I love how some people put all the blame for that utterly disastrous Ashes tour of 2013/14 on Pietersen's shoulders

Lack of genuine fast bowlers gives away a big advantage imo.

 

[wattle]

280 would be a decent score in here with aus batting last.

 

[jimharri]

Oh, for another 40 runs. Unlikely to happen, but we can dream.

*edit* very unlikely!

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

All out for 258

Looking forward to seeing what Archer can do.

Yes, 258 probably isn't a bad score. An hour to go, and then a day off tomorrow (probably!)

 

[Dr Jacoby]

I fear that's below par. If Australia score over 300, we may well find ourselves 0-2 down.

It will be interesting to see how Archer and Leach perform.

 

[BigOscar]

Given that it seems Smith will get 120 at least, we'll have to knock over the other 10 for about 160 to be level at halfway. Tough ask, but I wouldn't rule out the weather tbh so we just need to stay in it

 

[waspish]

Need wickets tonight

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Warner caught behind but no one appealed. Sigh.

He is out now a broad beauty
