Any chance Patto and Lyon can pretend to be concussed and we can bring in two new bowlers tomorrow?

Dosed off in the lounge and wake up 15 minutes past stumps with Billy Birmingham and Ray Martin having a chat.

Seemed weird to wake up to with no context.

Wouldn’t surprise me if England wins. The first session tonight will tell us a whole lot.

 

[Wizardman]

I think you have to call it advantage to England. Tomorrow is without a doubt the biggest of the series if the weather is clear. A win to Australia pretty much gives us the Ashes. A win to England would give them a massive boost as it would be one of the great wins in test history considering their first innings score was only 67.

Just need to bowl tight keep the pressure on and the wickets will come. Paine needs to hold his nerve.

Gee thanks scoop, only thing missing was this test was a game of two halves

 

[Eelectrica]

We can't let Root get his hundred if he does he'll end up taking this the rest of the way, or close enough to it.

We need Stokes and Root gone in the first session basically.

 

[Wizardman]

A loss would certainly be a backbreaker for us.

 

[Eelectrica]

Get Cameron Smith on the next flight to England, he'll sort these umpires out for us.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

England got this. Easily.
Which is a shame. I really wanted Ashes locked up in our pocket with two tests to play.

 

[Dave's mate]

Lots of cowards in here. We'll roll them easy, no way in the world that little peahearted lesbian gets them home

Sportsbet have Aus at $1.37.

We really should be in a far more comfortable position, but the Poms are still a long way off. They're now in with a very slight chance which at the start of the day they didn't have at all, but still way off being anywhere near in front in the game. If they're only 4, maybe 5 down with 100 to go, then it might be time to move on to a stiff drink.

 

[Eelectrica]

Ghosts of the passed coming back to haunt us.

Higher scores, but still...

Being a Parra, Aus cricket supporter and Miami Dolphins supporter has left me scarred for life I think. Please Australia think of the psychiatrists who have to clean up this mess, don't let this one slip.
