I ashley think this is Bazball time. If it is there hit it. Not much seam today. Aussies less likely to swing it than England. I hope Starc is off radar today.
Along similar lines, I think it's most effective on decks when wickets fall and runs are premium. We might've missed a host of tricks requesting flat pitches. |

Not good enough again really
We won't make 250 we know that |

Carey doing a terrible Bairstow impression behind the stumps there.

Gosh - Brook and Crawley at the crease together
 |
|
By:
That's one down
We won't win this |
|
By:
180 could be a big score on this wicket. Think Australia should be 1/2 to win this with that total recorded of over 250

so predictable.brook wasted there.
|
|
By:
All done
Predictable collapse after giving them 60 runs to many on a lively wicket |
|
By:
Brooks absolutely wasted at 3

This was the ideal wicket for Brook to be bat on tomorrow!
This is a 400run plus wicket |

This makes for painful viewing, England are 67/3 with 10 minutes left.

If we could catch in the slips/wicketkeeper region, we would certainly be 1-1 at worse, but we can't as the Aussies would have been 60-4 before the game had reached lunchtime today.Root standing far too close in the slips and Bairstow is currently a disaster keeping wicket. Hopefully he can repay England by scoring some big runs tomorrow. Wood was very very impressive and Cummins was still thinking about what shot to play when the ball struck him in front of his stumps. We do bat abit deeper in this Test Match, hopefully a sunny and hot day at Headingly tomorrow and we might and I say might, just pass Autralia's score, but then England are always just 1 wicket away from a batting collapse.

By:
We'll be for 180 odd, Australia cream 220 odd and then we chase 300 odd losing by 50 ish runs

Any Northern Monkeys here?
Great batting weather tomorrow. If they can bat all day I think they win. Could well be plenty of cloud from Saturday afternoon. I took a speculative draw at 12.5 as a backstop but do not really feel confident of predicting how this match might play out. I am not saying England should ground and pound as the wicket is very good to bat on. When Aussie go to leg theory I would like the England batters to have a plan. I think the Bazball Collective are aware of the importance of taking singles. All to play for for both sides |

Morning all. Not been on here in a while. I do still trade draws though and this one has been exciting. Big tension between the forecast and the match state. Price even went back in to 7s overnight (hit some lays I’d set up when the Aus collapse was on). Can see it coming in a long way if England look like batting out the day but still think it would be hard for Aus to hold out if that happened, even with a lot of rain Saturday and the forecast isn’t really for sessions washed out.

2 big differences between the teams.first aussies better at catching,at this moment.second we have to earn every wicket we take with good bowling,which to be fair,we have.however we give stupid wickets away and dont seem to cherish the fact the longer you stay in the more runs you score.the wickets we lost yesterday a prime example
|

By:
Game over for England. They can’t play Cummins
|
|
By:
another one out that should of been left well alone.very poor
|
|
By:
They just can’t leave. Play in the same area continuously. They will nick it eventually
|
|
By:
They need a 100 partnership here.
|
|
By:
Ffs calamity cricket by England
They just can’t stop the temptation |
|
By:
Only hope again, is Ben Stokes and he can't keep on bailing England out of trouble, I',m not confident with with Moheen getting any more than 20,not sure what Chris Woakes will offer against this bowling attack and then its how many the last 3 might scramble.
|
|
By:
It’s not even baz cricket either.
It’s just a matter of when they will be out |
|
By:
The drop by root on marsh is the biggest cost in this game. It effectively handed the ashes to the Aussies
|
|
By:
One positive is we can officially switch it off and concentrate entirely on racing and the new footy season
You knew it was going to happen the rot was in first test and you never wrestle it back sadly |
|
By:
Getting beat 0-5 at home is disgraceful though
We've gone 12 years without winning a test in Australia as well, even the 90s comedy wasn't that bad statistically ffs |
|
By:
Moen Ali what a buerk nearly out to a shot few balls before then he goes and does exactly the same
|
|
By:
does baz stand for brainless?
embarrassing from england batsmen |
|
By:
over before lunch playing that shot dear god.and then laughing about it!
|
|
By:
180 on this wicket would seem a good score now ffs
|
|
By:
Its all very noble from England, but they are making some terrible selection choices, with half fit players, and continuing with Bairstow.
|
|
By:
Bairstow is very over-rated as a keeper in my opinion.
6,000 test runs for Stokes - achieved with a six. Absolutely magnificent to watch. He has electrified cricket. |
|
By:
Without stokes at the moment, there seems very little resistance in the order!!
I can’t tell me he is smartest cricketer amongst this team, but he seems to be the only one with an idea of how to play the moment. The rest seemed to be predictable |
|
By:
It's like the rest are in a mental fog. Mindset needs attention for me. And this messing about on the pitch by certain players, with petty gestures etc; No good. Focus on the performance and the outcome not perceived injustices.
I wonder what Brearley would do with this squad ( were he around today ). The material is definitely there. |
