Starc on 66 and counting.........we are so sh*t at wrapping up tails.

We just gift-wrap games for them instead.

 

Our strategy of tiring out their bowlers will pay off.

Or we’ll finish the day 46/4. Could be either.

 

At least we got to the 3rd day, maybe even the 4th if we're lucky. Odds on an innings defeat shortening by the over...

 

Travis Head - Guilty of Ball Tampering….

 

Every Aussie batsman has reached double figures...

 

First time it’s happened since I was in nappies. The next time England manage it I’ll probably be in nappies again.

 

177 run lead.

England have to bat into the night session.

Should be a piece pf p*ss.

 

Even ‘Extras’ made 22.

 

...

 

England into double figures without losing a wicket

 

Sshhhhh...

 

This Crawley innings will be talked about for generations.

 

93/2 - Pope looking to be expansive gives his wicket away.....

Compare the way the,Aussies batted, all showed application, knew what they had to do unlike England's batters....

 

Boland strikes….. ball keeping low.

 

After a bright start the wheels are coming off. One or two strange bounces not helping confidence...

 

Root gone now ffs

 

-55/4 is rarely a good place to be

 

Fecking pathetic.

Just concede and come home you useless cretins.

 

Counting.....123 for 5

 

Heard it all now, Phil Tufnell giving the English batsmen advice on how to deal with the bounce on near full length balls.

Well, it would be lovely to make them bat again, but really only to avoid ‘innings defeat’ in the record books.
