Shouldn't be allowed to bat after that fat saffer forced Pope to field

Bit harsh .. good umpire Erasmus.

yeah i do like rassie, maybe he's a victim of the rules rather than his own decision there

 

[Rita_Poon]

Get these some broken ribs, if they can go head hunting our bowlers, we can repay the favour. Get em crucified!

Actually might work well if Pope is forced to bat 7

 

[Rita_Poon]

no ball! FOOLS!

 

[Milk]

Ffs …. Professional bowlers shouldn’t no ball unless they’re part of a betting scam.

Lyon is going to bat.

Why? Aus must be terrified we’ll hunt done 350+

If england can bowl these out and have 90 minutes at bat this evening and get to 50-0 then its 3 ton tomorrow which is doable. aus playing the clock here.

Conversly I don't think people realise how mentally tiring it is facing a short ball approach and knowing when to play and leave. Neil Wagner for NZ has a very good international record bowling 75-80mph bouncers for 10 over spells at a time.

How correct is this from 3 days ago looking

theres Broad with another

Australia of a few years ago would have declared. They’ve got enough on the board now surely.

 

[jazzy]

Not getting to their total in the first inning is now very very annoying. That being said we are seeing the aussies give England an outside chance by being too negative

The Aussies already have more than enough. England will be 5 or 6 down at stumps

 

[Rita_Poon]

stokes, got ya!

 

[Rita_Poon]

lyon hobbles on.

 

[Walken]

Stokes deserved that wicket
