[aussie tragic]

Good 50 by Paine...now double it

Steve Smith makes no sense.

I've watched him for hours, and I still don't understand how he does it.

Thankfully you'll have plenty more time to observe him over the coming years.

Where's the leg slip?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Last delivery was 91.7mph

It took a day and a half but Archer seems to be bowling at lively pace.

 

[Daemon]

This isn't a regular TPC hundred anymore. He's going bigger than his 239 if his partners allow it.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Cracking cut from Paine

 

[Burgey]

Hope we just keep grinding these arseholes into the dirt.

 

[wrongun]

Jofra Archer has been average or below for the most part.

 

[quincywagstaff]

How long will Australia bat? Would they be prepared to bat into Day 3 angle just try to get England via follow on? Or have a spell at them tonight?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Might as well give him a Plaster of Paris and get it over with...

 

[aussie tragic]

This makes no sense. Give the gloves to Butler and treat Bairstow in the dressing room

 

[quincywagstaff]

It wasn't expected to turn out this way, but this may be a match where Australia need a fifth bowler.

 

[Burgey]

Last delivery was 91.7mph

Who cares? He’s bowled pus. A terrible length all innings. If 91 mph gets you excited, you’ll see plenty of it when england bats, but it means nothing at this level unless you’re asking questions.

In other news, Rocky KOs Lang in three to regain the title. Never saw it coming

 

[wrongun]

Aus should aim for 500 plus here

 

[ajdude]

feel like this is paine's last chance to make another FC ton. yes i'm fully going for the jinx

Absolutely agree with you. Him amping up the pace seems like he's giving a burst of some sorts

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Ahhh the leggie Denly

Earliest they should be thinking about having a crack at them is just before lunch tomorrow imho.

Poor Leach. Bowled beautifully and nearly had another wicket but will probably end up with 3-120 or something.
