Know people are already discussing this but didn't like the fact it didn't have its own thread.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Looks like KP and Collingwood have steadied the ship somewhat
Watch this be the kiss of death now......

Its 186-3 now KP and Colly playing well
KP is a crisp batsman alright
i want australia to trounce ingurland.
I think we get it you don't like cricket.KP is a crisp batsman alright
Why?
The Indians hate the English for some reason
KP up to his 50 playing really well
KP is a crisp batsman alright
Nah i dont hate it at all man, i just get a tad bored watching it on telly after a while. I've been to the Basin Reserve in Wellington to see New Zealand vs India & really enjoyed that. Was a great day out & saw the game in a different light
Apologies for the forum invasion, i'll stop it now
A couple of half centuries have certainly put us in a decent position.
There's always a risk of nerves getting to the players in the opening innings of such a high profile series. Luckily we've not started too badly all things considered.

any streamzzzzzzzz???
Why is it being played in Cardiff?
I suppose they did have the English FA Cup final down in Cardiff, so why stop at football. Next they'll be moving Wimbledon there.
This is after all the England and Wales cricket team, so having a test match there makes sense.
Anyway 200-3, looking good for now.

England and Wales.cos its an England game of course!?!?!
Didn't actually know this
Should have really because Simon Jones was Welsh wasn't he??
I've been knowledged today!!
228-4 Collingwood gone
What a dire shot by Pietersen. Easily our best player but he lets himself down with the odd rush of blood like that.
And Geraint Jones. Whatever happened to him?
Geoffrey Boycott isn't just bumming him up, you know?
Could catch only a bit of the match so far. Saw the 12 overs after tea.. there's notable swing both ways with the old ball. Should be an interesting match. Rubbish shot from Pietersen to get out.. but he should've been given out a few overs earlier for that LBW shout.
If Johnson gets a couple of wickets before close of play with the new ball taken later, England could be in big trouble.

Yes, it was looking good up to the point Collingwood was out. As you say, with the new ball due fairly shortly the Aussies will be fancying their chances of wrapping up this innings fairly rapidly.
I don't have much of a clue about cricket really but all I care about is beating the Ozzie's.
Flinthof is doing a Botham
6 of the first 7 batsmen have scored 30 or over - that always gives a scorecard a healthy look, especially if in amongst them you get some higher totals.
I'm pleased so far with the first day.

Prior and Flintoff aren't pissing about, are they?
Very good partnership.
Very good partnership.
good first day here, i do wish botham would shut up about twitter though
Flintoff - gone.
Gone.
I was just going to say Flintoff and Prior should play these 3 overs out because it'll end up being a very successful day for them.

Bugger
A night watchman when the next man in is Broad?
Yeah I think its Broad then Swann after the night watchman
Yea, I know. I find the choice of sending in a night watchman a bit odd at this point, Broad's just a tailender who can bat a bit.
Prior Gone
Not good.
Beauty!
now is when you regret sending in the nightwatchmen, prior gone
