Australia v England, 2nd Test, 4th December 0400

[DonaldDownTheWing]

I’d like to see us make more use of running between the wickets. Not every ball needs to get to the rope, there’s plenty of runs to be made by finding gaps.

 

[HeroHurley]

Whisper it but are we actually settling into this not too bad? Going at nearly 5 an over too. Keep it up lads.

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

Whisper it but TNT coverage is a bit better, actually added crowd noise now

Rob Hatch is a good commentator, provided the experts with him are good. He’ll not waffle on and will leave the insight to those that have actually played the game.

When the other commentators come on I’ll swap to fox though.

Still looks like Crawley is only a ball away from a brain fade.

50 partnership in 56 balls.

Think they are starting to do this

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

Well we’ve managed to steady the ship after Starc did Starc things at the start.

Still scoring at just under 5 an over, and that 50 partnership is a ball short of run a ball. Shows you don’t have to swing at everything to score quickly.

Think they are starting to do this

It’s all there for them. Run 1s and 2s, Smith will start pulling fielders out of the slips soon.

After another bad start, root and Crawley (still got a brain fart in him) playing actual test cricket, that is more enjoyable than what we seen last test

Proper test cricket and still managing to score at nearly 5 an over. Enjoyable so far.

 

[Aidan11]

12 overs bowled in the first hour is absolutely shocking.

The ICC need to come down hard on this.

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

Honestly I just feel really warm and fuzzy inside when the lads play a solid defensive shot.

 

[scotch]

Rain only forecast for late on day 4 and first half of day 5. Just for those hoping for rain to save us later on

It's brilliant isn't it? Sir Geoffrey will be buzzing with pride.

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

Put that away man.

Close!

Scoring far too quickly for him.
