it's amusingly ironic that Archer/England's decision to try to get Smith out of the game through aggressive bowling got Labuchagne into the Aussie side, who's now emerged as their second best batsman
England :pal:

5th test.
England are 86-1 at lunch. Roy has been dropped for this one, now the Ashes have gone.
197-5, nobody with a score really.
:faint:
227-8. :haha:
FFS.
Leach and Buttler still the men in.
Buttler gets his fifty.
271-8 at close.
Leach still there with his batting masterclass. :bow:
England bowled out for 294. Broad the man not out for a majestic 0.
Aussies 55-2 in reply, Archer getting both Warner and Harris.
187-8, Woakes just got Smith.
Only 80 this time for Smith. Clearly in decline. :rose:
Leach drops Lyon.
Lyon has been cutting loose.
Archer gets his Five-for. Lyon bowled!
Sky are claiming it as a slow ball magic delivery. It looked like a rank full toss to me. :lol:
Root drops Hazelwood at slip.
He needs dropping.
Aussies out for 225.
Stunner of a catch from Burns to get Siddle!
Archer with six-for. :bow:
England close on 9-0.
Burns got whacked on the head.
Burns also given out last ball of the day but it clearly pitched outside the line of leg stump so fuck knows what the umpires are smoking.
Hopefully Gower takes Bumble with him when he goes.
Extra Cover Drive from Burns. :cloud9:
Denly has been stuck on 7 for half an hour. :lol:
Finally some runs!
Smacks Lyon down the ground for four.
Denly smacks him for six this time!
58-1 currently, Lyon removed Burns.
Ohhh in the dick!
Denly. :rose:
87-2, Root goes for 21.
He has been dreadful this series generally.
England make 88-2 at lunch.
Smith drops Stokes. :lol:
Denly gets his fifty, time for him to get out now.
193-2 at tea. :bow:
Old Man Denly is on 90. :bow:
214-3, Lyon bowls Stokes!
Denly goes on 94. :doh:
The game could not be set up for him any better and Bairstow still fucking fails.
New ball taken.
279-6, off goes Curran. Poor.
Wonderful drive from Buttler.
Cover drive from Buttler. :cloud9:
Another boundary, this one tickling down at third man.
So fucking cheapQuote:
