Really should declare now. This is plenty.

Edit: ah I guess another 10 mins of Smith and Warner fireworks won't hurt.

 

[Cousin Jed]

Nah grind em into the dust. We've picked an attack to attack so give em plenty of scope that they can be hit for runs

I would have declared by now, are they trying to get to 500 or the 1 hour before tea mark maybe

 

[Hollow Knight]

Newlands is up there with Adelaide Oval and St Vincent's in terms of great settings for a cricket ground. Table Mountain in the background looks spectacular.

not sure what they are waiting for now, lead is 500, u need plenty of time to bowl to these saffas as all of them can bat for very long periods of time,

 

[scott_the_man]

Pretty crap attitude to have really

why ? we had plenty of wickets in the shed and 400 run lead. he was striking at less than 50%. much better off to have someone like watson in..

 

[scott_the_man]

cool mate.

I know you have a man crush on doolan and all.. but sometines you gotta realise whats better for the team at this stage of the game

You can say you're glad Watson is in or that you think he should have gone out before then but celebrating an Australian wicket especially when the guy is 3 tests into his career and playing for his spot almost every innings is pretty poor form. Incredible amount of disrespect. Worse than celebrating an injury to an opposition player

I agree that playing Doolan was probably not the best idea in the situation. As Fatcat said, it is disrespectul to celebrate the dismissal of an aussie wicket in only his 3rd test.

lighten up dude . It was a good thing for the team that he got out. The run rate doubled after he got out

 

[Hollow Knight]

[a mayes ing]

I feel sorry for the fans going to watch tomoro. 8 hours of deadbatting.

 

[jackess]

Are the Aussies really this good? Other countries just s**t themselves when we get on a good run.

Both teams are excellent frontrunners, we were no different in Test 2.

 

[a mayes ing]

not looking good if a guy like Abbot is able to comfortable block out our best pacemen.

 

[SizeMatters]

Well Abbott is conservative...

 

[a mayes ing]

about effing time.

 

[Bucking Beads]

This is going to be extremely tough for our bowlers.

Nathan Lyon does not look threatening one bit. He keeps going around the wicket when he should be going over the wicket where the ruff is. He will never beccome a great spinner if he limits himself to this.
