LOL, England will be lucky to get 100 judging by their 'performances' this Ashes.

 

[Riggins]

I was expecting the op to be exactly the same as the second test thread.

Mine is on the Friday night, doubling up as a celebration of Cook and Carberry batting through the first day unbeaten

Not sure why I'd have talked about writing Brisbane off as a draw tbf

There's no way we'll lose the whole day to rain.

Tbf my forecast has them facing 1 over after we bowl you out in 87.3

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Root and Bell to get 100 between them and rest to get 30.

Bell won't do well at Perth. Doing well on the slow unpredictable bounce. Someone like KP or Cook to get a couple if anyone.

Root's a nuggety youngster, he might do well anywhere.

Don't think Root will enjoy this deck tbh. Nothing against his temperament, but his technique doesn't look particularly suited to Perth.

 

[Cabinet96]

Yeah, he's a slow pitch player IMO.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Don't think Root will enjoy this deck tbh. Nothing against his temperament, but his technique doesn't look particularly suited to Perth.

Though in the 2nd innings at Brisbane he was almost a lone hand standing up to it. I think Root is the only member of the top order coming out with an enhanced reputation so far. Carbs has done ok but much like Rogers last summer you can't see him playing many more than 20 tests in a career due to age.

 

[King Pietersen]

England to win by an innings.

 

[grecian]

Send the weak ****ers home, so we don't have to endure the gutless wonders here.

Put in the EPP side, Broad and Bell.

 

[GIMH]

Hopefully our bowlers get their tails up. In theory Aussie are capable of collapsing as dramatically as us. If and when that happens, 2-day game...
