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

[Kennedy Parker]

Fully expect this partnership to get past 350 only for England to fall apart and lose by 70 runs

 

[satty]

Starting to get nervous. Lets finish it with the new ball.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Most sought after trophy in world cricket. How many nations seek it?

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Looking forward to the new ball

Would think Murphy gets the gig if Lyon is proper hurt. Don’t think Kuhnemann is the guy on Australian pitches (I didn’t think he was the guy anywhere to be fair and he more than did his job in India and Sri Lanka). Rocchiccioli should be in the conversation as well

 

[TasSixer]

Get it down to 100 and England become favourites

 

[BarryMorgan]

It is actually ridiculous that our plan is to wait until the new ball and hope that does the trick.

What would you honestly do?

 

[SSwans2011]

The captain better bowl some absolute gems, because if not, he's completely *ed this by allowing the first session to be a soft as * saunter for the Poms.

Bloody hell, chill out. I think you might be forgetting the 1 in the 168 England need to win.

 

[SparklingAle69]

Here we go.

 

[Big Bryza]

All throughout the series, this kind of momentum patches for England have been precludes for them to shit the bed.

They'll lose 4 fa fcuk all in the next hour of play.

 

[cats_09]

McSweeney for Green?


Any logic in that.

Nope

Also not sure McSweeney will be available

 

[The King!]

Cummins always waits and does the patient thing and it looks shit then works out

 

[imagifED]

England would be kicking themselves. If they only batted with some brains for once and got to last night say 4 down.

 

[Jimthegreat]

What a disgraceful session of captaincy.

 

[Burtonsgottago]

What would your plan be. Pitch flat, ball doing nothing and people are upset we haven’t taken 4 wickets in an hour

Yeah, you’re right.. this is great

 

[Bucking Beads]

New ball wickets would be nice here. Like 4 of them

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Will this ball swing?

 

[Big Bryza]

Lol if we don't take a wicket or 2 in the next 5 overs we're stuffed. This pitch is dead.

Fair bloody dinkum. There are no words.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Where are they getting up?

They've taken the cricketing version of the blue pill

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Why have we not got Webster in a catching position

 

[satty]

These 2 are well set and are in the mood to score. Need to target 4th stump line and draw the edge

 

[dumb]

160 behind with the best bat still in the shed. My sphincter is loosening.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Anyone starting to stress?

Not yet, but if these two get within 120, then yes.

 

[Big Bryza]

It is actually ridiculous that our plan is to wait until the new ball and hope that does the trick.

Bowling Gaz was fair call.

There was simply no reason for Green to bowl ahead of Boland.

Green offers nothing with bat or ball. Send him back to the Big Bash asap.

 

[TasSixer]

If Patt is bowling then holding back Boland was stupid

 

[Plugger35]

If these two can get through these new ball spells then it's game on.
