Six down now and struggling to bat through the overs.

 

Aussie spinners applying the squeeze...

 

Think we can call this a colapse now..... from 202/2 to 250/7....

 

Make that 260/8. Big turn for their spinners, but we have plenty of spin options, too

 

Apparently average 1st innings score at Bristol in 1 day games is 246....... not all lost yet

 

300 would still give us a good chance

 

276/9

 

Spinners kept Aussies in the game.... target 310 thanks to lovely cameo by Rashid adding 33 for the last wicket.....

That will be a challenging target with the ball turning sharply.....

 

If they had the full 50 overs, I think we'd win, but the more overs lost, the better for the Aussies.

 

Twenty overs to constitute a game. If they don't lose any wickets, Australia would only need 85 off 20 to win on DLS.

 

Bring on the rain!

 

Need another Aussie collapse

 

Smith you jammy bastard did you sandpaper the wickets smaller

 

England getting hit all over the place.....

 

Inglis should be gone, faintest of edges not picked up by Smith behind the stumps....

 

Yorkshire 726 for 7 (Wharton 285) v Northants 147 and 28 - 0.

 

Yorkshire promoted and Lancashire relegated.

 

So the rain came an over too late. Aussies deserved the win anyway.

 

Waiting …….

 

Attempting to persuade my wife that she really should visit her best friend from schooldays who lives near Sydney and that December 25 to January 26 would be an ideal time. I might take a couple of side trips and will not be around on Boxing Day…..
