Ashes 2017/18

I'm not sure Perth is as fast as it used to be but otherwise you're right.

We can't bowl them out so we need to bat them out of the game and we ain't doing that anytime this winter.

Its not even a vintage aussie side.

Don't be harsh.

We were still alive and kicking on day 3 and the day/night was a chance for our bowlers to shine.

matey keep hoping and who am i to take away your dreams and we can all pray for a miracle at this time of year

I take it Pep gave the England side a half time team talk

What is a realistic 4th innings run chase??, less than 350??

Just checked, 315 record run chase, England currently 322 behind

250-300 would have been a big ask. The record chase at this ground is 315 and that was in 1902 so..

In theory that shouldn't matter, England could have over a day and a half to bat and the crease SHOULD be more favorable to us as the test goes on.

But our batsmen have been shit so chasing 150 would be a huge ask if their form continues.


Edit: Excellent bowl from Woakes. 122-8

Hopefully Anderson hasn't hurt himself dropping that

Unlucky Jimmy. So close to getting his 5th

Get these last 2 out quickly, England will win this
