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

[Crankyhawk]

Fair enough. I don't really care about what happens, selection wise, post this test match; right now I only really care that we win - or at least don't lose - this test. And Green's made a decent contribution with the bat to help us achieve that, I reckon.

If he has a bad second innings with the ball and does nothing special with the bat in the second innings, I couldn't care less if he gets axed.

Yes I score greens batting today as neither reducing nor increasing the pressure on him

 

[Shifty1]

That'll do pigs.

 

[Andrew Mc]

8 overs behind Stokesy - poor effort mate

And that's probably with an extra 30 minutes?

 

[kenneje]

7-518 and one of the wickets was the night watchmen.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Webster making Green redundant in one batting innings.

3/96 is not a session win for England

Yeah we took 3-110 odd yesterday and they gave the session to England.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Easier to bat now than on day 5.

Would be crazy to declare before session 3 tomorrow.

Get as much of a lead as possible and back cartel 2.0 to bowl them out.

It won't get to session 3, lunch tomorrow at the latest. By than we will be 600, more than enough of a lead christ.

‘As it stands, there is no fielding coach or wicketkeeping mentor, while David Saker, the bowling consultant, is on a short-term deal.’

From the Guardian last week.

I'm not sure if its better or worse to not have a wicketkeeping coach when you don't pick proper wicketkeepers.

Let’s go Slug Day 4 go big!

[brutus76]

Well batted lads!

 

[GreekLunatic]

we scored at a good rate

 

[PhatBoy]

Why does Fox Footy suck off the Barmy Army so much, just braindead football hooligans who sign about themselves. They spoil the summer.

I could be wrong but I think there’s a massive discrepancy between the sort of people who are football hooligans and the type that are dedicated English cricket fans even if they do like a beer and singing songs like their lower-class 11-man-game brethren

Did Smudge just get something yelled at him? He was pretty upset about something and yelling at security as he was getting his kit off

 

[Pistol Night]

That'll do pigs.

Next minute a piglet with “Plugger” runs up the SCG race like the good old days

As long as they’re serious about this stuff !

Sheesh. My local cricket club has more coaches than this.

Getting his kit off?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Least we get the annual “when will we declare” dribble

 

[icyflakes]

Getting his kit off?

Not the full slug, just the gloves and pads

 

[Permission Capable]

Great anchor by web. We bat deep.

Even Bowland at 11 can be a pain to get out.

Who cares it’s shit.

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Huge day from the ever reliable Trav and Smudge. Get a lead of 280 and declare after lunch.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Scotty thinking of his first test 50 tomorrow

 

[ams4crows]

I wonder which epl clubs the barmy army follow

They are probably Championship or League one and two types,
