Wont matter, rain will wash this test out day 3 onward.

I did hear the forecast of heavy storms over the weekend.

 

[Ochre]

where are all the campaigners who jumped on me when i said green was playing himself out of his spot in the team last test???

Green got injured

 

[Keys]

Carey getting booed

Score a run a ball 50+ son

I think I have figured out the root of England's fielding troubles.

Drop Warner, Head to open, Marsh in at 5

Head has looked so average this innings. Keeps poking and prodding at balls that he should leave

also seems incapable of batting to the conditions / grinding if it's the smart thing to do.

Green got injured

no shit. for the best and he might find it hard making his way back into the team, at least in the (very) short term.

Be interesting to see how we bowl on this pitch

It’s doing a bit

 

[happy_eagle]

Starc should bowl well here

Nah Green is a genuine 140km+ bowler who is pretty handy with the bat .

Marsh keeps breaking down especially when he is bowling

Bolands kind of wicket

and Green doesnt break down when he's bowling?

Anyway, be hard to drop Marsh for the 4th test. I'd imagine the only way Green comes back in is if we dont play Murphy.

Given that rain is expected on Day 3, and England need to win to stay any chance of retaining the Ashes, what sort of attacking play are we going to see for the rest of the day and tomorrow

Runs scored off the bat in Australia 1st innings :

Mitch Marsh 118
The rest 122

Costly drop by Joe Root

Looks like this is going to be a spicy pitch. ENG 2/22

 

[matthew_s]

Cameron who?

 

[Mop]

Evenly poised here. Nice

I love the 9now app showing full session replays, just wish they'd add a button like → = skip 10 seconds.

Watching session 3 now, although I have seen the scorecard already.

Really disappointing from Marnus and Smith who both looked in control, Usman just got a great ball, the others didn't. Root dropped Marsh though so overall we could have been screwed big time.

Early on I'd have taken 250+ so I can't complain, especially with 3 wickets before close. However, that collapse at the end was really bad.

Head played so well with Bison in the sense that he never looked great but always managed to get the form player on strike, read the room and realised he wasn't the aggressor and didn't need to be, so overall not bad. Shame he couldn't take over when Bison got out but not a bad innings.

Everyone before and after, pretty average.

I think the Poms have their noses in front, just.

Losing 6/23 at the end might cost us.
Need a few in the first hour today.

The poms got some serious reverse swing after the 45 over .

Hopefully we can weather the middle overs and skittle them .

I've never understood the hatred that MM gets' from the public.
Regardless if people think he's a spud or not, he just looks like a sensational fella.
