Don't get why any player in this Ashes series would risk dining inside a public restaurant only hours before the start of the second Test, just as Omicron is taking off exponentially.

Seems a silly gamble, not just by the player, but by Cricket Australia to allow it. Starc & Lyon, sitting outside at the same restaurant and unaffected, showed how socialising could be more safely mananged.

Poll: Why can't/don't we protest like the French do? 🤔

Morning XYZ, morning Ryorry, morning everyone.

Early start. Love the fact it’s an ‘early starter’ rather than a ‘stay up late’ match.

Firstly, my prediction of 3-1 Australia for the series had England as this as their best chance of getting that win. A day/night test with Anderson and Broad both playing makes this our likely best chance. I’ve almost in my head counted the series winnings for Australia in my head. There’s just no way they don’t win the series based on the dominance of that first test.

As for this one as a stand alone match though, I think it was a very big toss to win. Simply because it looks like an absolute road of a wicket and being able to get in is going to be crucial. The first 30 balls of every batsman is the crucial thing here. Getting in and set on this wicket will make it very easy to score big runs. Need to get the batters out in that first 30 balls for each batsman or it’ll be a tough day if we can’t get a few. Wouldn’t at all suprise me if we got some joy this morning with wickets but Australia recover and get 350+.

I’ll say Anderson and Broad will both get a wicket this morning but the day ends 283-5

Morning all. Wish we had won the toss this time. Surely Root would have batted. Surprised at Leach's omission given we have our big two seamers in, plus Woakes, Robinson and Stokes. Aus will see that as a moral victory.

The most unvaried bowling attack in world cricket? And we all thought Ipswich were in a mess, this England side needs an overhaul, all too predictable.

Poll: Where are we going to finish?

Not going to matter that much if the Aussies hit 500 in the first innings.

So frustrating, especially after the screamer he took first thing.
