Absolute ****

 

[Burgey]

What’s the over rate now? Has to be horrible

They said earlier today the Aus over rate yesterday was fractionally better than England’s, like 12.4 vs 12.2 or something. Was surprised to hear that given the state of the game

 

[CartyDurham]

33 for Bairstow . Reckon he has two overs to get them

 

[Socerer 01]

short balls to a no 11 what a genius move

 

[CartyDurham]

Bairstow trying but he has 10 balls for 33, maybe less as the declaration is imminent

That 6 helps

looks like it 230pm and that was it

Downhill skiing or not, pleased for YJB here. Especially because of the grief he’s had from a lot of England supporters

For decades I’ve watched and read Australia pummelling England

I think it’s fair to be able to gloat a little watching this

Let's keep batting until one of them is out

gloat all you want you beautiful man you deserve to

 

[91Jmay]

Is it an analytics that says you must just bowl short at the tail or something?

 

[CartyDurham]

Last over I think now

26 required

They haven't won a series over here for 18 years tbf.

This is just Stokes being gunshy now. Declaration wouldn't be a bad choice now actually, given the forecast and the fact that you almost have a 200 ****ing run lead. Even 30, 40 odds runs ago would have been miles better than the 1st Test declaration decision.

Actually, change my mind on this. England are scoring very quickly even by their own standards. Can't blame Stokes for this, even if the game does get washed out. Good captaincy overall, and learning from previous errors.

 

[CartyDurham]

Dinesh Karthik is right . This series may just have turned on that Lyon injury

 

[White Ball]

How’s that rain coming along?

 

[loterry1994]

Hard to declare now with bairstow close to the hundred
