selectors will no doubt be patting themselves on the back this evening for the bresnan selection

both he and anderson have been the only bowlers with the control to keep their economy rates below 4

and as we all know the economy rate is THE no 1. factor in winning test matches.

well done. the papers will be praising figures of 14-4-39-2.88 and 20-4-70-3.5 tomorrow morning. both performances line them up for man of the match awards should england do the impossible here.

imagine the damage finn could have caused to the england's chance if he went at over 4 an over.

By:

sonofshinner When: 13 Dec 13 09:10

eng. have limited the damage this sess.

By:

DStyle When: 13 Dec 13 09:11

maybe if we had someone with genuine pace and height we wouldn't have needed to limit the damage.

By:

BJT When: 13 Dec 13 09:13

Yeah, selectors just as big a problem as Cook IMO. Cook in regards to the captaincy anyway. They set the tone, and flows straight through the team.

Hard to soar with eagles when you work with turkeys, as they say....

BJT When: 13 Dec 13 09:19

They still think England win this 1/5? FFS.. Thought the poms were broke... Won't take long if they aren't...

By:

it's a mindset that infects the entire set up.

Very nice innings Smith... Well deserved. Big fav of mine...

will they bowl out all the 90 overs or is there a limit on the time they can go over?

Think it was an extra 30 minutes to get them. Puts them close. To within a couple of normal teams, but England, who knows... 38 minutes in my calcs so doubtful they get them.

By:

West Coast Eagles When: 13 Dec 13 09:24

37 minutes to bowl 12 overs....yeah I think they may be 2-3 short

johnson wont want to be batting tomorrow.

Apart from the selectors, you can see it every time England lose the toss. Cook needs to attack attack attack. His main strategy is to wait for the opposition to dangle the carrot. And while the locals thought 3-0 last series was something special, the realists understand just how lucky they were to even win the series.

Rather be batting than bowling. Harris more than capable of cleaning this team up as he did last time on this pitch.

wonder if poms still think piggy smiff is a bunny

By:

BJT When: 13 Dec 13 09:28

-1481 England.

Disappointed there isn't more opportunities, but getting to the point where I can just let it ride....

By:

DStyle When: 13 Dec 13 09:29

being able to play the containing game and eke out wickets is a great string to your bow, but it is just that.

it is not a method for all pitches against all sides. certainly not here.

it's been happening for years now and is a deeply embedded philosophy of the entire side.

By:

nicky27 When: 13 Dec 13 09:31

don't worry about that BJ, england aint winning this test , they missed their chance @ 143 for 5

By:

BJT When: 13 Dec 13 09:34

Have to worry about that though because I haven't made enough to warrant 5 days... Need England to at least have a go so I can double it up....

By:

housefull When: 13 Dec 13 09:35

plz all out with new ball

Nah. Don't think they will be there another 90 overs.....

By:

housefull When: 13 Dec 13 09:40

and draw?

By:

BJT When: 13 Dec 13 09:40

Surely a big fine for England today for slow over rate?
Extra 30 minutes and still get it. No reviews, only 6 wickets.

By:

BJT When: 13 Dec 13 09:41

Cook should really lose games too tbh...

By:

housefull When: 13 Dec 13 09:42

if this match draw then i destroy plz give me some good suggeistion

By:

BJT When: 13 Dec 13 09:44

Draw? Very unlikely. Aus bat til after lunch tomorrow, England are fcuked. Bowled out for 200. Been 43 all day today, and unlikely they have seen anything like this before. This aint no humid heat, this is dry sapping heat of the highest order.
Openers will fall quick to Harris at 145+, and the tail won't even whimper to Johnson. Draw will be 20s+ tomorrow, so don't even worry about it.

housefull When: 13 Dec 13 09:46

thanks bjt

By:

BJT When: 13 Dec 13 09:48

No thanks necessary. Is merely an opinion.

By:

BJT When: 13 Dec 13 09:49

They are 18 minutes behind time and still 6 overs short. Cook must do time. Ridiculous.

By:
