Time to drop Paine

 

[Donakebab]

Placements included, when's the last time we turned in a fielding effort this horrendous?

 

[dumb]

They have enough already. Australia aren’t going to even bother trying to chase.

warner to play his natural game

 

[SSwans2011]

smith confident he will be in for next test

Source?

 

[BlueBayou]

or after he gets out?

That was yesterday, a couple of times

Turns it into an ODI on a day 5 pitch. Fair game to whoever wins. Don’t know whether Root would risk going 2-0 down though. Especially with Smith in doubt for the next test.

I'm perplexed that anyone thinks we're going to chase 230 (as it is now) or more. It's either an England win or a draw.

 

[Wolfs]

Woakes not wearing pads? :O

 

[Freoforever86]

Looks like they might declare after stokes ton

 

[corbies]

Well if that isnt a sign they'll declare in 3 overs.

 

[yakka man]

 

[010203]

They're going for it now.

Both teams can win a odi no way we can chase it down.

 

[SSwans2011]

Well if that isnt a sign they'll declare in 3 overs.

I thought he meant approximately 3 hours until the end of the match.

 

[showusyacunningt]

*in get 'im out

 

[Wolfs]

How did he do that in such perfect placement?

 

[Visions]

Australia to be 3-10 after 5 overs.

 

[SSwans2011]

Warner -85 runs for the series. Reminds me of myself when I played.

 

[frankrizzo]

Two overs left after this england showed their hand, just slow it down now.

 

[Visions]

fu**in get im out

They did yesterday. Just didn’t bother reviewing.

 

[omarlittle1]

Insipid bowling and fielding display today. Bitterly disappointing.

 

[corbies]

Hazlewood is the most hittable bowler. You can see why he didn't play the World Cup.

 

[samFFC]

Give Stokes singles and save another over of batting

 

[cows]

The fielding has been the biggest let down of this series - fair enough if your out of form with the bat or get a few good ones... we've let ourselves down in the field big time and its cost us serious runs

 

[frankrizzo]

Source?

What would it matter?

A bloke with concussion has no idea whether he is ok.

 

[showusyacunningt]

England should've tempted us with 220. We might've lost a few early wickets setting that up. No way they dismiss us playing purely for the draw.
