2019 ASHES: 4th Test Australia v England, Old Trafford Sept 4-9

[undertaker]

The highest run chase ever achieved at Old Trafford is 286 back in 1984. You have nothing to worry about.

If Ponting didn't get out (brilliant innings) and England weren't cheating using breath mints for their reverse swing (confirmed by Marcus Trescothick), Australia would've gone very close to chasing down 423.

If they get Smith and Labu cheaply they will knock us all over for 100 and win this test easily.

BM you old shagger

How’s the international modeling/police work going ?

Still in Coffs ?

If Steve Smith makes runs again in this innings then he is officially God

I will duly convert and become a Smithian, becoming one of those awfully annoying preachers on the corner of a busy CBD street

I once referred to him as Steve Shit.

I have since repented.

It would still require a record 4th innings run chase on this ground if we make 100.

You think that's bad, our wicketkeeper once famously said that he'd run home from training naked if Smith ever scored a hundred...he's since moved overseas, I have to believe in part because of how often we remind him

Fair call to bring up unsuccessful chases, but you also know how unlikely chasing 300+ is.

Lol. I go pick up my sister from the station and both the openers are out.

 

[Hutty1986]

Ball doing a bit, or just our usual incompetence?

Well records have fallen recently if you haven't noticed.

 

[Bazal]

Looked outside the line to me...?

 

[butchmcdick]

Stop reviewing idiots

 

[some11]

f**king plumb.

Everyone channeling their inner wazn.

 

[Bazal]

Well not outside the line but f**k me Kumar is a trigger happy merkin

 

[Eelectrica]

Now we're in trouble.
At least we keep the review, but damn. This just got real.

 

[Hutty1986]

We are in some bother now...

 

[JW]

And just like that, we're out of reviews.

Edit - Missed the Umps call, but still, plumb as.

All of this is very very promising for England's 2nd innings. In our favour of course
