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

[Cmarsh]

50/50 game now. England with their tails up

Why would it be a 50/50 chance if a total this high has never been chased down before?

 

[satty]

Will be very surprised if England get to 200. Their top order are ripe for a collapse on this day 4 pitch.

 

[Back Pocket Rocket]

We have too many passengers in the batting lineup.

This is not on Starc, Cummins and Boland.

It’s on Weatherald, Green and Inglis.

Don't forget Bus Change

 

[philreich]

This Toyota ad with McGrath is embarringly cringe

Almost makes Married at First Sight seem bearable (I did say almost).

 

[Rowd072]

This morning was a good sign for Australia. I thought the pitch had variable bounce and plenty off the seam. England won't last long.

 

[RandB]

Duckett is due for a score.

 

[Osho]

Inglis or Inglese?
Suspect loyalty.
Off with baggy green.

 

[Jimthegreat]

If we can lose 6-78 this morning, England are absolutely no chance of getting to 430

Last 6 for 38.

 

[Bedi]

Will be very surprised if England get to 200. Their top order are ripe for a collapse on thia day 4 pitch.

if they are 0/100 everyone will be losing their minds on here

 

[Kennedy Parker]

434 is more than enough, if they pull off one of the all time greatest chases then hats off to them.

Even at Headingley with a freak Stokes innings and various bottle jobs from us they were only chasing 359.

Here they are batting against Cummins, Starc, Boland and Lyon on a day 5 pitch. Will need their best innings of the series just to get within 100.

 

[Plugger35]

Winviz being generous giving England a 12% chance of winning.

 

[satty]

if they are 0/100 everyone will be losing their minds on here

Just means they will lose 10/99

 

[ptrg]

England's only real chance is if Starc and Cummins collide in the field and sit out the rest of the game

 

[Mr Meow]

Why would it be a 50/50 chance if a total this high has never been chased down before?

This guy has tipped against Hawthorn in 48 of their last 50 matches. It's his superstitious routine.

 

[philreich]

Duckett is due for a score.

0 is still a score.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

This Toyota ad with McGrath is embarringly cringe

The new Toyota Legendary Moment Series is pure shit. The one with Heath Shaw is equally as painful.

 

[JimmyBC]

Was so dumb this morning don’t blame Trav but as a bat (and Carey) your job should be to get to the new ball.

Poor today we’ve let them back in the game through dumbness

They need a world record score to win the match jeezus are you ever happy?

 

[juice t]

if they are 0/100 everyone will be losing their minds on here

I think you mean 0/10

 

[Scorpus]

0-0 this pitch is an absolute road

 

[troybe]

From an England perspective it’s a juicy run chase for them

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

No wicket in first over.

Delist

 

[Kennedy Parker]

The relentless marketing campaign of ECB must be working to some extent.

Some on here are concerned about us protecting 434 in the 4th innings despite the overwhelming evidence across the first 2.5 tests that Bazball in fact, does not work against a quality bowling attack.

 

[dumb]

It's a total they aren't supposed to reach, therefore all the more reason they go down swishing or perform a test cricket saving Christmas miracle.

 

[JackFlash]

Disappointing morning, to and froms need a record score to do it. Aussies should've got 500 in front though!

 

[Golumless]

About two sessions too late?

I'd say so. That bowling had to happen when they got Green instead of Head/Carey taking control.

400+ on day 4-5 test during a exceedingly hot test match is a near-impossible chase.

434 is more than enough, if they pull off one of the all time greatest chases then hats off to them.

Even at Headingley with a freak Stokes innings and various bottle jobs from us they were only chasing 359.

Here they are batting against Cummins, Starc, Boland and Lyon on a day 5 pitch. Will need their best innings of the series just to get within 100.

Yup, if they do it, give them their flowers for pulling off what would be one of the greatest run chases in test cricket.
