88-6.

It's happening again.

 

Just woke up & checked score FFS collapsed after lunch

 

Barely a movement on the snickometer in the first aussie innings.....not out

The same circumstance in the 2nd for England......out.

Go figure.

 

Definitely hit it. Smith was walking until the 3rd umpire decided to take forever.

 

Nice to see the qpr flag and a few shirts in the crowd.

 

Carse and Atkinson playing T20 cricket put up the 50 partnership...

 

And Carse gloves it to the keeper on cue, 154-8...

 

And Archer too

 

205 to win for Aussies. Crazy...

 

Hopefully we can make it to day 3..

 

Woke up to see us bowling again so I’m going to the garden to get my Zak Crawley effigy going. McCullum out.

 

Our batters have thrown it away again.

 

Yeah.

Although they do have to score the highest innings of the match to win, you can’t rely on their batsmen failing completely again. An Aussie (met in a bar oddly) once described Travis Head as the only member of the Aussie team he’d like to have a beer with, and since then I’ve found it hard to want him to fail.

 

Travis Head is incredible in pressure situations. So calm and aggressive at the same time. Not over yet though..

 

Getting slaughtered

 

Australia are 1/100 which I’d suggest is relatively generous if anyone wants a quick 1% return on an investment. Probably 1.02 on Betfair.

 

Head has taken us apart, he's in a class of his own. Welcome to 2 day Test matches...

 

Is this Head Ball?

 

Only we could start the day in the position we were in and then progress to probably lose by 9 wickets in the same day.

 

This'll cost the Aussie Cricket Board a fortune in lost ticket revenue...
