*Official* Fourth Test at Chester-le-Street

Who are we kidding though, this is probably more than Australia can make already if Clarke fails.
We have Siddle at 8 so we should be right. But seriously, we need our batsman to make runs this Test because this is the weakest batting lineup from 8-11 we've fielded in ages.

This is one of the worst innings you will see from Jonny B. If he is there at the end of the day there is something to be said for that, but aesthetically its dreadful. He needs a big score and probably another 50 here and the Oval to keep his starting place ahead of Titch.
TBF to JB it's really not just him, apart from a decent 49 by Trott we've been leaden here. Kp hit a few, but most of them looked like being out. Very good bowling, but rotate the strike, move your feet, do ****ing something rather then let good bowlers just bowl at you.

Oh he hasn't hit anything end the ginger ***** pain.

Geez they've been labouring on the inside edges for the last two reviews. Just hoping to avoid the mistakes of the last three Tests, I suppose?

Awesome work Lyon, really poor innings from Bairstow after looking quite reasonable in getting to 12. Funny that he gets bogged down, makes some runs and then plays such a bad crossed batted shots.

For Bairstow haters, that is the exact sort of innings where a batsman gets dropped, so that's something to be happy about.

Yeah our batting line up has been crap since the last Ashes pretty much. Need to drop Bairstow now. Broad should have a smash, no point in hanging around.
