'sake - gifting them runs here.

Need a new spinner again

Wow these Aussies are total pussies, should be declaring.

England chase down 359 last time in 126 overs, that isn't going to be the case this time, can't they not work this out?

Like I said earlier, they will make it so they can't lose first.

They will have faith that they can bowl us out in 3 sessions.

Leach going at 7 an over when we're trying to keep the run rate down. Aye, great captaincy Joe

 

[safcpelaw]

Get the spinner off would say give stokes a few overs.

Need a new spinner again

That Ali looked good in the 20/20 like should go for him.

 

[dixonsafc]

Leach has been lifting here.

Get Broad and Archer on and trying to snap Starcs fingers.

 

[TopCat]

Now Archer bowling leg stump filth at 87Mph

Exactly why we should have boundary riders out all over the field - it's not an ODI, we can put everyone out if we want.

Like I said earlier, they will make it so they can't lose first.

I said earlier I think they want a 400 lead. We should be making it as difficult as possible for them to get there.
WTF is Overton coming on for?

He's not going to terrify Starc is he?

I like Root as a player but, f@@k me, as a Captain he is woeful.

And England’s hopes tomorrow rely on this one.

 

[Sharpshooter]

No way England are chasing 380 in 100 overs. They'll be barely crawling at 2 an over.

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

Well I've seen enough. Off to the match

Broad and archer cant bowl all the time

That in itself is dangerous as they could become bogged down and over-defensive.

That way the Aussies get more overs in.

 

[safcpelaw]

One plus point is root as captain will be over surely. He’s a nice guy and a good batsman but he has no idea how to work his bowlers.

 

[dixonsafc]

Is that a time wasting DRS?

 

[Silly Point]

One plus point is root as captain will be over surely. He’s a nice guy and a good batsman but he has no idea how to work his bowlers.

Or set a field

Trying to waste time, aye, keep a spinner on.

Hpw do you work our bowlers then

Captain could bowl himself or Stokes though...

That's the pace they were going at in the first innings with Root and Burns, 2.5. I don't see them jumping to 4 an over.
