[yobbo84]

No slips, doesn’t take the new ball. Why?

 

[TheParraboy]

4 for Murphy?

 

[jargan83]

That's plumb

 

[AlwaysGreen]

384 to win. I predict we'll be 7/43 @ lunch.

I guess that is why

 

[undertaker]

Umpires call? ROFL!

Surely that ball wasn't bouncing up that high to the point of just clipping the bails!

 

[Hutty1986]

Our batsmen to absolutely crumble here, in about a session and a half. Pind*ck Broad 5/22.

 

[undertaker]

That's plumb

Yes the DRS ball tracker had it as just clipping the stumps! What a joke.

The ball definitely wasn't bouncing up that high

I saw that and thought DRS is drunk. But we're bowling so obviously it's Umpires Call.

Yeah full expect us to get rolled for under 200, but gees it'd be great if we were 2/250 at stumps...

 

[jargan83]

How many balls will Warner survive for? Wouldn't surprise me if goes out and kicks his stumps over just so he doesn't get out to Broad for one last time.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

This broadfest is nauseating.

 

[Tweed Titan]

The fraud with a convincing French cut to get off the mark

 

[TheParraboy]

Shot Davey

 

[Marchad]

As soon as England start bowling the clouds come over.

 

[some11]

Lets see if we can last until rain comes.

If they had any guts at all they'd at least try to bat out a draw over a couple of sessions.

 

[TheParraboy]

Our run rate is 5.5

take that bazball...



after 2 overs

 

[Eelectrica]

On track to have this game won by the end of the day unless the rain interrupts our march to victory.

 

[Front-Rower]

Well if you’re going to score the best part of 400 in the fourth innings this is the chance to do it. The wicket is flat and the ball isn’t swinging yet. Saying that, we might be all out 150.
