Duckett is six runs shy of England having FIVE of the top six batters in the series.
Anything but a draw and stuff (including our own mistakes) has really conspired against us to come out on the wrong side of it... |
|
By:
Gosh, better watch p's and q's if family are watching
 |
|
By:
he's harmless...but is rather more familiar than me with financial markets and real world trading..
|
|
By:
great mini session for the worthless sloggers...could do with the sun coming back out though
|
|
By:
Wondering how low the draw's gonna go if we keep flying...
Might need to get those reliable radar's out soon  |
|
By:
WinViz says it's an easy lay...
|
|
By:
Have we seen who's padded up for no.3?
I'd go Woakes. |
|
By:
don't mind the radars and satellites..
it's the mug forecasters that get on yer bits  some rain in the met and bbc forecasts on all 3 days but seemingly of the hit and miss showery variety... |
|
By:
Stokes was padded up earlier apparently...
|
|
By:
Right, he'd be my second choice.
Basically, anything that rhymes with oaks and I'm good. |
|
By:
 |
|
By:
wow..slips barely interested...
|
|
By:
Stokes looks a good fit at three. Sound defence to build on. Hope he his still in after lunch, will be good to watch.
|

By:
Ten minutes and ten runs and Australia price back where it was before they took a wicket
|
|
By:
England approaching a free lay (if they're not there already @ 1.65)
|
|
By:
(obviously, not to hold forever
 ) |
|
By:
Can't go a lot lower than this for a good old while
|
|
By:
Very close to LBW there
 |
|
By:
Aus might not like to see this HawkEye
|

By:
Good afternoon people, a good session for England so far.
You'd have to think an Aussie win is getting more unlikely by the minute. Even @ 5.3 now that's too short. I'm not tinkering around as things stand, so I'll just enjoy the day now with the cricket and some top notch racing in store especially @ Ascot. I'm just favouring Dettori on Emily Upjohn in the King George. |
|
By:
Crawley is lovely to watch in this form, his timing makes it look so easy.
|
|
By:
GL with the racing, slippy...
|
|
By:
Yup, glgl fella.
I'm a once-a-year, Grand National sort. A confident Crawley  |
|
By:
Thanks gents.
 |
|
By:
Phenomenal batting. No great surprise, either.
|
|
By:
slow over rate probably precludes a dec (not to mention still some bowled out possibility) but on target to be 450 before the close on run rate...
|
|
By:
make that 500....
|
|
By:
get on with it Harry...ffs...
 |
|
By:
Terrible Labuschagne impression.
|
|
By:
should be dropped for flagrant disregard to the format ....though he's redeemed himself by knicking off trying to defend....
|
|
By:
Yup, that's a proper dismissal.
|
|
By:
Don't get me started on Root
 |
|
By:
Root is such a good player I would actually like to see him reign back just a fraction....for a lot of these players I think if they played more conservatively they'd have less success..and the next gen best players are going to be largely in this mould...so we certainly best get used to it... I know you already have apt'...just musing...
|
|
By:
I think this is his reined in
 |
|
By:
quite possibly
|
|
By:
He's pure class, probably the best I've seen for England.
But he's not my favourite... (Enters left)...Graeme Hick |
|
By:
Your
|
|
By:
Your under 2 runs per over is my Hick
 |
|
By:
and just to re-iterate a point I've made before when being tedious...the idea it only works on flatter surfaces is nonsense...it's arguably at it's most dangerous in low scoring games when a 30+ cameo is gold dust...
first to admit in it's early throws I thought it was nonsense but probably been quicker than most (inc media) to adjust the view... |
|
By:
Yes, yes, yes!
100% at its strongest on tricky pitches/low scorers where runs have added premium. I was BAFFLED by the insistence of England for flat decks in the first two matches. Their biggest flawed thinking this series, for me. |
