Bopara is a waste of space ... He's done nowt all series

Agreed,also think broad is on borrowed time and why recall chicken sh#t Bell??????????

Start the car!

No cricket for me on Monday...

How many runs has he got all together? About 17? F-cking a[irs[/iehole.

I don't think anyone can be bothered anymore. They all look fed up.

Absolute tosh this lark. Typical England, under a little more pressure and have collapsed. No play tomorrow if you ask me unless prior & cook can pull something out of the hat.

The compaction ruined the undersoil heating system!!

Rhinos don't need that anymore but rugby is played there all year round.

78 for 5

Disgraceful England. Boycott will be doing his nut!

I hope England don't score another run. They don't deserve to.

I've been dissapointed in my time by some performances, but after looking forward to this match for so long, and the last two matches form, I'm absolutely gutted I won't see any cricket on Monday.

I fear or this team now Freddie's retired, I really do.

Set of useless ba[size=100s[/sizetards, the lot of them.

Ashes cricket, Headingley 2017, bring it on.

Hooray! We've lasted till day three!

Aye its a joke.

The Rugby pitch is probably more sand than soil, i presonally dont think it'll do an harm to the pitch. Having a 3tonne (atleast) tractor parked there for a full day would do more harm and it will be a week til we have a game on there (if the game is finished tomorrow as expected)

I agree, not that clued up on county cricket but I don't know of any younger players able to cope against aus in the future.

It is a mental thing England have against Australia. I'm tired of the press hype too going on about the last ashes victory in 2005. Sky's lunch slot is often looking back at that series. People seem to forget the same Eng team was put on their ass less than a year later losing 5-0 against the same Aus team!

P.A.T.H.E.T.I.C!

at least those with a tixcket for monday get a refund.. I've paid £50 to watch englands drop out.

The cricket was so bad on Friday that even the WT was quiet. I was sat at the back (seat 83, Row ZE) and it was like being in a morgue...

We weren't much better on the first day against SA last year. Still I've had fun both times and plenty more to come yet.

Bopara is bang out of form, but was unlucky today, inside edge missed by the umpire. Collinwood and Bell are making up the numbers, Punter was right, this team has no middle order.

The bowling was wayward, but looked to be on orders (I don't believe that so many bowlers can have bad days all at the same time).

Freddie will be back for the Oval, lets see what a player with a bit of pride in the shirt looks like..

Bopara is rubbish.

Bell was only as bad as everyone else.

Collingwood did save the 1st test so saying he makes the numbers up is a bit harsh.

Looks like Wheels might be getting a refund

you got every part of your body crossed? you might need to if you expect Freddie to be at The Oval

Its his last ever test he will play no matter what I think

pray as much as you want mate

Freddie in the nets at Headingley looked terrible, no pace and looked as he could barely stand

horrible to see, if he does play at Oval it could do terrible damage

Stick an injection in it he will be reet

Another bowl another wicket

Dreamland is that way ---------------->

Contrary to what you think, it was touch and go for Freddie this week, that is from the man himself at a dinner on Wednesday night. The only reason he didn't play is that they thought they could do it without him. Obviously not...

touch & go?



TMS last Monday were saying he could barely move on the outfield and the footage
from the nets showing Freddie nowhere near bowling at decent speed at Headingley
