Anyone who thinks England isn’t winning this is deluded.

 

[GIMH]

Burgey actually messaged me earlier saying he was praying for rain

 

[Arachnodouche]

Cummins has bowled well under 140 every time I tuned in. Relying on cutters with the old ball mostly?

So if we somehow set over 150 can somebody concuss Woakes and we can sub Broad in to win it on day 5.

 

[mackembhoy]

Can anyone explain what launch angle even is and what it tells us

I remember when sky brought in the rev counter for the spinners.

Told you absolutely nowt. Best part was Mikey Holding. Saying "look at the rev coonter it's going up"

Brilliant from Root and Malan yesterday but this test can still pan out in any number of ways.

All I wanted to see from this third innings was England put up a fight and not hand the Aussies victory on a plate. Great so far but another big day required to achieve that goal.

Bat and bat and bat here, Aussies aren't gonna fold on day 5 so not even thinking about how we can win this by setting a target. Repeat of 2010 will do just fine.

Put this Aus outfit under the pump and it'll squirt alright. Eng should aim for a 20-30 lead by lunch with no more than one wicket lost and Root preferably in still. Rookie captain will spread the field in the afternoon and the lead will grow.

Starc’s biggest problem is that he doesn’t have a stock ball to rely upon

It’s rocks or diamonds.

 

[GIMH]

Starc’s biggest problem is that he is shite

Agreed

 

[Gob]

Don't ask stupid questions Michael

 

[Alex0paul]

Ah well

 

[Gob]

g00d

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Predictable one would go before new ball. Can't afford any more

 

[silentstriker]

Business as usual. Didn’t even last until the new ball.

 

[Gob]

Won't be the worst thing for England if Stokes takes a positive approach against Lyon

 

[_Ed_]

400, finally.

Starc might get another life if Haze is injured. No question that Jhye should be ahead of him.

 

[Gnske]

The worst 400 wickets I've ever seen

 

[Gob]

Starc might get another life if Haze is injured. No question that Jhye should be ahead of him.

Why would he be in the middle though?
