Libertarian's would get the poor to kill themselves then sell their chemicals.

Ah, I see I got it wrong then I apologies.

Hmm

you live by the wild flash wide outside off
you die by the wild flash wide outside off

 

[Stace]

Hopefully Wood can farm the strike till he gets his 50.

 

[Prince EWS]

Stranded.

 

[Pothas]

That is crap Jimmy.

 

[91Jmay]

412 a good target. Gave it away a bit but positive, attacking mentality clear to see so it happens at times. Night to rest and then come out and attack with new ball.

 

[Primrose_D12]

The hell was Anderson even doing there

 

[Furball]

Wee bit disappointing that we've allowed Australia to keep the door slightly ajar instead of slamming it shut.

 

[Antihippy]

We're in a terrible position, but hey, that was a much better effort than the 1st innings.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Overall I think Australia bowled pretty well today. Fairly good signs for the rest of the series. Would like to see some good application with the bat tomorrow even if 412 ends up being out of reach.

 

[BeeGee]

Beautifully set up for tomorrow.

 

[Pothas]

Mark Wood might be my new favourite person.

Almost a great day but we should have put them out the game.

 

[Howe_zat]

Well bowled Lyon.

Been a cracking day

 

[smash84]

we have a cracker set up....

 

[weldone]

Ok. So 412 is the target.Don't play shots against the spinner like in the 1st innings. There is absolutely no hurry. Make sure that you have 2 batsmen at the crease when Anderson come back with the 2nd new ball. I mean 2 batsmen - not Watson and Haddin.

 

[Gob]

Davey Warner 212*

 

[weldone]

Stranded.

should get there if he plays all 5 - will be easier if they make the necessary change in the batting order

 

[Prince EWS]

should get there if he plays all 5 - will be easier if they make the necessary change in the batting order

Yeah biggest worry is that he gets injured really.

 

[superkingdave]

Anderson the only bowler with an ER under 3 so far - Anderson 2.28, rest of field 3.92

I'm a pessimist but even at 300 I was confident. 412 on this wicket isn't going to happen imo. Wood and Broad will have deliveries going along the ground tomorrow - and some jumping. Full and straight. Might be slow but every ball is bouncing differently and there is still plenty of movement through the air.

Rogers and Voges are the two with the best chance of doing something as they have plenty of experience of this type of English wicket - even if they aren't as good as some of the other bats.
