England having to start their innings under light today is worst case scenario for them, their top 3 is weak as it is.
We might be better if we can't see it.England having to start their innings under light today is worst case scenario for them, their top 3 is weak as it is.
Starc bowls well in patches now and the other two are very new. Think the playing under light thing is quite overplayed these days.England having to start their innings under light today is worst case scenario for them, their top 3 is weak as it is.
I don't. Ball was doing all sorts last night.Starc bowls well in patches now and the other two are very new. Think the playing under light thing is quite overplayed these days.
Although I rate Jhye Richardson highly.
It's going to be the equivalent of trying to hold onto a 1-1 at Anfield or City with 10 men.England are so frustrating. It really should be 300 odd all out and starting their reply at lunch time. I’m not even sure I will watch us start the batting, it’s going to be painful.
25 overs?Need to drop Woakes for the next one. Bring Wood back. England need to show some fight with the bat here.
Well they need to show something. The bowling apart from Woakes hasn’t been too bad overall. The batting was good. But the bowling at the end was poor. It’s a 5 match series so no point whinging and whining about them coming home. Time to show some fight.25 overs?
Both openers will go. Maybe a Root and Malan block sees us scrape 60-2 at close. 59-4 also no surprise.
200ish all out tomorrow.
The bowling is fecking horrific. Wrong selections, to short, no spinner, no plans.Well they need to show something. The bowling apart from Woakes hasn’t been too bad overall. The batting was good. But the bowling at the end was poor.
No it wasn’t. The run rate was down but the batting was good. At times the plans were wrong but overall it was good. Anderson and Robinson were impressive. Wood should have played and yes Leach should have played here instead of the Gabba. The pitch is good if you can get in.The bowling is fecking horrific.

You were watching a different innings to me.No it wasn’t. The run rate was down but the batting was good. At times the plans were wrong but overall it was good. Anderson and Robinson were impressive.

The problem was we had 5 right arm medium fast pacers. No variety. Should have had Wood and Leach in this side and 4 seamers in the first test.You were watching a different innings to me.
Robinson was 'ok' but is far to slow to scare anyone without it moving sideways. Jimmy was bang average by his standards and took his first wicket in the 130th over!
Yeh we kept it tight for a while, but I saw that as a negative. We had to pitch it up day one to hunt for wickets but we bottled it to 'contain them'
Yeah agree with that. There were times where they went with the wrong option and the lack of variety was costly.I felt England bowled too short at times.
Then I agree with you also then? Haha.Yeah agree with that. There were times where they went with the wrong option and the lack of variety was costly.
The selections have been absolutely baffling. I have no idea how they came up with them. Right now it’s about getting to close of today with no more wickets lost then taking it session by session.Then I agree with you also then? Haha.
Burns won't get a run on this tour. Heads gone.
Crawley and Bairstow will come in (assuming Jos also doesn't get big runs).This should be Burns' last test..
His average is going downwards as well - so that seems to be his level
If he gets a triple hundred here we could get 350 mateThe commentator saying Root coming to the crease now is a big moment in the series.
Give over. This isn't a series, it's a procession. Total non-event.
Get them on a plane home.
Someone get Omicron out there.Load of shite. Fly them home.
