I admire your optimism

 

Crawley is looking so good today. Proper player.

 

There goes that kiss of death praise!

 

Joe Root hit around the ole Jatz Crackers twice now over the past 15 minutes.

He’s a tad ginger there now, as you would expect.
Reckon he’s a bit knackered there.

 

6 wickets left to get in 35 overs?....I wonder

 

Bloody good Boland is 31 and not 21, another Hazlewoid ffs. Root needs to sort out this problem he has now with playing at balls around 5th stump, continually nicking off to balls he should be comfortably leaving. Always remember Boycott saying the best shot any batsman can play is the leave !

 

Yep, a draw is about to happen, wait ….
Stokes out!

5-93

 

Butler out lbw

6-218

Minimum 17 overs left.

 

Wood out lbw
Lasted two balls.
7 - 218

 

Smith drops a catch, now another goes does.
We’re doing our best to make a draw out of it.

Jonny Barsteward survives.

 

Oh dear

 

Barsteward gone, Aussie needs 2 wickets of 7 overs. A draw is looking imminent.

 

The whole Aussie team in and around the pitch!

 

Shouldn't be too hard to hit over them then

 

Leach out with 2 overs left, squeaky bum time...

 

YEEEEEHAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!


















We've drawn one.

 

Yep, it’s a draw.

 

I bet that's ruined a lot of series bets...

 

Time wasting in a 5 days test, well that just isn't cricket.........

Congratulations on the draw

 

So next up is another Pink ball test on Friday in Hobart. Cold, damp, overcast I suspect this will suit the Poms?
