The Ashes (Australia tour of England)

[Jalen]

Great day of cricket for Australia. Bowlers hitting the right length and bowling beautifully with a fit Starc on the bench ready if necessary. Best test batsman in the world to come next match, Paine keeping and captaining beautifully(could do with some runs though). This series could've gone either way from the start due to the fragile batting lineups of both teams. It's much more entertaining to see ball dominate in red ball cricket rather than bat. What a time to be alive

So who is getting dropped for Labuschagne?

Worry for me would be Root bowling him into the ground.

Yeah I take back what I said about him not being injury prone...He already had a side strain after WC and I heard he was off due to cramps yesterday or something.

Yeh, not looking good for England. With 2 full days to go, runs are not an issue. Can England survive though? I do not think so.

Would be incredible if England end up winning this.

If they survive they win: no draw possible I would say.

Here we go.

That delivery to Roy was an absolute peach!! What's up with Pat Cummins batting though? He was good enough to bat at 7 a year back!

Khawaja, labuschagne will bat 3

 

[wasteyouryouth]

Khawaja, labuschagne will bat 3

Yeah, that's how I'd go. Labuschagne looks like he could do the job there.

So according to Mark Nicholas in the lunch time break coverage, the balls being used in this series are the same as the ones they used against India last summer and apparently they have more of a proud seam... and old Ricky Ponting reckons it’s difficult to explain why the pitch is still playing the way it is even though the weathers been quite dry???

And has there ever been more Batsman hit in the head in 2 3/4 tests before???

If they survive they win: no draw possible I would say.

Not even a remote chance of rain playing spoilsport? You know, it's England after all.

Whisper it softly, but England are doing pretty decently at the moment.

Don't you dare!

Fook me this is like waiting for the inevitable.
