3RD ASHES TEST: England v Australia at Manchester Aug 1-5, 2013

[herbert henry1908]

We haven't bowled England out for under 350 since the first innings of the series. No indication that we're going to start now, need to score around 200 in this dig, and quickly too.

Yeah , really interesting to see what sort of a target we set.


We don't have a great spinner , so that's a real issue on day 5.


Rogers needs to get a hurry on.

Read on twitter that it's raning in the greater Manchester area. Might have to get the covers out during lunch.

 

[Mr Angry]

Suck shit twatto.

Nasser Hussain is an Arsenal fan. Always thought he was a top bloke. Gary Neville is a wanker.

Smith needs to bowl in last innings, Warner too, why not

 

[Danish]

We are going to need to risk a very real chance of losing to have any chance of winning this test. A draw is pointless.

I reckon they'll be looking to declare before tea, and hopefully have a lead of 300+ by that stage. Regardless of what the lead is I can't see Clarke allowing us to bat in the final session today, so even if we are a bit short I think he'd sooner set them a smaller than ideal target than reduce the amount of overs our bowlers will have to get them out

 

[Jason Maher]

Gary Neville = legend

 

[Red&BlackBear]

Kenny gone..

 

[TheParraboy]

1/23 rogers gone

[abpanther]

Khawaja in, Swann in

Bad news

 

[hineyrulz]

I can really see us losing from here :crazy:

 

[Jason Maher]

Warner at 1, Watson at 6 is what our order should be anyway.

 

[BunniesMan]

Warner should be 6. Watson should be out of the team.

Gary Neville = legend

He is a well paid troll.

 

[8Ball]

Warner should be 6. Watson should be out of the team.

Shut. The. f**k. Up.

 

[BDR]

Why on earth would they send in Khawaja instead of Twatto? Can't see the reasoning there.

 

[LeedsRhinos]

Expecting rain, they've moved the covers so they're close to the pitch.

 

[Xfactor1979]

This test match has a more inevitable result than what happens at the end of sbs's "Better Man"

 

[lockyno1]

Khawaja....hit out or get out, take your pick!

 

[BunniesMan]

Hopefully Watsons demotion means they are looking at dropping him for the 4th test.

 

[ceagle]

DRS gonna f**k us over again here?
