[satty]

Can smith drag us to 180?

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Imagine the millions of dollars lost by Cricket Australia, Fox, and Channel 7 because of these shit pitches/batters

CA lost what 3 million for Perth?

 

[illegaleagle]

Most of our batters had poor series lucky we had Starc, head and Carey to get us over the line

 

[sherb]

after what we're seeing that could be plenty!

I really can't see England crumbling a second time, as much as I would like them to.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

I presume when they prepare for this pitch they were expecting warmer weather, 30+ degrees will come when the test is already finished, 5 coolish days in a row hasn’t help I suppose

 

[Bedi]

every single run is crucial now

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Stepped away for a bit after Weatherald got out and just checked the score

Shit batting or is the pitch a minefield?

 

[Daka]

IF the pitch is still this bad than surely we bowl them out?

 

[Around the Wicket]

The batting isn’t that crap the test should be over in 2 days, the pitch is just garbage

 

[Outtatym]

Who's coming out next summer?

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

I really can't see England crumbling a second time, as much as I would like them to.

On this pitch they will

 

[Duckimus Prime]

I'll keep saying it - it's not the pitch's fault these blokes can't bat with application and/or technique.

There's been a run of former Test bowlers come out and say that the pitch is given by too much help but I guess we should listen to you.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Think khawaja cost himself a farewell test at Sydney. The boxing day test just became his farewell test.

I doubt it. You expecting them to go back to Inglis? Think they’d move him back to opening before they completely leave him out

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

To be fair to Carse, for all the shite he's bowled he has still taken 17 wickets so far this series....

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Think khawaja cost himself a farewell test at Sydney. The boxing day test just became his farewell test.

We've won the series, he'll be there in Sydney

 

[Jimthegreat]

Smith is going ok Green. All you have to do is stay there.

 

[MarcMaverick]

The Saffers will kill us next September and the Kiwis next summer

 

[SSwans2011]

Stepped away for a bit after Weatherald got out and just checked the score

Shit batting or is the pitch a minefield?

Both. Pitch is a minefield but most the wickets have occurred due to shit batting.

 

[danielnajdek]

Isa is annoying af.

 

[Some Idiot]

I hope Green's forward press can negate the movement a little

 

[Topkent]

Not sure what others are watching but this pitch is having huge seam movement.

Sure, shit batting but a lot os going on

So? The **** is wrong with that lol should we get rid of that aswell so batters can just have nice easy straight deliveries to play

 

[mutant20958]

How's his injury recovery going - only reason I didn't mention him

No you're right, ankle still buggered

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

IF the pitch is still this bad than surely we bowl them out?

Or bowl short and they get the runs two down.
More likely we get them 8/70 and then bowl short to make a game of it.

 

[Crankyhawk]

time to go the tonk. commit to your shots instead of half-arsing. give it a chance to fly over the slips.

i can see the Poms going back to a full bazball strategy and it will work today

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

The Saffers will kill us next September and the Kiwis next summer

Maybe we need a good killing to get rid of the deadwood
