This Australia team remind me of the invincibles Australia team

X 100

 

[CartyDurham]

England once again snatching defeat from victory.as I expected you can’t play as recklessly as Bazbal against Australian bowlers

Not over yet by a long chalk

 

[chris.hinton]

We are still favourites.

For every English supporter thinking that Marnus is sledging there, I can almost guarantee that he isn’t

The **** just never shuts the **** up and it’s virtually all absolute rubbish

 

[CartyDurham]

Nicely placed Moeen lad

 

[slowfinger]

Lyon gets a full over at Moeen now

Have you had a whack on the head

 

[G. S. Kohli]

In fact, you could argue it was all 7. Brook being an idiot twice, 3 stumpings and 2 lbw's to reverse sweeps.

His best will be after 3rd test

 

[CartyDurham]

Robinson is in the top 300 all time number 8s

 

[Molehill]

England just giving up a Joe Root wicket for nothing in a game this tight will never stop being hilarious if they lose.

It wasn't just any Joe Root wicket either, it was one with him taking Lyon to the cleaners.

His idea of sledging is asking rohit how he enjoyed his quarantine, don't think he knows how to sledge properly.

 

[CartyDurham]

Nah, he’s just insufferable

Im similar

 

[G. S. Kohli]

I love a bit of mouthy behaviour .

They get used too for all ugly Behaviour since years

Yeah, I'm generally of the mindset that if you're considering declaring in the first innings with a set batsman (or two, not that it applied in this case) out in the middle, try for a proper slog first. If you just lose wickets or can't get it away too well, then so be it, a few unproductive overs will come back to bite you far less often than leaving runs out there

 

[Spikey]

The horrible ghost of Tim Paine is here
