Test The Ashes Fifth Test January 4-8 1000hrs @ The SCG

[010203]

Aren't they just using the Fox feed though with their own studio presenters?

They've got their own commentators here.

 

[Permission Capable]

It was shaving leg stump and could well have bowled him if his leg wasn't in the way.

Nonsense. Idiot.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Potts was seen as a bowler who could come in and play a holding role but he is coming off the back of a very poor county season. Fisher was the only other alternative seamer in the squad

Didn’t realise how out of form he was. Has looked ok in some of the Tests I’ve seen of him

29 wickets at 42.2 in the County season. Yikes!

Travis needs 1 for 500 runs in the series.

 

[Plugger35]

Please take Topley regards every Thunder fan

I might have been stretching it with Topley but Overton and Curran look like better bowlers than Potts and they can bat as well.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

500 runs for the series for Head.

 

[Moonwatcher]

I assumed Root would have been the leading run scorer after today. He goes a little bit bigger with his centuries.

 

[MarcMaverick]

500 runs up in the series for Trav. Nice work

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Probably only 20 mins before stumps

Bad light is coming

 

[Gethelred]

If you go out cutting after this start Marnus, I'll never forgive you.

 

[western royboy]

It's not though - English broadcaster TNT Sports is here covering this series for an English audience.

And apparently doing a right total shit job of it

 

[icyflakes]

If these two stick around til end of play (which is looking to be very close) that's demoralising for the poms.

Now I say that, watch a collapse begin.

 

[Duckimus Prime]

I assumed Root would have been the leading run scorer after today. He goes a little bit bigger with his centuries.

One score of 39 where's he's gone past 20 outside of the two centuries.

And Head scored 170 at Adelaide. Bigger than Root's effort today, but Root's Brisbane century was a bit larger than Head's Perth one.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I might have been stretching it with Topley but Overton and Curran look like better bowlers than Potts and they can bat as well.

The one I’m surprised hasn’t had chances is actually Sam Curran. Nice lefty so a point of difference and can bat so could easily bat him at say 9 behind Jacks

 

[Joffaboy]

And apparently doing a right total shit job of it

Heard pommy's at home are muting it and syncing TMS from radio

 

[eltrain]

Sweet cover drive that

 

[Moonwatcher]

Now I say that, watch a collapse begin.

You realise you can delete posts right? Or not even post them

 

[MarcMaverick]

Marn, will need a lot of painkillers.

 

[Moonwatcher]

How often do people choose to not make a post due to the risk of jinxing the team?

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Potts isn't much good

 

[Plugger35]

Any pressure that Tongue and Stokes created has been released as soon as Potts and Carse came back on to serve up more pies.

They may as well give Jacks and Root a bowl, they couldn't be any worse.

 

[PhatBoy]

I'm sure you'll remember an infamous test at home for England v Sri Lanka when Freddie as captain bowled himself into the ground and it did a lot of damage in the long term.

It's a tracker of heart rate etc. All cricketers and footy players wear them nowadays.

Spot on.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Marn, will need a lot of painkillers.

Travis can supply the diet of beers

That will help

 

[sherb]

I assumed Root would have been the leading run scorer after today. He goes a little bit bigger with his centuries.

394 runs in the series, 298 of them in two innings.

Root is injured off the field back spasms.
