[Pakenhamsaint]

Get on the long islands lol

Might need to

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Stop drinking then.

Why would I stop at one pint?

 

[Bedi]

I don’t think it is irrational at all. At the current rate will be within 200 at close. We have done zero this session. Admittedly it is a lot of runs, but this pitch has no gremlins in it at all. We should have batted sensibly and set 500

there was nothing sensible at all about Travis Head's innings of 170, so live by the sword...

 

[HirdyLannister]

England's match to lose

 

[two blue tiger]

Cummins and his defensive tactics infuriate me….

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

This has the makings of them being 2/200 then all out for 230 all over it

If they get to 200 still 2 down than we can start to get a bit twitchy. Long way to go till than

 

[Jimthegreat]

Disappointing session.

 

[ptrg]

F off green

Aaaaand the moron hs cost us an extra over, which was to be Head.

Drop him solely on the past minute alone.

 

[boondy]

Missing by 150 mm

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

England's session

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Green appealed only because he couldn't believe he beat the bat. Most innocuous spell from an Australian for quite some time.

 

[Neese]

Tea perfect time to reassess and mix things up.

 

[philreich]

Add 2 wickets to the score, and see where you're at.

 

[grumbleguts]

A LH batsmen at that level should know to review LBW’s from a RH bowler coming over the wicket.

So you think the batsman should do the f**king umpire's job?

 

[gtrxuone]

Good session from the Poms

 

[Jimthegreat]

Cummins and Boland after tea thanks.

 

[Plugger35]

A good effort from Root and Crawley to make it to tea, if they can make it to stumps England might be a chance.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Add 2 wickets to the score, and see where you're at.

Got to look like adding two wickets first

 

[Bucking Beads]

We will take 5 wickets in the last session I reckon..

 

[Coasters7]

That is quite amazing that you feel that. You probably should see a doctor about these irrationally pessimistic feelings.

If they get within 150, that would be a moral victory.

Issue is that anything within 150 feels like a loss with how we’ve outplayed them.

100 run partnership for the 9th wicket and 5/320 leading by 400 with 2 set batsmen. I get that test cricket swings but those are some ridiculous swings that should have seen them chasing 600+

 

[GreekLunatic]

We should have played neeser might have offered more then green

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Starc will need to find the form of his first 2 tests if both Lyon and Green are unthreatening this innings. He's been slightly off and they have played him much more comfortably, won't take much to change that however.

 

[RandB]

Scary thing is hardly a catching opportunity in this partnership. It is relively risk-free scoring out there.

Poms, 331 runs in 4 sessions to win, possibly subject to a bit of rain. Very doable. We didnt shut the door today and if we lose we deserve it.

 

[philreich]

Got to look like adding two wickets first

Long way to go yet.

No we shouldn’t have. You aren’t playing a bloke in the top 6 for a guy that’s maybe an 8
