Aus too good. Pace attack + Smith.
Well played, ya degenerate criminal ****s.

Claim the half hour ffs

Can't see us making that many in half an hour mate

Roy's balance at the crease is absolutely appalling, how the **** does he get away with it in the short stuff?

 

[trundler]

I had a real feeling that Australia would win this because of Smith and the bowling. Thought Jhye and Usman would feature in there tho. Still, a series win in England should put all doubts about Smith's technique against swing and pace. I've never seen anyone dominate like this.

Good eye and no close catchers. In this format they have more time to work him over and exploit the glaring weaknesses.

Same with Bairstow.

Also the white ball doesn’t really do much.

Ponting's so intense in commentary. No banter, doesn't bite even when the other guy gives an opening. Love it.

You can also hear the moments where he would have given a lax bowler/fielder/whoever an absolute bake when he was captain.

Interesting approach to saving a test match. Intrigued to see how they go about making it work.

 

[Spark]

yeah sure great batting go for slog sweeps three minutes before the close of play when you're trying to save the game

Thread and sub forum should be prorogued

Was threatening to be a rout there tonight, England still in it but will take an incredible effort tomorrow, Burns and Root are huge losses, but Denly showed his gritty nature at Headingley and you can never rule out the willpower of Stokes to pull his team out of trouble

 

[trundler]

Hope England go full attack mode as #intent dies a gruesome death.

 

[Arachnodouche]

If Aus want to play Starc as part of a three-pronged pace attack, they should really look into investing in a seam bowling all rounder who can take the shine off after Cummins and Hazlewood. Starc has value as he demonstrated earlier today but it doesn't lie with the new ball.
