*sigh*

We're playing just Langer's Australia here.

Well that was a gift.

 

[Spark]

That makes four or five really poor dismissals out of six

 

[Shady Slim]

pretty good take that in fairness

 

[trundler]

This morning I thought Australia is back to being ruthlessly dominant and that they'll just batter England into submission. Soiling on the advantage does make for better viewing tho

australia moment

 

[Number 11]

Imagine if England picked more than 2 1/2 bowlers

My mother used to live near TTG.

About the only bit of Adelaide north of Grand Junction road that isn't a hole really


Pertaringa Oval is a damn good place to watch cricket. Deck usually pretty dead though

This innings very much Head as a Test batsman in a nutshell btw. Looks awful and yet somehow he's already 30* and set.

 

[Burgey]

Fair play Reiffel telling Root he’d wide him for that. And fair play Root telling Reiffel to watch for ****ing no balls

He's looked worse and he only looked in trouble in the first few balls he faced.

Stop clogging the comms.

Hi MO is perfect for a six or seven. He's a dangerous player when he gets in because he scores so fast. But I think five is a spot too high for him.

Lee saying ‘if it was easy to bowl 150k everyone would be doing it’ like the rest of us just cbf

 

[Burgey]

More of a chance than Head on an early summer Gabba wicket. And a lot less painful to watch

No way does Khawaja go a run a ball here. Bit too bouncy for the pillow.

I'll go the opposite. Five is ideal for him. He can occasionally look like a four in FC. Three, I'd kill myself.

 

[91Jmay]

Really poor to have field back there.

 

[Gnske]

Oof, that was Hughes-like

 

[stephen]

40 now. What's the bet we get a no footwork edge to gully soon

 

[Anil]

the lead is 100, should be good enough right? anything from here on now should be considered a bonus...

 

[Burgey]

I think he's taken us past the crucial 7/50 Gambhiring mark @mr_mister and I prophesied.
