1st Test: England vs Australia [Match Thread] - Umpiring/DRS in other thread (cont in Pt.2)

[TheStinger]

Ever since lunch, Hughes has been going at about a run a ball. He's finally got himself in I think.

 

[Nankervis brothers]

To be fair, the longer these guys bat the more worried I get about the pitch.

We aren't going to be able to chase down anything substantial in the fourth innings. Are still going to need something very special from the bowlers in order to win this match.

I am worried about the exact same thing. We need this partnership and a great bowling spell from someone (on a track clearly in its 'flat period') to remain a chance.

Still, this is very enjoyable to watch.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Stop hogging the strike Hughes.

 

[Noobz0r]

Great chant against broad, Aussies have been a serious presence so far in this test!

 

[Kayaz]

still 21 overs to the new ball, if these guys can stay could be a match winning partnership

 

[BornPort]

Better then a run a ball too.

LOL!

I just can't believe the maturity of this innings. Hitting the ones that are there to be hit, and respecting the good ones.

I hope some of our other "batsmen" are watching.

Tis amazing. He's just so still, watches the ball.

 

[HBF]

I hope Swann doesn't come on.

Agar will hit him into the stands again.

 

[thecatattack]

Best call of the night , Watson 1st on that list

Bring in Khawaja.

 

[Dipper]

This is getting silly now.

 

[TheWoodenSlug]

Very good, mature knock here from Hughes as well, which will unfortunately be lost in the Agar hype.

That said - AGAR!!

 

[Maddhew]

Just got back out of bed

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Bring in Khawaja.

but I want him in for Cowan

Nah it won't be. This pitch is an absolute road.

 

[grizzlym]

Are they closing on the world record for the 10th wicket?

Only Ashton has that capability

 

[Beetlebum]

Starting to remind me of the day Dizzy and Pidge took the piss out of the Kiwis at the Gabba.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Usually I am nervous. I just know this kid will continue on.

He's solid as a rock

 

[Flawed Genius]

Are they closing on the world record for the 10th wicket?

151. They're at 130-odd.

Cowan to open and Khawaja for rogers. (Depending on his 2nd inning score)
