He does my ****ing head in with his monotonous tone, worse than Dawson on Soccer Special almost !

 

I said before I want Billings and Livingstone in the side, these are the type of players we need. But they have to be given time to adjust to Test cricket. Its not gonna happen overnight but they have the mentality and talent we are lacking, if they're given half as much chance as some of the dross that's come recently then they will make excellent Test players in my eyes !

 

Fantastic spell of hostility from Wood this afternoon, 3 quick wickets and give England a sniff. He's been my standout player for England this series, if only some of tge others had his spirit and will to give 100 % every single second he's out there. Huh, just as I'm writing Woakes bowls Carey. Off a no ball ! Ffs to the bitter end we **** ourselves. The lead is 212 now and that's almost certainly too many with our batting. Needed to wrap up their innings quickly, but that looks ****ed after that no ball now ! Same old ****

 

Were 234 in the lead now with three wickets left, perhaps with a bit of luck we could possibly get to 300 in the lead but maybe 250 will be enough if England bat as they have done to date.

 

A bit of luck ffs , Carey's been out 3 times and Cummins was given out 1st ball ! How much luck do you want ? You don't honestly expect us to get anywhere near 200 do you ffs ?

 

Even the commentator nicked my line and said Carey's down a pact with the devil lol

 

Billings becomes just the 2nd English player to take 5 catches on debut ! Bravo

 

Wood finishes with best test figures, 6 wickets. Been superb

 

270 to win, I think I heard it would be our biggest chase ever to win in Australia ! Can we at least make it exciting, there's 58 overs left today. Let's at least last that lol. Come on Burns, a ton to win the test and save your career, you know it makes sense !

 

Actually 271 that one run could be all the difference

 

Burns edges through the slips for 4. Gonna need bags of luck here

 

Predictions?

England finish on 175-8 lol

 

In this situation on this wicket I wish we had Bairstow and Buttler. I'd send them out to open and say play it like a 1 day chase, do what Head did in the 1st innings and attack the bowling and try and get as many as yiu can quickly. There's a ball with your number on , on this wicket

 

Yup, what exactly do we have to lose?

 

I fancy us to get close but maybe fall 40 odd short. Nah **** it, Stokes gonna smash a twisted ton all over Hobart

 

Hoops win yesterday, now the Serbian squatter has defo been deported. Let's make it a glorious hat trick !

 

Lbw appeal on Burns, given not out. Aussues don't review it, would've been out ! There's something afoot I tell you lol. 12-0

 

Nice start

 

This looks good. How's the pitch looking?

 

Burns gone just before tea, but we can still do this.
