2017/18 Summer of Cricket

Marsh for PM!

 

[estibador]

This could be an innings win the way things are shaping up.

 

[Purpletown]

The fat lady may not be singing yet but she is warming up her vocal cords as England trail by 215 runs after the first innings.

 

[Jezzitizle]

Really swinging out there tonight.

Khawaja always look like he's just had some bad news.

 

[MadDocker]

Tight one there. Ball really moving around. I reckon if the Aussies had enforced the follow on we'd be almost game over by now...

 

[Steinfreo]

Oh gosh

 

[Righteo]

Smith gone this time. oh boy.

 

[estibador]

Crazy little session there. Legit felt like 90% of the deliveries were beating the outside edge.

 

[ydraw]

I know it's team policy not to enforce the follow on but surely the circumstances warranted it on this occasion. Day Night test with a full night session to bowl at them.

Pretty dumb by us.

The plan must be to bat all day tomorrow and decalre just as it is getting dark so they have that full session to bowl at them tomorrow.

Means the test will go to the 5th day....

Its more about wanting to rest the bowlers.ever since vvs laxman carted us in India we've never seen the follow on as a big advantage

 

[free at last]

Makes for an exciting test when the bowlers can get the ball swinging around like this.

Be great if they could get the white ball to behave & last like the red ball.

We need a couple of good partnerships now... would be nice to see Lyon frustrate them and these two put on a fifty partnership. Marsh scoring 50 plus would be the cherry on top.

Watch Marsh get out cheaply in this innings and the East Coast media start running him down again.

I am a patriotic West Australian and the moment Marsh stops scoring runs, which will undoubtedly be soon, I hope they drop him straight away.
He has an entire career of unreliability as evidence, it's not an eastern states media conspiracy. He's only even playing because they didn't want to carry too much of an inexperienced batting line up (look at the Poms. 3 of the top 6 with no experience is too many in an important series).

Solid start by the Poms

If they can survive the night seasons, who knows..

Getting borderline debacle right about now. They will polish off most the runs before we even get the new ball tomorrow.

He made a fool of you, get over it.

Smith stuffed this match should of bowled again last night

 

[wayToGo_]

Time to bring in our secret weapon Roberton?

 

[Paracleet]

What are you talking about? I posted that after not before. Is there some post I made in the thread before he made the hundred where I ranted about how it was mad rubbish and he'd get a pair and I don't remember it?

 

[Kram]

There's a bloke currently in the side batting at 5 backed up against the stumps as if he's wearing lead boots and swinging a tooth pick for a bat and peanuts are still worried about Marsh after possibly winning the game for Australia.

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

Pretty anti-climactic in the end
