Last test match at the WACA. Fitting if this is the one we find our form. One thing for sure. Moeen Ali won't be out on the piss ! Win the toss and have a bowl and bowl quick.

Honours even I think. Haven't a chance to look at the stats as i have just woken up. Bastard snow deep on the ground.

chillumpuffer Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Excellent stuff from Malan and Bairstow. Gives us a foothold. We must press on tomorrow and bowl well. Rumours of bad weather Sunday and Monday could give the Aussies heart though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malan and Bairstow batted magnificently, the highest ever fifth wicket partnership against Australia. 6 for 35 was disappointing for England. Losing one of your strike bowlers hasn't helped the cause. Has Cook played his last test? Perhaps. Hopefully Smith will get another ton.

Root should be sacked. No leadership throughout. Why leave Ben Stokes out? Innocent until proven eh? I know one man doesn't make the team but at least he has some fight in him. Nothing can come close to how fucking depressed I feel this morning. I live in a shit country with appalling weather and it's Christmas !! The time I hate the most. Dark, cold and seriously shit.

Enjoy your Christmas with your family. I suppose, as I work for myself and at home, I can't say it is ever miserable. Winter can be hard for me as it's so cold and I do get down at this time of year. Anyway Mrs CP finishes on Friday for a good break and we have chums to visit on Boxing Day so that will be good. Time to look for a winters break me thinks?
