I do fear for Warner batting in this tonight though. Only gonna get tougher.

"They've fielded so well in this series" uh no we haven't Nass, we've dropped catches constantly the whole way through

Only England fail to take their chances mate. Nothing else explains the series scoreline. Nothing.

 

[Burgey]

Nice from Murphy. Not seen him bowl before this tour, action reminds me a bit of Graeme Swann. Flighted that one to get Wood nicely.

He’s a decent bowler tbh. Obviously didn’t get much of a go in the third test, but I think that was more the pace England went at in the fourth dig chasing a moderate total than it was to do with him in particular.

Come on nose or toes length like athers said

 

[Calm_profit]

Is Murphy turning out to be Australia's greatest offspinner?

 

[Spark]

See how you get catching opportunities if you keep fielders in the ring? Funny how that happens

I don't think I've ever seen more filthy slogs on day 1 of a Test. Sehwag not included

I think out of all the days of Test cricket I’ve seen, this might be the weirdest in a series which isn’t fully decided.

 

[loterry1994]

Think when mooen got out and stokes came
In that’s when the trouble began the run rate slowed a bit and their batters were stuck in the middle on how to play the situation

 

[RightArmMystery]

Going down by a mile surely?

 

[Jfry]

That is a shocking review

Tell me the weirder one anyway

 

[loterry1994]

Surprised the umpires didn’t give that out

You call it slogging, they call it saving test cricket and dominating

 

[loterry1994]

Man they didn’t look close to clipping

 

[RightArmMystery]

Harry needs a better pair of specs

 

[Jfry]

Lyon would've taken that

 

[Spark]

This has not been a red letter day quality wise

 

[Spark]

Lyon would've taken that

I remember Lyon once dropping one that was even easier than that at the MCG
