***Official*** 3rd Test at the WACA

[SillyCowCorner1]

Put the short leg finer

 

[Spikey]

Starc is going to end up MotS isn't he?

well yeah the man of the series usually gets the MotS award

except for the time rad haddin didn't get it

 

[Spark]

This is genuinely weak

 

[_Ed_]

Not England's greatest half-hour or so.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Lucky Starc is going to bowl around the wicket to Broad.

I hope this catches on

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Yeah, Ian, attacking as a tail-ender against fast, short-pitched bowling is easier said than done.

 

[Starfighter]

Oh brother. England falling short here.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Not even 400 then? Pissweak collapse.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

This is freaking ridiculous...

They brought up a record from 114 years ago earlier in the session..

This last 15-20 minutes of play is what cleaning up the tail felt like during the 1890s

Well good on you for remembering that!

 

[_Ed_]

Broad. That 169 feels like a long, long time ago.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well that was a gutless half hour, watch the crims race to 200-2 by the close of play and then rattle up 600.

 

[Alex0paul]

Carbon copy of the second morning at Brisbane

 

[Spark]

Magnificent cricket, with a ball missing a second set of stumps outside leg being spooned over a vacant cover for a near run-out.

 

[Spark]

leg stump yorker ffs

 

[OverratedSanity]

Broad backs away 3 feet outside leg Jeetan Patel style and almost holes out to long off (somehow) and Chappelli finds a way to praise it as attacking batting and giving the bowler 'something to think about'. Painful stuff all around.

 

[Spikey]

I'm not shocked but I agree with Ian Chappell here. It seems like the only time umpires do something about dangerous bowling is when a bowler accidentally bowls a beamer which...I dunno man....

 

[andruid]

You people said Overton could bat!

Starc looked so perturbed there, giggling away at the non-striker's.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Seems to me it's more about two bouncers per two balls

Now I agree with Chappelli there.
