The Ashes 2015

No; I'll say you'll see some cricket (weather permitting) on saturday. Australia can't bat as poorly again as they did yesterday.

Hope so mate. Just thinking there's 71 overs remaining today plus 90 tomorrow so 160 odd overs is a lot of time. It would need 2 cheap second innings totals from both them and us for it to be over tomorrow.

85 ahead now - better than it was looking earlier but I still feel we need a lead of 150 plus as it looks like a nightmare pitch to be batting on last

100 up. These are bonus runs now.

That's an important psychological barrier passed now, the three figure lead. If we can get up to 150 (or even 175) ahead, we'll be in the box seat.

Johnson getting pelters.

Fuck off Australia. Come on England.

I like this from Ali. He's clearly struggling but he's staying commited to his shots and still trying to hog the strike. When you go back into your shell and stop playing your natural game like Buttler did, or Ballance has been doing, that's when you're in real trouble. Got to give yourself a chance to play yourself out of trouble

Ali taking the piss. Love it.

As I posted earlier 270+ should see us in the box seat anything over 300 and Is going to give us a huge advantage, looking good just now :)

Pity, that. Cracking partnership between Broad and Ali.

 

[Don Karleone]

Good effort Ali
