Not taking the single? not sure about that

Vaughany not giving a tick to Hameed

Interesting

 

[Gob]

Howie is so annoying

Interesting

Didn't even suggest Khawaja at 4 over the failures.

 

[Gnske]

Thanks Carey, enjoy test retirement

 

[morgieb]

Has Carey done enough there to survive? I think he shouldn't, but keepers do get a decent ride.

i mean he probably will but he had a huge amount of luck and still couldn't get to 50. just hasn't looked likely with the bat at all

 

[GotSpin]

Awful from Carey

 

[Gnske]

I wonder if Crawley's tick is going to get even bigger in this next innings

 

[NotMcKenzie]

That was a **** innings.

 

[SteveNZ]

What happened to Pat Cummins as a batsman? I remember him being decent, and now he's not

 

[Gnske]

Credit to Wood though, got it right after bowling pure trash in that first innings.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Lyon should bat ahead of Cummins, completely unironically. Looked assured in the 4 balls he faced. Cummins looked like a Chris Martin clone. Boland better too for that matter. Needs to bite the bullet and bat 11

 

[morgieb]

So 271 to defend. Even in normal circumstances that wouldn't be easy, on this it would require a lot. Could see this being the innings where Root/Stokes fires.

Or England get bowled out tonight. Bowling has to be switched on.

 

[MW1304]

Became an effective t20 slogger, then lost his long-form skills.

 

[Gob]

Australia has zero chance here

 

[Gnske]

Australia has zero chance here

Agreed, we're done for. Victory was to be had, now our chances are dust. Crawley and Stokes will knock off most of this

You know exactly what is going to happen here, as do we all.

 

[SteveNZ]

And in other news, England confirmed to not pass 300 all series. Has that ever happened from a team in Ashes history?

Burns taking his efforts for women's cricket to the next level
