[ajdude]

actually pretty happy with this, kept it tight.

 

[Uppercut]

First session where both teams have played well.

Bring on Smitteh for the last over IMO

Was just thinking this.

 

[Swingpanzee]

First pull shot?

 

[Swingpanzee]

Kudos to England, have geniunely made an effort to come back. Very controlled innings from both. Although it would be meaningless if this parternship doesn't go all the way.

Text from my mate:

If i have to hear one more of these ****s saying 'dayboo' instead of debut i'm going to kill a koala bear with a snooker ball in a sock.


He has a point

I'm just glad Australia don't play in maroon colours otherwise we'd be always hearing that other abortion of pronunciation they have...

You want that piggy face to haunt the batsmen in their dreams don't you?

 

[Swingpanzee]

Stumps and the end of an eventful day.

Solid effort Swingpanzee, that was like, 100 post just today, good from both teams since tea, tomorrow vital, if England bat all day they win, if they don't, Australia win IMO

Good session by Cook and KP. Game just about level but given Australia have to bat last on a very dry pitch which is turning a fair bit already i'd rather be in the England camp tonight. Ridiculous day for the 2nd day running, England start well, Australia dominate the middle of the day and then England have a good end of the day. What the heck will happen on day 3.

 

[Pothas]

Much needed normal session of cricket.

Obvious point but this partnership really is huge.

 

[Maximas]

Also solid from ajdude, managed to hang around all day, Bourgey disappointing

These two still together at lunch tomorrow then we win. Aussies need to get an early wicket and put the pressure on.

Really pretty impressed by how the Australian seamers bowled, particularly Starc. Really nothing going on out there and they were disciplined throughout.

One more session like that first up tomorrow and England would be in a really strong position though.

Gave it away when set. He's becoming everything he hates.

Proper Ian Bell effort by Burgey today then.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why test cricket is, and always will be, the greatest game of all time.

Never in my life have I wanted a bread-stealer to score a ton - until today. Take a bow, Agar the Orrible. You were absolutely brilliant, and deserved a ton. I genuinely felt for you when you holed out in the deep.
