5th Test at Hobart - 14-19 Jan 2022

Only going to get worse batting under lights. It's on the cards.

A one day match would probably mean an England win. Can't see that so a 2 day defeat is on the cards.

One advantage you will have is the chance for the Aussie bowlers to get carried away if you bowl us out cheaply. Happened a bit back on other greentops where Australia lost the toss. I don't see this pitch drying out soon, though.

i expect this to be like the SA and NZ pitches and be roughly the same throughout, especially with rain and mild temperatures throughout

They can get carried away and still skittle us, our batting is atrocious.

Harris would have scored 50

"George Bailey chairman of selectors, uh pretty much everything he's done has turned to gold this summer hasn't it"

Is this how Junior rated his own job performance

 

[honestbharani]

Labu always finds a way and some luck.

If Australia somehow scramble to 150 I could see England getting rolled back to back under lights on this pitch.

Probably won't happen but we'll see.

 

[Gnske]

Uh Julian needs to put a harder K in when he says Stokes ain't a nicker

 

[Son Of Coco]

Also good to see the racist is fired up like he's just walked into a Ramadan street festival.

It's good to see him pumped up at 3-0 down.

 

[Spark]

Wood really not the bloke for this deck I fear

 

[Burgey]

All that chat before the start of play about this being aboriginal land has done for Australia.

Particularly gutsy position to take in Tassie tbh.

 

[Burgey]

Harris would have scored 50

For the series, yeah

Travis Head needs to bring a bright and breezy run-a-ball 40 odd here, which in the circs will be particularly helpful

 

[Pothas]

Wood really not the bloke for this deck I fear

If Woakes is ever going to take wickets in Australia though...

 

[Calm_profit]

Woakes should bowl instead of Wood

 

[Gnske]

Just hit it past Stokes all day

Wood.

 

[morgieb]

Picking Wood over Anderson feels a major clanger given the wicket.

 

[Spark]

will be a real issue if Wood is going to be such an obvious release valve all game

 

[Gnske]

Absolute PIES

 

[morgieb]

Gee some of these shots from Head.
