Nothing like a nice beam ball to wake you up when batting

Huh. So this is what it feels like to be on the other end of this.

Rain has now cost both teams a win, shake hands and come home series winners imo

 

[UseR2006]

Apparently it's only light rain and likely to favor batting as it'll kill the little swing that was there and make batting easier.

Doesn't it set it up perfectly for tomorrow if there's no further play today?

From Cricinfo... strange stuff.

Fantastic from those two. Makes me wish it didn't rain to see how far they could go while they were in that mood.

On the flip side, it reduces the time for England to get 10 wickets, which is the only way we don't win the series.

Would love to see them win 3-1 but there's a long way to go, of they can get in again and make their bowlers work over time they should go in as favourites.

That ball change was interesting after Uzzi got sconed. The replacement was so obviously much newer. Came off the bat nicely but there was more pace and a bit of swing too.

Woods clearly injured even if England won't admit it.

Major League Cricket final was a blast. Pooran 137* from 55 with 13 sixes!

Bet that poo ran for the bowlers that had to try and combat that too

"These were tactics Cummins employed at different times during the series, and while they were dubious ploys, the question applies: "Why did senior players allow him to continue using such repetitive tactics that weren't working?" "

Don't give me that crap, Chappelli. I can imagine your reaction to the suggestion that senior players 'allow' the captain to do anything if it was presented as a hypothetical, but when it's your crush, Pat, well.

England have forced Australia to change their tactics, but selection errors have cost them

The home team have admirably prioritised run-scoring and wicket-taking, making Pat Cummins go defensive

Damn that was a hard read. A total lack of any coherent points being made, just a jumbled word salad.

How's this purler?:
I liken captaincy to a computer - others can provide an input, but it's the captain who has to make the final decision.

You what mate?

My favourite was-

" England have been good this winter, my bicycle trod in an esky hat last Tuesday."

Hate it when that happens

Especially on Tuesdays, it's the worst!

Name a better combo than Warner and getting out from nothing shots.

 

[Feeling Groovy]

This change of ball…

 

[matthew_s]

usual service has resumed lads.

 

[THE A5]

The rain did us more than anything last night. Was in control and reckon those two could have got the deficit down to 150 odd by end of days plays. Now they not only had to start all over again but conditions change

 

[ep2018]

Rain ****ed us over, gave their bowlers a rest and ruined our sync

Bit ironic after rain saved us last test. All square

It's the second new ball that's done us

wasn't even a new ball, it was a replacement that was definitely not the same quality as the one they removed after it his Kawajas helmet.
