So you're saying 3 for **** all inside 2 overs isn't a recipe for success?? Who'd have thought........

Thanks for taking that quote out of context.

My point was that our middle order has been dire for some time and yesterday simply exposed it. Marsh, Voges and Clarke all got out to terrible shots. Nevill played way too late. Warner and Rogers got out to genuinely good balls. Smith has enough credit in the bank for his poor shot - occasionally you'll nick off early in your innings.

Yesterday's poor effort is largely the result of our middle order being dire for way too long.

Warner is actually looking worse here than he did in his 50 in the second innings at Cardiff.

Finn/Wood have been very poor here, Cook's shell looking very costly.

Shows how much Australia let us off the hook first dig though. Tough out the first hour or so and they would have had great conditions to bat.

noooooooooo it begins

I just love Warner's cricket, whether he makes a big score or not always plays positive cricket.

3 out all out. Lose 3 immediately and it's an under 9s scorecard.

Not enjoying this match anymore

I don't know why warner getting jammy runs is a surprise to anyone. One of his hundreds in SA was pretty ****ing terrible actually. Had plenty of luck with edges.

Exactly.

Australia needs 550 in this innings to give themselves a decent chance of winning, and 600 for a very good chance.

Some effort to manage it but he is.

 

[stephen]

One minor compensation for the terrible display yesterday is that we'll actually get the best of the batting conditions on days 2 and 3. We still have to make use of them, which is easier said than done.

If you have his natural striking ability, eye and solid enough technique you'll do that more often than not. He is never going to average high 40s/50s but I'd always pick a bloke who can go off and dominate on majority of pitches in world cricket.

 

[Redbacks]

lol, dropped again

 

[MW1304]

Oh go **** yourselves.

 

[Swingpanzee]

hahaha lol

**** you bell cop that

 

[91Jmay]

FMD that was a difficult one, but we can't keep giving this **** chances. This is getting so annoying now.

 

[King Pietersen]

Warner's a lucky ****.

 

[morgieb]

2nd drop. Wow.
