The Ashes!

[Travitoh]

Is Shaun Marsh cricket's Mitchell Pearce? How does the bloke keep getting chances?

Tip:-the poms won't make it to 100 in either inings at the WACA!

I would be handing the No 6 spot to Daniel Hughes,if we're struggling he can graft,if we're on top he can put on 50 real quick.
What he would do to a tiring pommy attack would be awesome to watch!
Actually I'm not convinced that there would be much difference between a fresh or tiring pommy attack!

 

[Travitoh]

I would've kept Renshaw and played Bancroft at 6.
Tim Paine's selection is left field but no one else has put forward strong enough form to complain about missing out.
I'd be tempted to play Sayers over Cummins for the D/N tests but it's probably unlikely.

I don't know what to make of it all........

England have fought hard here and are putting up a fight at a snails pace...

Root will look to move it along now....

Boy we'd love to get Root out and then a couple may fall...

So ENG: 2/144 in 59th over

Nevill should be the keeper as well....... Paine dropped one of course....

I reckon the selectors wanted Carey but the truth is that no keeper at state level did anything to force the selectors in to selecting them, hence why they brought in Paine from the wilderness.

I reckon England have the edge after today. Should the weather stay away, batting will get easier and they've got 200 on the board after losing an hour or so to rain.

Sadly the only coverage in the UK will be on BTSport. There won't be even any terrestrial highlights this series so the majority of people won't even be watching.
Money rules.....

I can't seen England getting much more than 350-370.

We should pick up a wicket with this new ball....

 

[Travitoh]

Steve Smith is just a different class. He didn't look bothered.
Usman could be in a bit of strife, Maxwell knocked up a double ton today for Victoria and is still at the crease

 

[Rabbits20]

Just before 6:30 AEDT and just before 6:00 in Adelaide they showed the crowd and from side on there was a man in a Souths member cap......

Maybe it was Travitoh hahahaha.......

 

[Rabbits20]

Now it's raining....

England will be doing the rain dance to save themselves from humiliation.....

So hard batting under lights with the ball moving all over the place....

Haha. Not me mate, i didn't get a ticket for this test but I'd be representing my clubs attire if i were. Plenty of Souths merch getting about in SA though.

Guys, there's random Souths guys at almost every sporting event haha! Heck, I saw a Souths jersey while watching the Blackcaps vs West Indies the other day no joke haha. We're everywhere us Souths fans!

 

[Inkers75]

I saw a Souths fan a couple of years ago at a Leeds Rhinos game. Mind you he spoke in a Yorkshire accent and was chanting for Ryan Hall.

Your a pom remember, that is what you said.

Until the Yorkshire accent, that could've easily been me.
I met a couple of Souths fans at the Taps before or after games and had a good chat with them.
I really enjoyed going to watch the Rhinos.

Back on topic, when will English captains learn that if you win the toss in Australia, you bat first

 

[Travitoh]

I would've sent England in again, get at them again while their heads are down.
Allowing them to bowl again and at this stage of the test gives them an opportunity to regain some confidence and a bit of feel good factor amongst the group going in to the final innings

 

[Travitoh]

England have their tails up now and are back in the game while we're backing in our decision to bat by sending in a night-watchman. Well done Smith.
