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

[Westend]

No excuses for our top order not to cash in here.

Should be looking at least a 350 lead going into the final innings, if not 400.

lets just get to the break none down first

Would have taken that score yesterday, but honestly they are right back in this…

I think the Archer-Stokes partnership indicates how good this deck is for batting right now, we should be able to put them out of the game here I'd say.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Really think Usman should be opening whilst in the side. Push Head to 4.

As the anchor role.

 

[Coasters7]

I mean, we're comfortably ahead in the game with the best of the conditions, and a 2-0 lead.

You're not going to win every single hour of a test series, we can probably settle down. This isn't even at all.

FWIW, England are currently paying $6 for the win.

Yeah not saying it’s even currently but this was over as a contest last night as opposed to now having the door slightly ajar if they bowl well.

 

[1990crow]

Completely blew a massive lead

I hope nobody's doing a "wrist snap" drinking game at home

Nah, just a quick wrist snap during the change of innings.

Really think Usman should be opening whilst in the side. Push Head to 4.

Still think he will struggle with pace. Getting him in the middle when the bowlers have slowed a bit from their initial spell helps him

 

[Bedi]

At 0/92 we're in a pretty good spot here.

 

[ams4crows]

Honestly getting stokes out saved us an extra 40 - 50 runs so everyone say thankyou to Starc

 

[dogs105]

Come on extras

 

[Struggle]

Did Langer just claim Archer batted for a long time yesterday?

Why are they babying this guy like he's the only one to ever face fatigue

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Please just get to lunch

 

[Substance]

We get through 10 overs and it's fill ya boots time. I think Stokes & Archer are fkd

Hard to bowl an innings in international cricket without at least one partnership showing resistance.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I see we continue to suck bowling to the tail

Should I ask how bad we bowled?

 

[Rocco sifreddi]

Horrible over

 

[MarcMaverick]

E. X. Tras the highest scorer for the Aussies ATM.

 

[JackFlash]

We have left the door wide ope now, this match is not over by a long shot. Australia will have to bat extremely well and set England a total of beyond 400. The Poms are quite capable of chasing down 300-350, so the ball is in Australia's court?

 

[10Dulkar]

If England had lost Root an hour before the game and secured an 85-run lead on first innings, they'd be handing out knighthoods like confetti.

 

[dogs105]

Bizarre KFC ad. Who the **** is eating greasy fried chicken at the cricket when it's 30 plus degrees. Would much rather a scone

maybe but I would rather just bat normally all day and fill in ya boots tomorrow

 

[fuic08]

The Ben Stokes glazing is nauseating.

Surprised he doesn't have the new ball so he can limp and grimace a bit more
