[This Year?]

I sense a golden chance coming our way which will be dropped before lunch

LOL the greatest choke in history is nigh

 

[yobbo84]

Aussies shitting the bed here.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

The pitch is a f**king road and we're shitting our dacks

 

[Pete Cash]

If you can't defend this score you do not deserve to be a test match bowler. Simple as that.

It would literally be a record chase and you wanna blame the bats lmao

Its a day 3 pitch. It isnt a normal 4th innings chase. The batsmen tossed it away mate. They should have been looking to bat until stumps yesterday at a minimum. How many third innings (or second even) scores of 350 are there ? Plenty

 

[Jason Maher]

Stokes and Bairstow have switched to one day mode, and we've obliged them by bowling utter rubbish. If they do go on and win, it will have to go down as one of the most embarrassing losses in the history of test match cricket.

Time for bed

Will this trick work again?

Mate the pitch map looks like a spread of bombs in Iraq under Bush...it's a day 4 deck, you should defend this with half decent bowling.

I just... I just need SOMETHING this sporting season
2013's 'darkest day in Australian sports' got nothing on the way this feels right now...

It's all over folks, pitch is dead.

Paine is either match fixing or incompetent.

 

[Meapro Ham]

Ok who’s got the sandpaper

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Good God Paine is such an atrocious keeper

Yep, we've had f**king nothing for years, bar a couple of origin wins. No way in hell they should have lost this FFS

I agree we arent bowling well but we should have set them 500 as a minimum. Its silly to just say but but but its the 4th innings. They started the run chase when we should have been batting still.

This is not a traditional 4th innings chase because the pitch is good for batting

I'll go the later. Looking like a massive bed wetter atm.

I'd say shit bowling has a fair amount to do with it.That and Bairstows uncanny luck early on.

 

[tumbidragon]

Gary to pull us outa the fire!

 

[undertaker]

absolute beauty from Lyon there to Stokes.

 

[Pete Cash]

Ive wet more beds than most folks have had hot dinners but i know a choke when i see one and it didnt start today. It started in our second batting innings
