[loterry1994]

Boland should of never started this session

 

[GIMH]

Feel
Sick

 

[halba]

edged. wide. defo nearly done here
too many 4's and the target is too low now.
there must be a wicket in the next 3 overs or aus is gone

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Holy **** get Boland off

No keep him on. He's ****

 

[Kraken]

Time for marsh imo

 

[Croadymeister]

64 is not a lot of runs

Yes it is with best two batsmen out,if only these guys had more experience of a test chase

 

[CartyDurham]

Couldn’t resist this bet , put a little on Aussie at 7/4

already on at 6/5

 

[morgieb]

Green would've caught that

 

[Cubiscus]

Surely whatever happens now Bairstow must go.Overweight and a liability at the moment

That would involve our selectors admitting a mistake

 

[Prince EWS]

Time for marsh imo

Release the kraken.

 

[GotSpin]

He probably didn't want to go with himself and Starc after lunch and then have a bowling tandem without them after their spells. It'll be interesting to see if Marsh or Murphy is the other partner when the new tandem starts up

Marsh I think

 

[halba]

Green would've caught that

probably worth ~30 runs in the gully i reckon, some games a lot more. Sometimes a pro fielder is worth it.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

If Australia win change my username to something which is funny & pro-Australian

It’s going to be 2-1

Vegemite

 

[Bahnz]

They are. They only need 60 and got a bloke on nearly 50 at the crease.

Disagree. They don't have Stokes there to miracle a bunch of runs with the tail. These two have to get the majority of the runs if England are to win imo.

 

[Shri]

ffs bump woakes

almost gone in 2 balls

 

[CartyDurham]

Can’t remember Woakes v spin ?

 

[Prince EWS]

Spin early to Woakes is dumb so I think it'll be Marsh.

 

[Burgey]

Don’t mind the short ball stuff to Woakes at all tbh

 

[Prince EWS]

Can’t remember Woakes v spin ?

One of England's better players of it imo.

 

[Michelle Fivefer]

Exactly and it’s now screaming for it

have they got the ability to accept their error ?

Makes you wonder how the selection panel operates. “Tried and trusted, bit of a blip in this match but will come back strongly”. “Deserves more chances”. “Foakes is a decent keeper but can he score enough runs?” The emphasis is on run scoring, which is fair enough, but look at the runs saved and wickets taken by specialist keepers.
