*Official* Third Test at the WACA

[GotSpin]

Needs Chin music. Great batting from Lyon

 

[91Jmay]

4th slip is a run saving position currently. Australia have had the better morning now, 60 runs is what they'd have hoped for.

 

[Spark]

It's that same pattern again - Anderson and Broad finish their first spells and suddenly batting looks so much easier

 

[Spark]

That'll ring in his ears for a few hours

 

[Coronis]

Nice dent.

 

[benchmark00]

About time, weak as piss bowling to Lyon up until this point, allowing him to just rock on the front stool.

 

[91Jmay]

Damaged caused by the heavy ball Tim Bresnan is still allowed to use.

 

[Son Of Coco]

There we go...

 

[Noppe]

How on earth have england allowed our tailenders to do wack them for 50 +

its a perfect pitch to bowl to them

 

[nightprowler10]

Thank god for snicko there.

 

[Son Of Coco]

All the bowlers seem to be following the same plan with no 3rd slip...interesting.

 

[benchmark00]

Thank god for snicko there.

Hotspot didn't show a mark on the helmet ftr.

 

[Ruckus]

god, 42.3, that is intolerable

 

[Spark]

Well 385 looks plenty for me

 

[91Jmay]

Suppose it could have been worse, as the game is completely over yet but Australia 80 above par for my money.

 

[Cabinet96]

I still think the pitch is pretty flat FTR. Not that much sideways, although it's quickened up and Broad and Anderson bowled pretty well this morning.

Of course, none of that means anything when it comes to England about to bat on a fast pitch.

 

[nightprowler10]

Tuned in to watch blood on the pitch. Come on Mitch.

 

[benchmark00]

A big part of Australia's bowling is the ability to tie batsmen down for overs on end, building pressure for a chunk of overs. Harder to do at the WACA so it will be interesting to see what plans they come up with to do so.

 

[Ruckus]

think harris will be really good here. Looks like there is very subtle movement off the pitch, and he typically excels when that is the case.

 

[Cabinet96]

Harris is going to be such a test to the left handers here.
