*Official* Fifth Test at the SCG

[Hooksey]

So 448 to win.

I doubt they'll get within 200.

The humiliation is nearly over.

 

[andyc]

I agree there's no ****ing way England are getting 400-odd, but if they do, Australia are going to look pretty bloody silly for this passage of play.

Agreed. 450 is a big target, but given that it's only ****ing day 3, you think they would've tried to actually hang around till at least tea and make it 500-550 at least.

 

[Johnners]

CRPSB stranded again.

Countries Recognized Premier Specialist Batsmen?

 

[fredfertang]

Loads of time - who's going to play the Mark Butcher role as per Headingley 2001?

 

[grecian]

Who cares about foreign players, your national emblem is a lion. You should have a mole.

Hey I tempered my criticism of you lot by giving you a pic of Ana Ivanovic in an all-black shirt, don't hate me.

 

[NZTailender]

Stokes robbed of a 10fer I say. #dumpCook

 

[Neil Pickup]

Okay - prediction time - scores on the doors at tea and at stumps.

Assuming 20 overs and 33 overs in the two sessions (13/hr)... 42/3 and 151/8

Commonwealth Realms' Premier Spin Bowler.

Don't think it'll catch on, somehow.

Agreed. 450 is a big target, but given that it's only ****ing day 3, you think they would've tried to actually hang around till at least tea and make it 500-550 at least.

Maybe there's still enough in the wicket, so they want to extract it asap

50/1 141-5

 

[morgieb]

Yeah strange batting. England shouldn't chase this down, but there's enough time to make Australia sweat at least.

 

[Jarquis]

If these two could repeat their monster stand from the warmups then that'd be grand

Should form a team and tour South Africa though. My god would we ever have some heated arguments about the the selections for that side right now.

 

[Spark]

Jesus Cook

 

[Neil Pickup]

It's like watching a blind kid playing on a railway line.

 

[Johnners]

Yessss

Nothing shot from Cook.

 

[morgieb]

Hahahaha.
