Test The Ashes Third Test December 17-21 1000hrs @ The Adelaide Oval

[Pistol Night]

Ouch Jacks landed on the ball there. Very painful

I fell asleep on the couch on top of the remote once. Had to take the next day off work

Remote corkies are no joke

Starc averaging 48 with the bat and Boland 35 with the bat this series

500 is on

Depends how we approach the rest of the innings. Hit out and get out or knuckle down.england are having a good period of consistent bowling ATM

 

[Golumless]

Completely fair, but England will play for the draw if they can. They're all about savouring the small victories and that would be huge for them to bat out the test.

Let me quote Ben Duckett "I am more comfortable in my reverse sweep, then I am in my forward defense". If this team tries to play for the draw, they'll be rolled in two hours.

There are a couple that can hold on for a while, but stonewalling provides a different set of pressure than playing attacking cricket. England is a team that has to risk dying by the sword to have a chance to salvage something from this test. Doable, they're having a good morning.

You wouldn’t want him in the trenches when things are tough that’s for sure

Jofra? Stokes would be at the Aid Station feigning trench foot.

What's the obsession with the Fox Cricket team actively barracking for England.

Does their feed go back to the UK through Sky Sports or something?

If anyone's gonna chase down 450 it'll be a team who picked 8 batsmen, 3 bowlers and no wicket-keeper...

Only because he can reverse sweep a yorker

 

[Jimthegreat]

Inglis, Green and one of Weatherald/Khawaja out.

Neither of the last two out. Inglis out for Smith, Webster in for Green, Renshaw in for Marnus. Ussie bats at 5.

 

[Daka]

We should declare I want 5-0, there is no chance they are chasing 350 let alone 400+

 

[grumbleguts]

To be fair, stokes had to do a lot of lifting. He has essentially been the only reliable English player this series.He was probably drained from the batting in the first innings.

He pulled a heartstring. Most common English injury ever.

England and every single other country that has rolling around on the ground like a Parkinson's victim on fire as their national sport pretend they are injured. Australians pretend they aren't.

Proberly the producer telling them to talk the game up

 

[kozi]

With Inglis surely gone from the team, I wonder if any of the sandgropers who incessantly screeched "INGLIS WOULDVE" for years are feeling they are wrong now? Or are they just going to shift the goal posts?

Has moved to Webster would’ve

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Let's just get to 450.

Ye, that's the aim in the short term, reassess after that.

Does their feed go back to the UK through Sky Sports or something?

Maybe. All I know is that Gilly, Brett Lee and Kerry have been annoying af to listen to.

Want to sound unbiased and also want a good contest.

 

[ptrg]

i want Webster and Green in the side. Having Ussie open with Head would allow us that luxury.

I'd be open to that (assuming its a dead rubber last 2)- but last last lucky last chance for Green in that scenario

Would be spoilt for choice in the bowling department, and Slug is the perfect 7 from what we've seen. Can score but also a rock when we have a collapse to that far down

“Only averages 35”

Want the undecided to keep watching. Like footy commentators saying that a team still has a chance 5 goals down with 6 minutes to go.

 

[Jimthegreat]

Never looked comfortable.

 

[kozi]

Another 2 grand on England

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

I would hit out now, Starc farm the strike a d hit boundaries if he can.

 

[Neese]

Let's see how Green bowls first

 

[GreekLunatic]

it was funny hearing tuffers talking about the English fielding i do believe tuffers wasn't a fielding expert
