BCs bowling attack always going to struggle against these Aust batters and our batters have mentality of Aust rugby teams.
Bowling at the stumps for a start might help
-
Bottom line they got intimidated and their brains went to scrambled eggs.
-
They are straying outside off too much
-
This game will be finished by tonight

Lyon teeing off. Eying his first test 50.
That was nicely jinxed. Very good catch.
TV commentators did that. I assume that’s where you got the stat from anyway!
How long do we think they’ll bat today? Get to 400-450? Or just pummel us to oblivion?

Yep, and he’s also scored the most test runs without a 50 ( thanks commentators ) surprising, he looks handy.
Yeah one of these guys will get a hundred today and set us about 500 plus I feel. Sigh. Travis Head is probably due after a run of shit scores.
But on a positive note it always warms my heart seeing a full Basin Reserve. Such a wonderful cricket venue.
Is it just me or does Kuggelien have a weird action ? Looks like he’s asking for a shoulder injury every time he bowls.

Yesterday was not a great day but we've knocked the top off the innings now.
The key will be getting through the middle to lower order without much damage.
Then all we really need is a couple of centuries from 2 of our top order batsman and some handy contributions from middle order to secure a famous victory.

I think they'll look at the weather forecast and aim to set us 450.
Couldn't watch yesterday, but man that was a disappointing day. At 6/176 we'd prised the door open and had a good chance to bowl them out for well under 250. To let them add 200+ from there was abysmal.
I didn't have much faith that we'd score a lot of runs against the Oz attack - they're way better than our bowlers.
But, to run Kane out for a duck and get to 5/29! FFS!

@MN5 I would probably have us behind at this point, with draw being most likely scenario.
If Monday is a washout, then we need to bat all day tomorrow and save this test to redeem the piss-poorness of yesterday!

It's a depressing insight into the annual life of a Wallabies fan.
It's eerily similar isn't it. Like the Wallabies they kill you by allowing you to hope, then snatching that hope away with a spineless capitulation that you never saw coming, though somehow at the same time you knew it was inevitable.
And as an Aussie fan you have this confidence that no matter the jam they get into, they will somehow find their way out.
The sad thing is I only get to enjoy this twice every four years, where you guys get it 3-4 times every year!
