I don't think we've left ourselves enough time to get England. Really, yesterday should have literally been getting Khawaja to 100, not wasting time afterward trying to get Green a ton as well. Why even send out Carey? He wasn't about to get decent minutes with a clear intent to smash it.

Sure it was only 2 overs, but a respectable 60ish not out was enough for Green to drag up his series average. Got the ton. Had a lead of well over 300 at that point.

NTA

Carey drops one. Two hands for beginners fuck ya

This thread might get a bit quiet. The real action is happening across the ditch. Come and visit and give your thoughts if need be.

NTA

@mn5 home team no chance of losing this one. Sorry.

NTA

Carey makes up for it.

Hameed needs to take a leaf of Crawley's book. Not positive enough.

Doubled the best opening partnership of England previous this series. Which isn't saying much.

MN5

Hameed nearly got to double figures so that’s an improvement.

He’s a cricketer, not an offensive lineman or pro wrestler…..but he has to be about the least physically imposing international I’ve ever seen. Looks like an absolute runt and appears to have no confidence at all.

Pump some iron son, try and be a bit more Matthew Hayden or Chris Gayle.

NTA

Boland test career overs: 33% are wicket maidens as of right now.

NTA

Crawley looks class

NTA

Lyon gets Malan with a quicker ball that doesn't spin.

Very Smith-like dismissal

NTA

Crawley yorked LBW. That came out of nowhere

NTA

Harris drops stokes cold.

NTA

Boland gets root.

Funny what happens when you bowl in the right areas instead of chucking pies. Looking at you, Mitch...

Rangas together. Let's see if they can rescue the game.

England will be fine.

No Quarter

Smith and Warner back in the side, Cummins suddenly getting it to swing late when they really need it, nothing suspicious there

I am finding myself wanting Aussie to win this. What's wrong with me?

NTA

Some sloppy fielding by Australia today. Deserve to draw.

NTA

Ok that was a sharp grab

Yes is it wrong that is exactly the thought that went through my head too.

Lol yeah especially when the comms were saying"that's the first ball that's swung all game, amazing bowling".

And not wrong, Aus deserve to be mocked for at least 100 years for that.

NTA

Jeez we're not getting this unless we bowl at the stumps
