He walked out the way.

129 TO WIN!

 

[Simon]

shaun tait - brain explosion, what was that!

 

[Scaly piscine]

What the hell was he thinking there, then?

I feel like having a bowl in 20 minutes?

 

[Adamc]

Conspiracy? I don't know what to say about that. Can you please elaborate?

Richie is spot on there. That was silly

Haha, I wasn't actually suggesting that there is a conspiracy, just that a lot of people have mentioned that the stumps haven't been as umm... 'responsive' as usual, given the number of times similar things have happened during this series and the Natwest Series. Seems to me that there is a problem as well.

Didn't happen that time though, silly Tait.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Don't like to criticise a no. 11 too much, but jeez that's not too clever, is it?!

Well Oz have something to bowl at now at least.

It's not just not too clever, it's unbelievably mind-blowingly stupid. I don't believe any batsman in the world would walk outside off stump when you're just trying to keep going and see thngs off...

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Last ball of the over too, all he had to do was duck out the way or block the full one and he'd have got off strike.

One less than we did in 1981 during 'Botham's Ashes'

Take a bow, Shane Warne?

Very good ball from Harmy (probably would have been too good no matter what the shot) but, for about the zillionth time this series, WHAT THE !@#$%^^&&**( WAS THAT?

No. I think they'll wrap it up in about 25 overs.

Not a prayer in the world.

There's still 41 overs to go today.

If England are only 3 down at the close, they'll have won an hour before. Now if they're 8 down and hanging on, then you might have a point.

The difference on this occasion is that it was a tail-ender on debut - and a bunny with the bat by all accounts.

Now if it was Gilchrist or Hayden, you might have a point.

Symptomatic, I'm afraid.

Looking forward to the evening session, hopefully we'll have some fireworks and it'll be wrapped up nicely.

Bowling Lee.

 

[BoyBrumby]

New ball for Kasper? Bit of a slap in the face for the young fella.

 

[Majin]

Shot Tresco.
