<p>Aussie have been getting big reverse swing from 15 - 20 over mark. Crazy stuff.</p>

<p>Maybe Voges keeps a stash of vaseline in his surgical glove</p> -
Pattinson is appealing for everything like an Indian cricketer.

Comon cricket gods, is it too much to ask for Baz to come off just one more time?
-
Apparently so

Apparently a really good catch from Warner after McCullum had tonked the previous one.</p></blockquote>6 and out, classic macca -
<p>Statistically speaking McCullum has produced the best final Test in history by a captain 170 runs.</p>

<p>Bryan Waddle was saying the Umps asked them to stop throwing the ball into the ground twice and also did so in the 1st innings....</p> -

They'd be staring down the barrel of a much bigger deficit if he hadn't delivered. Great work from the Wag.<br><br>
Goes without saying at least someone from the top four needs a really big score after some limp efforts, not only that but to get them at a reasonably decent clip too given <strong>we're right on half way in the match.</strong></p></blockquote>
<br>
Oh yeah. <br><br>
Was thinking it was day 4. <br><br>
Damn.<br><br>
We're screwed then -

<p>Cheating pricks...cue Nick...</p> -
<p>So fair to say hopes rest on the not particularly broad shoulders of KW once again. Him and Anderson/Watling performing ridiculously heroic deeds and getting the team out of this look pretty appealing but with two full days left it's fair to say we're 99% fucked given that this "average" Aussie batting line up has more than enough time to mop everything up.</p>

<p>Gamesmanship. Like bowling a short leg stump line because you've run out of plans. And talent.</p> -

<p>I like your Scottish misery. It invigorates me.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>However, one thing we haven't had in a few tries is a ridiculous middle order collapse. Don't count it out.</p> -
<p>My dourness knows no bounds......</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was lead to believe that this was an average Aussie team but fuck a duck, three average round 50, el capitain can be ugly to watch but averages close to 60. Aw and there's the undismissable Adam Voges. Even Mitch Marsh can't balance that lot out.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So stop with that "middle order collapse" underdog shit.</p>
