[CartyDurham]

cracking atmosphere mind


not labuschagne test so far. Golden globe and that

 

[Spark]

That was a pretty rank innings, gotta say. I think about 15 of those runs came off edges

 

[social]

That’s sharp

 

[slowfinger]

hahahahah he scraped it on the ground as he threw it up to celebrate

 

[grecian]

urgh such a predictable dismissal.

 

[RightArmMystery]

Moeen reminding us all exactly why he stopped playing Tests. He's ****ing terrible.

 

[CartyDurham]

the real question is, should we declare now to protect Moeen's finger, because, what if he gets hit on the finger and can't bowl?

I know you are after me .

that’s out this time though

every time there’s a dodgy appeal, the Aussies take a proper wicket, a few balls later

236 the lead.

 

[TimAngas]

Saving Hazlewood for the tail may actually work out here.

 

[Burgey]

Not the sort of bloke you’d want in the trenches with you, Moeen

 

[chunksafc]

Need some more runs on the board, hopefully Broad can stick around and get us up closer to 300

Defintely need more and if we get 300 , I’ll be ecstatic

 

[Nintendo]

****ing muppet moeen. Need broad to meme a 10 here to get 250.

Odds of Broad getting in behind it?

Don’t know, he is handy with spray cans and grenades

I remember he batted a full day to almost save what seemed a totally lost game, so clearly he doesn't have to bat like this, but that was just a mindless innings. Loose swipes at everything

V Sri Lanka that one

smith drops one

so there will probably be a wicket in a few balls the way it’s been going

A glorious innings but that was almost a decade ago. Sadly never played another one like it.
