Declare get the Aussies in.

Can we hang on for another heroic draw?

No way. It can fairly be said that England have been thoroughly outplayed in every department of the game in this series. And outplayed by a decent Australian team, but far from being a vintage one.

Maybe we can get the Aussies to collapse and 70 all out.

We need more of this sunny optimism on BM.

bye smug
great catch game on

There was a time when 300 in the first innings was the benchmark: now 200 is a respectable score.

 

[oddfellows]

Top scorer a bowler, why don't the Aussies forfeit their 2nd innings and make it a contest?

Wow a pair for the prick

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Absolutely useless, pump cunts.

Woakes with the highest score. Shameful.

Spineless cunts

5-2.........

 

[waspish]

Poor review

 

[bluemoon32]

Can you imagine being a bowler in that dressing room, surely it's got to cause some tension in a " fcuking man up you batsmen cunts" way

See, it is far from being the case that Australia always completely dominates matches against England right through the match. I'm talking about matches that they've won. A thousand times over the last thirty years, we've seen England get their foot firmly on Australia's neck, only for the Aussies to wriggle out from under it and turn the match around. Such was the case when the Aussies were at about 60 for 4 in this one. That's why I'm not getting excited about taking a couple of early wickets. If they get to about 80 for 7, I'll start getting excited. And even then…

won the draw in the last rain affected test and all been told its a job well done and your place in the test squad is safe in the coming years. even the captain and coach and backing staff are untouchable ?

Doesn’t matter what Australia score. They will still win.

 

[bluemoon32]

If the game actually mattered then the Aussies wouldn't be playing like this

Me too!I think if we dont get them for double figures then its done.
Cant see England chasing much over 160

I've got a horrible feeling you're right. That's where we are now.
