Rubbish pays off

 

[Lefty]

Huge wicket for Australia.

A big oops

 

[_Ed_]

Sensational catch.

 

[Burgey]

Haze has been pretty average thus far this test. Presume he’ll get a rest next game so needs to go balls to the wall here and step up

Why thank you*

*Subject to Erasmus overruling it of course

Nice

 

[Spark]

Rubbish pays off

Is it really rubbish when he's been "out" twice to it and kept hitting the ball at catchable height?

You come at the king, you best not miss.

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Yorkshire back

 

[Gnske]

And of course he falls to that filth. It's been trash this morning and that wicket is only thanks to the bad quality of English men

 

[Son Of Coco]

Hopefully the old adage "1 brings 2" plays out here.

 

[ataraxia]

Normally at this point you'd the say the game is done and dusted.

But it's Stokes and Bairstow, at home, under a regime renowned for its chasing, against Chokestraya. Can't help but think...

 

[Spark]

But like seriously he did get a few boundaries and all the applause for that but I think at least half of those went at head height. Maybe this is old fashioned of me but, as with Green yesterday, I tend to think that if you keep doing that your days are numbered.

 

[Jfry]

Having a right hander in is nice for the Australian attack

 

[silentstriker]

That’s a great catch.

The short ball Test can be down but it can never be defeated

England need to prepare some green tops. I'd rather see us lose from zip and seam than who is less crap against non stop bouncers.

 

[Burgey]

More worried with cheeseburger and stokes in than if Duckett was still there, but one away from opening an end up now, at least.

Jeez Carey’s keeping has genuinely become world class these days. Was superb in india as well. It was the pool in Pakistan, wasn’t it?

 

[Gnske]

The fact Bairstow has played 92 tests

 

[Uppercut]

His pull technique is amateur level and he’s a demon everywhere else. The long hop is a great delivery.
