4TH ASHES TEST: England v Australia at Chester-le-Street Aug 9-13, 2013

[LeedsRhinos]

And the target is 299?

Yep

 

[BDR]

Just can't see us scoring 300. Hope I'm wrong, will require some gutsy knocks at the top of the order. Plenty of time to do it, gotta keep our heads and preserve wickets.

 

[TheParraboy]

I have a feeling Warner will get a decent score 80 plus and set us up nicely

 

[herbert henry1908]

Going to suggest something wild here.


Reverse the order.


New ball taking all the wickets, lets see if the tail can take some shine off.


Out there, i know.

 

[Xfactor1979]

Yep

Well hopefully Australia makes a game of it

Theres enough time left in the game

For one: Its a game against England FFS, the most bitter rivalry in cricket/ world sports, test nations have dropped off by the wayside to accommodate and perpetuate this frivolous rivalry FFS! (ie the West Indies, Pakistan and India and their clownery regarding cricket as a business)

If it was New Zealand batting and were skittled for 62, it wouldnt matter so much

 

[Horrie Is God]

Each innings this test has been higher than the one before it..

We don't actually need this trend to continue for us to win..

It would have been more handy if Messirs Starc, Pattinson and Agar were playing. Those were better lower order batsmen

Lyon and Bird would last less than 10 balls

 

[LeedsRhinos]

England bowl Australia out for 225

 

[Horrie Is God]

We need a knock from Mr Teeny like his ton in Hobart..

 

[LeedsRhinos]

Barmy army trumpet playing the rocky song to Warner first ball, quality banter

 

[hineyrulz]

Another couple 100 in byes works.

 

[BDR]

At least Warner is looking pretty watchful early on. Just need to hit the bad balls and keep it ticking down.

 

[Jason Maher]

You've just made BM's day.

 

[hineyrulz]

This could be close, and Hill is normally wrong.

 

[Horrie Is God]

A foot outside leg..

Cheers poms..

 

[BDR]

Never out. Surprised how confidently they challenged.

 

[hineyrulz]

There goes a review, just like LeedsWanker once we got on top.

 

[TheParraboy]

pitched well outside leg from first viewing any merkin could see that, which is why the umpire convincingly gave it not out

stupid poms, one wasted review

 

[Jason Maher]

Our reviewing has rubbed off on the Poms.

 

[BDR]

Radio commentary just threw up Phil Jacques, whatever happened to that guy? Thought he was a pretty quality opener to be fair.
