***Official*** 3rd Test at the WACA

[Burgey]

That is a ****ing piss-weak dismissal when you have a chance to put your team in a dominant position.

It was a very Australia mid-80s vs West Indies type dismissal

 

[Starfighter]

I don't see them getting 500 now. And they need 500.

 

[vcs]

Australia would be happy with <450. Still England, given their lower order should be targeting that at a minimum.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

That was a soft dismissal; kinda like a lob back to an offie

Yeah it's the way it just sort of looped slowly to second slip. Always a bit emasculating when that happens.

 

[Alex0paul]

Can see Broad slogging a 30+ score here

 

[stephen]

Really on a pitch like this you need to get a bloke before he gets to 20. Once they're set they're not getting out.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

What, Mark; the no.6 batsman on 110* is an important person to have stay in when wickets are falling and the tail's coming in?


You don't say

 

[OverratedSanity]

Wtf was that Bairstow? Calm down

 

[Spark]

Hoo boy that would have been a heroically bad way to get out

 

[Starfighter]

Oh FFS Johnny, just bat normally. Get to 40 overs when the ball's really soft.

 

[stephen]

Of course the wickets start tumbling after I return to my desk.

 

[Spark]

Might be an idea to try hitting the poles

 

[Starfighter]

It's a bit too novel for the Australian cricketing intellect. We're trying to get revenge for Bodyline remember?

 

[stephen]

Or giving the ball to the guy who took a wicket an over our two ago, who has hardly bowled.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Damn, immaculate timing from Woakes

 

[OverratedSanity]

Man, these are some soft dismissals

 

[Spark]

Oh my god how the hell do you get out like that

 

[Spark]

Like that's classic David Gower level

 

[stephen]

Haze deserved that for his spell yesterday.
