“The pitch for the fourth Ashes Test in Melbourne has ‘done too much’ and has resulted in an ‘unfair’ contest between bat and ball, says former England captain Michael Vaughan.”

Did Australia and England bat on different pitches? Or is he complaining that the Australia bowlers are better? What is he even talking about, the wittering fool?

“England were pushed towards the precipice of the fastest Ashes series defeat in more than 100 years”

TMS are talking about how Travis Head would be a kindly truck driver who'd offer you a lift even if it was out of his way and would talk just the right amount.

It's better than the banging on about milking the mid-on cow that was shortly before it.

Will the English shut up about bad decisions now they've been given an absolute shocking howler from the umpire for Weatherald's wicket?

No, no, they will not. Of course not.

First over bodes well for the length of this England innings.

Yeah, I’ll believe that if England a) bat on day two and b) survive day two.

Yes, they've won some bashabout children's games but the Ashes is supposed to be *important*.
