If Australia can somehow win this test, the Poms will psychologically crumble and won't recover from this. A 5-0 whitewash will definitely be on the cards.

McCullum et al. are well aware it's all or nothing in this test: this is their best chance to win playing their top fast bowlers, not to mention Cummins and Hazlewood not playing.

What's worse for Broady being stuck in the comm box while England lose wickets or stuck next Haydos dribbling.
How Haydos continues getting commentary gigs blows my mind.

Last year's WTC final at Lord's, he just kept going on for minutes about how fat Ian Smith was etc.

I would still prefer to watch this game instead of that boring Melbourne test of 2017 on that drop in highway
LOL!

That abomination of a pitch at the MCG in 2017 is still one of the worst I've ever seen dished up for test cricket in Australia.

On day 5, it still looked like the pitch could've lasted a few more days.

2 day Tests now.

Tell me T20 hasn't ruined cricket.
This x 1000.

At least with the two-day test at the Gabba in 2022, there was way too much grass left on the pitch. The fast bowlers had an absolute field day with the excess seam movement on offer from ball one. The Saffers score 50 more runs, and Australia would've struggled chasing down sub-100 on that surface.

No such excuses this time around in Perth.

That’s why we don’t get enough overs in. That drinks cart either needs a Hemi upgrade or just get the lazy shits to run the esky out
