I reckon they’d be ******* big…

This is amazing. Cannot believe what I’m watching. Who knew that Australia were the greatest proponents of Bazball all along? :cool:

We are playing this very well. Obviously the Head wicket was a bad moment but other than that we’re doing exactly what we need to. No need to swing the bat at this point. Just be patient, protect the wicket, put the bad balls away and rotate the strike.

Rubbish from Head. This one ain’t over yet though.

Not sure about the decision to go with Hazlewood. Big call. Let's go!

Going back to this, if anyone has donated please let me know and I will arrange a special badge for you. Any amount is greatly appreciated.

Strange thing to choose to be a dick about, no?

Pretty sure he scored 43 off his final 62 deliveries faced. I'm not sure that's dawdling. Don't you mean Voges? At least make it somewhat relevant to the discussion.

What's any of this got to do with Germany? Strange comment. It's not hindsight if you say it at the time. Absolutely thrilled with the performances over the summer and yes we're very well placed, but that doesn't mean they don't or won't get things wrong along the way.

You're right. If things went differently it could have been a different result. That's fantastic insight! Lots of things could have happened. They didn't. I'm not sure why we're dealing with hypotheticals here? We chased the very unlikely victory. Rightly or wrongly we can debate, but it...

Not really. An extra over or two with the bat wouldn't have changed the result. Yet it may have resulted in a double century. Argue for the team going for the win all you like, but the fact is they shook hands before the end of play.

Called it with 8 overs remaining. 8 wickets short. Confirmed terrible decision to not allow Usman to get to his double century. It was a very poor decision at the time, and so it remains.

Only one decision is likely to result in one or more disgruntled member of the team. I’ll give you as much time as you need to work out which decision that is.

Angry is a stretch. Just clearly place a high value on culture. They may care about it, but it’s a pretty irrelevant “championship”. Reckon they only really care about it because it’s an extra match and they get match payments. If I’m to guess, I’m saying it won’t be around for long in its...

Don’t understand your hostility. Feeling ok?

And if there’s no result? What needs to happen for us to miss?

WTC is completely meaningless. Does anyone actually care about it? And besides, aren't we guaranteed to make the final anyway?

If the weather holds up I'm not ruling out a win. South Africa are terrible. Still doesn't mean the decision to leave Usman stranded isn't a diabolical one. There's not a single valid argument for the declaration. It's a meaningless test.

Unfathomably poor decision. Culture killer.

How many are we likely to take over to England as part of the squad? You'd have to think the XI just about picks itself at this stage, with the reserves mostly up in the air. Warner Burns Khawaja Smith Head Patterson Paine Cummins Starc Lyon Hazlewood / Richardson (with the other also brought...

Well done Australia - terrific score after being sent in. Kudos to Smarsh too, I've been as critical of him as any over the years but that was a wonderful knock. England are hopeless. Hopefully we can rip into them here before stumps.

Wow. This is some performance with the ball.

I know sarcasm, you're just doing it wrong.

Any chance you can take your garbage elsewhere? Reckon you're the only person enjoying your posts.

Terrific innings. Well done Matty :thumbsu:

Yep, my thoughts exactly. I'm sure Zampa will get an opportunity in Sydney at least.

I am a little disappointed we didn't enforce the follow-on there. Anyway, need some quick runs now before another declaration - probably in the last half hour or so before stumps this evening.

Love what Pete has shown over the summer - has made a brilliant start to his test career. There will be far sterner tests to come but he has looked terrific to date. Long career ahead of him, it seems.

I am at a loss as to why we would consider declaring today. Makes zero sense to me.

Great innings from Renshaw - a shame he couldn't go on with it after yesterday, but a terrific knock regardless. We've found one there, for sure. Now hopefully we can see Cartwright spend a bit of time in the middle and score a few. First ball 4? Of course...
