5th Test at Hobart - 14-19 Jan 2022

Haven't really watched all day, just saw the replay of the wickets. Man the Head + Smith wickets were terrible (Boland not great either but more forgiveable from a tailender).

Still doing a fair but because of this collapse England will at least be able to start in daylight.

Can’t see England getting many more than 80 tbh

Classic double bluff according to the commentators - Cummins was looking out for the short ball, so instead of bluffing and bowling a yorker Wood double bluffed with the classic bouncer aimed at the toes.

This is approaching figuratively/literally in commentary circles. I wonder if it started with a commentator getting it confused with the “2 card trick” expression.

This will either be England all out under 100 or someone plays a blinder and they chase it down. Don't see much in between.

I love it when Test cricketers do something bad that I could do so much better myself ie. bad fielding

Every run is worth two

True that. Can't see it getting significantly brighter too as it'll probably be around 6-ish before England bat.

Why is Anderson not playing? Is he injured or something? He would have been a nightmare on this deck.

hamstring I think

England needs a Kohli to abuse the tv camera operators for cheating

Aussie umpires have just saved Carey's test career

Man I hope Robinson is fit enough for the Windies tests. Bloke will be absolutely fired up for that series.

He could well be pushing 125 clicks if he is.

Too bad, would have been excellent viewing if he was in the playing XI.

 

[Bahnz]

About as marginal as they get with that no ball call. Probably fair to give the bod to the barsman.

me when i whack off

 

[TheJediBrah]

Not sure what Patty is trying to achieve by playing this way. He's either just going to get out or get really hurt.

As I say that he ducks one, that's better

 

[Gnske]

Lmao Warnie still saying Mason Crane is the one

dear god in hell

 

[TheJediBrah]

James Muirhead to replace Lyon next series
