Tad harsh

And again.

Is it? He's took 7 singles off the last 8 balls he faced. The last time he faced 3 balls in a row the score was 6/116 and 35 balls ago. The tail faced the other 27, we've lost 4/16 and he ends on just 24 not.

 

[Nate7]

Even if Green gets all 10 wickets in the next innings, I'd still drop the campaigner.
Even ****en Watson is more useful and he hasn't played since i can't remember!

 

[koshari]

thats a very gettable total on a pitch thats only gonna get better,

5 blokes get 30 and another couple get 20...

 

[Lomas]

And again.

Fair enough. Should have been better.

 

[Lomas]

This is over today one way or another.

 

[Merlin007]

Even with our own 'outs', hard to see how England can take 20 wickets with Archer out and Jacks as their spinner

this didn't age well

 

[Marstermind]

What a catastrophe for CA and the MCC. It's biggest cash cow of the year and it's been totally ballsed up.

The entire match is a farce - a lottery on who can survive - with up to 250k spectators - many of whom will have travelled far and wide to see their annual day of Test cricket - being the main victims. Add to that the broadcasters, viewing public, and Melbourne businesses all part of the fall out.

People with tickets to tomorrow - a sellout - must be refunded in full with possibly a credit to some pissy BBL games thrown in. Someone also has to be sacked for this.

Another 10 mill down the drain for cricket Australia. The ground staff will be back to local grounds after this.

Post of the thread. An absolute disaster, and throw in the next broadcaster rights.

Edit: and the caterers, the poor kids employed for summer holiday work, even the public transport companies.
CBD cafes should do better if they open with a Sunday surcharge.

Probability of defending a fourth-innings target around 180 ≈ a few percent (likely in the 2–8% range).

This fits intuition: successful defenses of low targets do happen, but most low targets are chased down by the batting side — hence the relative rarity.

WTF is selling bay 13 to the poms?

And not many are day 2!

Rough Probability Estimate

Using such historical figures:

Numerator: ≈10–15 defenses of ~175–199

Denominator: ≈100–150 opportunities with targets ≤200

This suggests a very rough historical probability of:

~7–12% chance that a team successfully defends a target in the 175–199 range in a Test match where that target is set.

 

[Passmore]

Shane Watson, maybe.

Graeme Hick.

 

[ferball]

Ok, so working under the assumtion that the test doesnt end tomorrow though it very likely could, this wicket will get easier to bat on at some point.

Could that possibly be in the 4th innings, say on day 3 for instance, and we get the inverse result to Perth?

bump

Watch bazball fly here and the poms talk it up after they win

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Watch bazball fly here and the poms talk it up after they win

They can huff and puff all they like. The ashes are ours, and we are playing nearly our third string attack in a dead rubber on the most English wicket ever.

They don’t even have the moral victory. At least three dismissals that should have been reversed.

 

[Lomas]

Watch bazball fly here and the poms talk it up after they win

Yep, the euphoria and vindication will hopefully make them stick with the same team for another two years.
The irony of the team ‘saving’ test cricket almost destroying it. As the commentators said ‘welcome to short form test cricket’.
I’m actually gutted by this series, I’ll just wander off to join the other dinosaurs.

Edit: and just wait for some disingenuous prick point out daily average attendance for two day tests is better than five dayers.

 

[hellas_johnny]

Finally

 

[archereleven]

1-51.

In 6 overs they could be 6-80 on this deck. Tricky chase when wickets start falling.

Neser should have been hooked after 2.

They’ve sent bowlers in to bat. What a farce.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

England are actually going to pinch one.
Unbelievable

Dead rubber champs.

They will swing wildly, yet only Starc will bowl yorkers at the pegs.
Beggars belief sometimes.
