominated as women's cricketer of the year

[Aidan11]

I suspect Morgan might get a bit of sledging tonight over it.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Isn't it normally considered a virtue among young men to be sexually active? What can he get sledged for?

either the guy is a real idiot or we are missing something with this story , as you wouldn't try to blackmail someone because they slept with your girlfriend before you met her, and both parties were single at the time

[Arthur Crabtree]

His explanation was that he was jealous... well, everyone knows about it now!

but you don't blackmail someone just coz you are jealous do you ?

that's why I said the guy might not be the sharpest tool in the box

[Arthur Crabtree]

Maybe celebrities do pay to keep their private life out of the papers? Though Morgs won't have any tabloid value.

Bit chastening for the England skipper. That you would have a relationship with someone who would also be the partner of this galah.

aus win the toss and bat

white , s.marsh and henriques in , warner, Watson and bailey out

England unchanged

looks a weaker aus batting lineup with a few bits and pieces players in the middle order , all capable of fireworks but not really solid looking

[rich1uk]

bit streaky from bell so far , best shot he played he got nothing for as it went straight to a fielder on the ground, couple of big edges for four but he is looking to be positive

[Gingerfinch]

Yep, shaky start. Lovely square drive just now.

[Gingerfinch]

Ali cutting loose. Why do fielders stand a couple of yards in from the rope. Ali was gone, if he was on it.

[rich1uk]

ali after looking shaky as well hits 3 successive 6s

this is the sort of start we want in the powerplay more often
