Ashes 2017/18

3 of the 4 wickets today from chopping the ball onto the stumps.

Looking like 8 down here barring review.........

Yup; 8 down.

3 of the 4 wickets today from chopping the ball onto the stumps.

Deliberate ploy from England’s bowlers, or sloppy errors from the Australian batsmen?

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

I think England slowing down the run rate yesterday has given them a chance in this game.

 

[NPBlue]

Well another one down and it's 326 for 9, but we know (?) what's going to happen when England start batting.

Despite my pessimism, It's been a very good morning for our bowlers.

 

[RadcliffeRick]

Is it time for the groundsman to come into play yet?

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

A very good day for England. Sloppy batting from the aussies but we stuck at it and batted well. Advantage England! Too little too late but at least they can save face

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

Cook's place saved, despite it being far too late and utterly meaningless.

 

[waspish]

Oh you decided to turn up.

 

[aguerrrroooooooooooo]

Not sure why anyone cares at this point. I'd rather see city win a throw-in than England win an utterly pointless test

Agree the stat padders be out at the end of the series showing how many runs and wickets our players have got, meaningless the only stats you should look at is the first 3 tests the next 2 tests it’s only use is to get your own personal stats up.

 

[the plasterer]

Even England won't fuck this up now, saves a 5-0 drubbing at least

 

[ancoats]

its why england are in a mess cook and broad NOW stand up and show some fight it says one thing they are not happy with root as captain
cook feels he should still be captain and broad thinks he should have been picked before root and they have let england and root down in the ashes

its still not done and dusted in the 4th test and the wicket will turn and keep low and if england don't post a lead in the 1st innings will have to sit in and defend in the 2nd innings rather and batting to win it but the draw will not happen

I'd sooner back the convicts at 9/4 than us at 7/4.

England will need 150 lead on that pitch batting last in a meaningless game.

england will fold tonight and lucky to get anywhere near a lead of 150 and all england can hope for is them not turning and score quick runs before the 2nd new ball but again that will be asking to much for england to bat for 90 overs its been the worst ashes tour and players have just gone over there for a holiday and a break

Yep noticed Pointing and Gilchrist not bothered for this test not it’s all over.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Half century up for Root.

Hopefully these two can stick around for a while.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Shite shot from Root.

What the fuck is he doing.
