Would have been a super catch, but why did we get rid of or third slip? Such field negative placements.

I like the comment on Cricinfo about the lack of a fresh seamer for this match. It's as though we learned nothing from the home India series.

Neser absolutely robbed of a gig IMO.

Can't blame the decision to bowl.

About half a dozen play and misses and both openers dropped.

Good Review!

****en channel 9 twits with the break FFS

 

[InTheWings]

very poor form channel 9

The continuous whinging and complaining from the Soap Dodgers has been almost as good and as amusing as seeing them not reclaim The Ashes.

Such wobbly ego’s and sorry little souls The Poms have.

If they could just find away to export their whinging, then they would have a balance of payments surplus…..maybe India would be a buyer of such a commodity, it’s seems a prized item with their people similarly when discussing all things cricket.

Can’t help but think that continental Europe gave a sigh of relief when the Poms left the .

Part of the Brits problem is that they love rules to justify their self perceived superiority, but they only like enforcing “said rules” if it suits their own narrative.

Nice people on an individual one on one basis, but when they get into the collective “poor us” mentality they go into self destruct mode, as that old saying goes “ nothing fuels disappointment like expectation “, the Poms always expect the rules and the interpretation of such,
to fall their way.

Love that they are now claiming the consolation prize for best team based of moral superiority and more entertaining cricket.

Such atrociously bad luck that they didn’t win the first two tests, ye Gods conspired against them.

Or maybe … just maybe …..they are just too deluded to see the truth.

[BrotherDodge]

Jesus we really could have run through them here

 

[UseR2006]

They are giving us looks all over the place. just got to take them

 

[InTheWings]

Gee, I hate Channel 9 right now.

Pretty sure it was a flat deck last time.
Also now, England love to chase.

It's overcast so will want 3 wickets minimum by lunch hopefully.

Nostradamus strikes.

Gee, I hate Channel 9 right now.

Left the room for 2 minutes and still haven't seen the Crawley wicket.

Left the room for 2 minutes and still haven't seen the Crawley wicket.

Yep. Me too. They have no feel for the game or their viewers.

 

[THE A5]

Alex did a Bairstow. Pitty cause Alex has vastly improved with gloves this series

 

[Feeling Groovy]

Costly drop that by Carey already

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Going to blow a series win through another sloppy, poor fifth test effort. Just like last time. Need to lift.

Retention will paper over plenty of cracks this series. I think we've been really disappointing on the whole, especially with the bat.

Wouldn't have minded a couple from Murphy before lunch to mix it up. Maybe chuck it to him after the break? Won't happen.
