5th Test: Australia v England at Sydney Jan 3-7, 2014

Damn Hads gone, amazing the Poms find a length and they get a wicket. 250 will be a very good score on this.

 

[undertaker]

Johnson, Harris, Siddle and Lyon are really going to need to chip in here with some handy runs. As I said, we get 300+ and we've got out of jail.

 

[Hutty1986]

We were a chance of 350. Now 300 seems a long way away

 

[Meth]

It seems like whenever Stokes bowls a decent ball, he gets a wicket.

 

[Wizardman]

Poms will get nothing...we are okay.

 

[Meth]

That was a crucial innings from Haddin. Hopefully Smith can push on to 3 figures, and the tail sticks with him. If that happens, 350 is definitely within reach

 

[8Ball]

Superb knock from Hads. Made it look like he was facing throw downs.

Smith is still there. Hopefully we get towards 300-320.

 

[Twizzle]

nice innings from Hads, as usual

Stokes has been a good find for the poms, he is a genuine all rounder and I'd gladly take him over Watson any day

The Kiwis would love him:lol:

 

[8Ball]

On a side note, Haddin is 8 runs away from Gilchrist's record for most runs ever in a test series by a wicketkeeper (473). Though Gilchrist did it in 3 tests. :lol:

 

[Rod]

The Kiwis would love him:lol:

I'm happy to stick with Anderson thanks.

But seriously Stokes looks the goods, looks a very useful allrounder.

Wow, most dismissals in a series in England and now a damn good chance for most runs?

Crazy.

 

[Twizzle]

But seriously Stokes looks the goods, looks a very useful allrounder.

when you consider he is still only 22, can bowl up around 140k and I really like his high front elbow and solid defensive technique in his batting

genuine all rounder with a long career ahead of him

 

[African Monkey]

Watching Steve Smith reminds me a lot of Michael Clarke.

 

[Canard]

Australia starting new batting order system where our weakest batsmen play in the first 5 spots.

 

[Dutchy]

So Smith is weak, and Bailey isn't?

 

[jargan83]

Boyd Rankin has returned

 

[Twizzle]

Smith is a Bluebagger

Bailey is a Tasmaniac

big difference

 

[hineyrulz]

Poor bugger is not right to bowl, clearly see he is not 100% lol @ England.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Why is Rankin back out there? The poms have no clue
