Don't know which commentator it was who said it, maybe Hayden:

"These two are batting like their lives depend on it. Or even their careers."

Think it was Zempalis.

 

[Hojuman]

Look at that run rate: 2.03 !

Beautiful............

 

[Hearts to hearts]

God, I love test cricket. (I have to hang around here because no-one in my house gets it.)

Hahaha

 

[Hojuman]

Little 20/20 cameo here Maxy !

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Kholi mouthing off to Maxwell. It will be the last thing he does this series, if he wasn't pretending he hurt his shoulder.

 

[Arden]

Hahaha

Is Shaun a North supporter as well as Mitch?

Or do we get the s**t brother yet again?

 

[giantroo]

Damn it Maxwell.

 

[Mav]

Damn it Maxwell.

He's not a test batsman!!

How many overs left?

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Damn it Maxwell.

No stress. If we lose 4/0, there won't be any time left after the 10 minute changeover.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

If we lise 4 wickets this over. They'll have 4 overs to get the runs

 

[tazaa]

Geez how long left?

 

[giantroo]

Geez how long left?

18 Mins

 

[LuvtheKangas]

Smith should declare now and make them bat for 2 overs.

Would teach that juvenile prick a lesson.

 

[giantroo]

Match drawn.

This series has been fun
The timezone makes it so its a primetime spectacle

Bring on the decider

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Well done, Peter Hanscomb.

 

[astrovic]

So Marsh has been our best batsmen in 2 of the 6 innings so far on tour. 1 of 3 batsmen to score more than 50 twice. Can the haters stop hating?

No.

Or to put it another way - no.

 

[giantroo]

 

[Groucho]

Great effort for a draw. Been a while since we've batted through a day and a bit to save a game. Plaudits to Handscomb and S.Marsh!

 

[LuvtheKangas]

Kudos to Shaun Marsh, he did what few of us expected him to do today.

Kept himself in the team and let's hope that going forward he can optimise the return on his undoubted talent, something he's generally failed to do but did so well today.

Those who denied his crap prior to this innings (1 acceptable innings in 5 goes) can now bask in the glow of patting themselves on the back. Though I bet even you guys didn't expect him to produce today.

And whilst I'm on the topic of under-achievers, I suppose the fact that GOAT got 1 for a few hundred yesterday means that he "bowled well, like he always does".

Or the best spinner in the world's who got 5fa today too......oh wait.

Haha there is a Simpsons quote for almost every single scenario in any single field.

This has been a great ******* series of Test Match Cricket. As competitive and entertaining as I can remember from a series in which Australia has been involved in a long time. The fourth Test should be a cracker.
