Thats coming from the grade cricketers poddy. Actually a really good listen if one is looking for a laugh and cricket. But yes, they believe if this was on englands track we’d be in all sorts

well yea, but that's cricket, home ground advantage is massive, winning away is huge

The delusion is hilarious. First of all, good teams win away, even are competitive.
It’s a pity cricket is played across the empire and not just at lords and other provincial ovals.

Would the form translate over there? Some of our batters are in solid form

I think the bowlers have once again saved us more so than the batters have played well, which is quite the theme as of late. So, you go over there, england bowls MUCH better in their conditions and that stunts some of the good form our batters have shown.

This is true, probably should have put on 450 on day one

Our batsmen have fallen into the trap of pushing for runs, but have just done it after establishing partnerships.

Caught front of wicket, how many was it on day one? 6? Terrible batting. But we do have some in form

450 in a day is just a collapse waiting to happen. Our grounds are bigger, there is variable bounce.
360 is ambitious.

 

[Sillygit]

Jacks tons up

But at least there was a foundation. I’m disappointed they didn’t form bigger partnerships, but 59 beats 10.

 

[Sillygit]

shit, they almost got through the overs today

 

[Lomas]

Jacks tons up

One in each innings. Pontingesque

 

[DuckYeah]

Why did play stop an hour short on day one?

 

[DuckYeah]

WTF happened to the cricket on 7? Its gone

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Reckon SpiderBurton22 should get the " Barmy Army " chant up & going.
Finish the day on a high.

They were a non entity. The Indian fans had more passion last year.

 

[amaz199]

Bloody hell England are absolutely woeful.

 

[gokangas]

356 is probably enough. Let's hope we can bat through first session, get a 430 lead and declare at lunch.

Runs are not a factor, we'll bat into the 2nd session and grind them into the ground

England will believe they have a sniff if they have a day n a half to make 350

Going by their batting style they'd be lucky to get beyond 250. They'll need to push for a draw.

Wouldn’t want to give them any sort of sniff

I think the lead should be around that 450 mark

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Windies are 0-110 in response to NZ’s 8-575 declared. Batting paradise.

been spending most our lives...

 

[Sillygit]

lead of 450 plus will be good cause they'll probably back flip to bazball again chasing a win (cause a draw loses the ashes) and get rolled for 200ish

and id love to see that
