I'm honestly surprised there are no 400+ scores in there. Not that long ago that Lord's was famed for being the best batting track in the country.

 

[G. S. Kohli]

So Flat wicket
Anderson back 🦾

9th time Smith & Labu put on 100* together.

198/3

Labu 47 out

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Of course i mean in 2011 and not 2023..... Sorry for the mishap

You know it's bad when Chris Hinton is apologising for saying England is dominant in a match

 

[trundler]

England take very long between overs

 

[Croadymeister]

23 extras is a hell of a lot in just over a session and a half equivalent

Absolute shambles to concede that many

Yeah it’s mostly England being great at bowling and terrible at batting for the past decade plus.

 

[Croadymeister]

get Foakes in for the love of god

They will when it's 4-0

 

[chris.hinton]

They will when it's 3-1 to England

Fixed it

 

[CartyDurham]

Throwing this forward as it’s clear Australia are on top.

would they be prepared to set England 380 plus in the fourth innings off 90 overs?

that would set up a great fifth day

 

[Croadymeister]

Couldn’t ask for more after being sent in. Can all turn around last session but right now this has been a dream day for Aus.

You won The Ashes today looking at England's poor body language and attitude to this game

 

[Croadymeister]

We just haven't been good enough with the ball or in the field. Not enough balls in the right areas, too many no balls and when we have found the edge, we've grounded the catch.

Only plus point was Tongue.

Christ on a bike, I'm agreeing with KP - shows how bad things are.

Was clapping him after saying what we all felt

 

[Spark]

Hmmmm that's not that far away. More out than the one that was given.

 

[CartyDurham]

Ton partnership up

well played

Why would they only lead by 380, 500 at least by 4th day

 

[CartyDurham]

They could be 700 ahead. It’s only a scenario that would probably bring a great finish to the game

you are so serious man. It’s only a game

You are so dillusional man. Who gives a crap about bazball great entertainment finish. Grind them into the dirt with foot on throat for rest of series

Looks like there's a clear outside off stump policy since Tea. It's stemmed the runs anyway.
