I feel like a broken record but i will post it again anyway.

I’m off to bed this is too f**king depressing

 

[Hutty1986]

Lol absolute innocuous shit from Labu. Shit session, and series defining by the looks of it.

 

[Bazal]

Good time for lunch, head off, settle down, get back on the plan.

 

[Eelectrica]

Stokes has set himself to be not out at the end of this. Allows Bairstow to attack and get the runs.

Labuschagne has potential as a leggie, but needs to drop the pace by about 5mph (not run to the crease like a medium pacer) and flight it a bit more. He doesn't have the sharp turn of someone like Rashid Khan or the build/height of someone like Anil Kumble to spear them in at 90km/h+, so for Labuschagne's situation, flight and accuracy become more important.

When he was bowling around 57mph, he had to sacrifice flight, trajectory was too flat and Bairstow/Stokes were able to play him off the back foot with consummate ease. When he dropped it to 51mph and flighted the ball a bit more, he had Bairstow second-guessing.

It was so obvious Australia was gonna be apart of giving up another record

It will be the 3rd lowest 1st innings total that has gone on to win a test match if England can pull this off:

Still another 121 runs required.

There sure has been a lot of unwanted records broken by this mediocre aussie side over the past decade-in all formats.

Put some epsom salts in there and it will cure the AIDS Australia just gave us

 

[Pete Cash]

A bad day happens to all sides but what has gone on with Australian cricket. Its in terrible state.

 

[undertaker]

An extended session (2 1/2 hours) coming up that will decide not just the result of this test, but possibly the series.

Somehow, Australia have got to find a way of breaking this partnership within the first 30 mins or so after lunch
