Test The Ashes Second Test December 4-8 1430hrs @ The Gabba

[MJG14]

Dross over.

 

[Visions]

Boggles the mind how the Ausdies have always bowled short rubbish to the tail for a very very long time now.

 

[Xtreme]

Batsman’s paradise against an old pink ball against a second rate attack? He’s scored far better

If it was a batsmens paradise Bazball would be 0/750 by now, feasting on Starc's pies

 

[ams4crows]

What a trash over, you know they are in T20 mode so adjust your bowling ffs

 

[Doggy]

Good stuff Australia

 

[TigerCraig]

19 off an over, absolute filth

 

[cats_09]

Is the shit bowling also a tactic - the further they hit the ball, the more we've got to chase it and waste time in doing so...

 

[Jeremy Jordan]

Why would they? Jofra can bat and he just smashed a six.

You are spot on here

 

[TY24]

Yeah, batting looks tough Davey…

You dolt.

Looks easy against a 70 over old ball when they're deliberately bowling shit to avoid taking a wicket

Batting against a new ball right now would be horrific

 

[freo_leo29]

It's 80

Googled it, changed to 80 in 2023 but it seems we have to bowl em out and we get screwed if they declare instead

Looks like they aren't gonna declare

 

[damicky]

 

[SC_Power]

what would be interesting is if they bat to stumps…

.. And keep batting tomorrow morning. Archer isn’t a bunny.

This could backfire if not careful

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

That over alone justifies not declaring

These are handy runs in what feels (early days I know) like being a middle/lowish scoring close game

 

[MisterMarcus]

England psyched us into thinking they wanted to declare, then belting 20 an over off us because we're just going through the motions....

 

[Mac Chappy]

We’re ****ed when Starc retires

 

[Plugger35]

England are giving it some humpty Botham style.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

That’s 19 easy runs

 

[Doggy]

If it was a batsmens paradise Bazball would be 0/750 by now, feasting on Starc's pies

So you have no idea about cricket as well as football. Kudos.

 

[Spirit Level]

God we love leaking runs at the end don't we.

Ffs just bowl it full and wide till stumps you dumb campaigners

 

[Southerntakeover]

Australia and leaking runs to the number 11. Iconic duo.

 

[Coasters7]

Root getting a cheap ton topping the day off

 

[Dixie Flatline]

They're not declaring tonight, Davey. Hate to break it to you.

 

[Kapow!!!]

 

[catstorm]

****ing garbage

 

[Gethelred]

... one one hand, this is smart if you squint; you're offering them extra runs as bait to extend their innings.

On the other, you're gifting them around 50 more than they deserve to get.
