[CartyDurham]

Woakes really been in the game hasn’t he

Spoiler: Blur question

good show?

 

[halba]

Is Starc injured?

Sore most likely. He bowls 150kph. u can only do that for about 15 overs. He's at 14 overs. Injured he would be in hospital having scans lol.

 

[Saket1209]

So Starc who got the wickets all day won’t get a look into these 2 just horrible captaincy

cummins jealous ?

Absolutely brilliant mate. Will post a bit more about it in OT later

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Yeah only 40 runs.. Brook only has to bat normally now. But what is normally for him?

 

[CartyDurham]

Well run lads

Im busting for the loo, but not jinxing this.

Woakes, Wood and Marsh all been brilliant. The freshest players. No real shock the fresh players have done well.

 

[ImpatientLime]

still enough runs in the game for a banter Brook ton

 

[morgieb]

Is Starc injured?

He has bowled a fair bit today tbf.

Still, the game is pretty rapidly slipping away, Australia need him urgently.

 

[halba]

MOM will be- Woakes 6 wks and vital contribution in run chase- all round performance.

A little drinks break. Phew this is tense

 

[Spark]

Really feel like that spell from Boland and the decision to keep bowling him cost the game.

 

[Saket1209]

ooh

 

[Burgey]

Fmd this **** is blessed

 

[Saket1209]

starc has to bowl after the drinks break or just give up.

Not many fans of Cummins and his captaincy. Boland leaked runs like a sieve, in a low scoring game..

 

[CartyDurham]

Can he just give Murphy an over to see how England would look to play?

Is it a gamble too far ?

 

[Burgey]

He’s been terrible all series really. Can understand why they picked him for this test given Haze is so underdone but he’s let them down badly.

 

[Gob]

Could have been out five times

I know he's coming back from injury, but it's hard to believe he hasn't played every test. Makes such a difference to the team's balance. Would allow them to play a specialist spinner if Baz wasn't so obsessed with getting his own Michael Bracewell.
