Australia to win the series 5-0 anybody?

Don’t be daft, at least one game will get rained off, 4-0.

That looked plumb live on the telly. What a shocker of a series Stokes is having.

Shocking bowling and fielding on day 1 by England, much improved on day 2 before lunch.
Day 2, some good batting, although I would argue not suitable for test cricket, chasing every short ball fell into the Aussies hands.
Day 3, shocking batting by England, just giving wickets away, Aussies now in full control.
My concern before the series started was could we bowl them out twice, I don't think we can while keeping a moderate total, whitewash incoming.

Saving our reviews for hazlewood and one legged lyons..

Finally

 

[dadnlad]

So; when do we think they'll declare; lunchtime tomorrow? They'll be ovrr 400 ahead by then, which will be more than enough. And that gives them five sessions (weather permitting) to bowl us out. Which, again, will be more than enough.

run us into ground tea tomorrow

Lanky cut of for a 5 over game is 9.29pm.

Lots of zippy to be chatted on Sky until then.

Khawaja and Warner absolutely riding their luck.

Root rode his luck and then became impatient with it.

 

[cleavers]

I'm amazed he's still around.

Just shows how he's looked after himself.

I can't see it going on much longer.

 

[jimharri]

How's your rain dancing technique?

It worked!

 

[cleavers]

Can't see them getting back on tonight to be honest.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Completely blame Bairstow and stokes for this








should have let the oil protestors wreck the fucking pitch

 

[BringBackSwales]

It worked!

Answering your own messages? They tell me that’s a sign of madness (I do it a lot)

 

[waspish]

Need another rain dance for tomorrow

 

[BlueAnorak]

Bloody shit batting by England earlier

 

[ancoats]

End of the day the Aussies are well in control and 221 ahead with 8 wickets in the shed, So as it stands England will need to bowl unbelievably well and knock them over for around 300 then bat for a day and a half, yeah not going to happen,

Sorry to say Anderson, Broad, Robinson, are not good enough or fast enough when facing the Aussies, Even Stokes is not bowling because of an injury. that leaves Tongue bowling at around 85mph to take the major wickets,

We have to make major changes in the 3rd test and Wood, Woakes, Broad, Rehan Ahmed, should all play and if Stokes can not bowl then drop somebody up the order and Stokes just bats at 4 or 5 and play Tongue who'd been the pick of the bowlers

I think if they got to the wicket and got the Orange powered on it then we could be talking about a major postponement even playing it on another wicket or just moving it to another date

The first sign of madness is talking to yourself; the second one is when you answer back. Yes, it is.

 

[Claytop]

Only way to keep us in the series is for more rain over the next couple days.

If Aussies set us something like 450/500 on day 5 we’d go for it and lose the test.
