4th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester

[aussie tragic]

We have Sibley waiting for a chance who can’t force his way in.

Yeah England have done the same as Australia by having only T20 games on during a home test series. So frustrating that no batsmen can force their way in due to no FC games.

We also have Pope.

I was being a tad facetious about the “established” opening pair.

 

[aussie tragic]

Cheerful crowd singing loudly. Good on them.

And both sides wonder why they can't find any serviceable batsmen.

At long last

Pretty good knock from Denly. He's done a bit better this series than I'd expected.

 

[GIMH]

Missus is making a roast dinner shortly, if we do hold on and it goes to the wire I wonder how she will react to me telling her I will eat it in the living room

Looks like I won't need to worry.

 

[trundler]

Can't be easy to start on this deck. Nathan L(yon)aksr into the action at Old Trafford.

Ridiculous that it’s taken that long for Lyon to get a ball in the right spot

 

[Lillian Thomson]

England have batted with determination again in this innings are still 90 for 5.

He's been okay today IMO. Certainly nowhere near as inaccurate/off-colour as Day 3.

You must have had pretty low expectations as he's averaging 25 lol

You see sir Patrick with the ball in hand. You are filled with determination.

But that's only fair. He's one of those guys who looks decent scoring his early runs but you know isn't going to hurt you with a big score. He and Roy both got as much as you could possibly expect out of them

 

[SteveNZ]

When the roller wears off in about another 20-25, this will be carnage.

In other news, SteveNZ has plainly had a Sunday sesh

Truly, I want feed back on how I got it wrong. Where I got it wrong. I dont really drink anymore and previously I'd thought this had improved my posting. I'm always looking to get better as a person with opinions

What did you say?

 

[aussie tragic]

No....Not again with the Warner ban stuff in this thread

 

[trundler]

When 1 more wicket falls, Lyon should have a full ring of close in catchers with 2 slips, a leg slip, silly point and bat pad.

It’s been rubbish

He’s got foot marks to aim at and is missing them by 2 feet

Look at how more accurate Cummins is

This will bring a sigh from the hardcore Aussie brigade again, but basically that Warner is a **** and deserved more than a year for being a cheating deceitful spineless prick. Then some guy compared it to Overton standing on a ball accidentally and I completely lost all understanding of where anyones point was.
