Stayed very low that, not jumping on Duckett for it

 

[meeesh]

So; the last 4 Aussie wickets added 182 runs. Will our last four* do that?



*Or even the first four?

The whole team?

Stinker of a ball to get that, no chance Duckett.

2 wickets down by the close of play is the worse we should be! Pope with his experience should think stay in play dead bat for rest of the day! We have to make the Aussies bowlers bowl a lot of overs

so the flat track is full of demonds now

This feels like watching those other horrible things to see in sport now.

Being 10 frames behind at the Crucible and stuck in your seat, seeing the oppositions cars 4 laps ahead at Le Mans etc.

It's not technically over but the flicker of flame is almost out...

Every ball seems it’s doing something

First time we’ve seen a new ball at dusk. It’s going to be really tough.

Pope isn’t lasting long here.

Pope isn’t lasting long here.

He needs a lot of luck

That’s Crawley a great shot bowler balls outside the stumps wafts at it and got lucky! If he can just leave them balls after a four he would get a lot more runs!

Crawley gets a 150+ here for me he can stay in the side for the next 2 years!

It’s around 25/1 for me it’s 150/1

 

[heslops barnet]

Typical Pope

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Every ball to Pope seemed to be a gnats cock away from getting him out. Never settled at all

 

[dadnlad]

get on plane

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Stupid

 

[waspish]

Pope the wanker he can’t block like the majority of our batsman get the fcuking bowlers tired for godsake! Now you can’t expect root to get a big score now!

 

[waspish]

Pope “I liked to get past the first 20 balls” yeah for what purpose to play a shitty shot when in!? Our problem is whoever comes in will play the same! Cant wait for Brook to come in and throw his bat at a wide ball!
