Oh f**k it. Big wicket on the stroke of lunch.

 

[shiznit]

I feel abit for Warner there... He battled hard all morning and then just lost concentration before lunch.

 

[JW]

Ali again FFS.

How embarrassment.

 

[hineyrulz]

Ali 3 wickets for the game, gee whiz.

 

[AusKnightRKO]

We are now screwed.

 

[shiznit]

I was just about to give cook shit for being too reactive then he brings Ali in... :lol:

 

[LeedsRhinos]

We're putting you in your place as a minnow sporting nation.

 

[JW]

Can they at least see out the day and give the reliably crap weather a chance to work its magic.

 

[8Ball]

Again Australia loses another important moment. Just aren't getting it done this match.

 

[Pete Cash]

Warner just lost concentration. Our luck that it picks up a wicket.

 

[Snappy]

We're putting you in your place as a minnow sporting nation.

How about you win the series before mouthing off you unwashed merkin

 

[hineyrulz]

We're putting you in your place as a minnow sporting nation.

Goes missing for over an hour, neck Minnit a wicket and he is back stinking the place up like a 3 day old turd.

What is all this luck bullshit? Thoroughly out played this test.

What is all this luck bullshit? Thoroughly out played this test.

You haven't been watching closely enough.
Johnson has had the worst luck of any bowler I've ever seen this match.

 

[Pete Cash]

Lucks a part of test cricket. We've let ourselves down so many times. Haddin dropped catch, all our middle order batsmen making 30s but not going on with it, letting Wood take the game from us with good hitting, taking to the second innings to put on any pressure. So much fail.

Johnson has had the worst luck of any bowler I've ever seen this match.

Warner played and missed 10 times prior to reaching 10. He was lucky to get to 50 and didn't go on with it. Instead Ali bowled a nice length, Warner played a poor shot and he was out.

As Pete says, close calls are part of Cricket as they are of all sport. You can't isolate close calls going against you and identify that as the reason why you are on the precipice of losing a match.

 

[LeedsRhinos]

Hahah another one gone in the 30's, see you later Steve!

 

[TimmyB]

We are just so unlucky.

 

[Timbo]

That's the game.

 

[hineyrulz]

ffs!! The Pommy bowlers have totally out bowled us this match. Luck has had nothing to do with it.
