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

[Mr Redknapp]

No it wouldn't.
We need to bat long, very long.
Trying to reduce the deficit quickly will only end one way.

Looking likely that Mr Starc will be bowling with a new pink cherry under lights too.

 

[Rokerparkpies]

Thunderstorms due afternoon on 5th day, showers could be around tomorrow night.
Batting time will be just as important to show some fight and game situation awareness...

We know what's going to happen though

Now youve said it!!!

 

[scotch]

Apparently this was arguably a poorest Aussie side to Grace the Ashes...
Who knew eh????

It is, they'd be going toe to toe with the 2010/11 team and hammered by every other team for the last 25 years

 

[CraigyLee]

I wonder if they’ve learnt to treat starc with the respect they did Bumrah in the summer

I mean even if they do it’ll be highly frustrating

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

Looooool England need to just bat the game out and try and get a draw.

4 years they’ve been preparing for this. Glad I’m hungover and didn’t bother setting an alarm.

It's not the strongest but it looks head and shoulders above England so far

Exactly, we need to prize our wickets not chuck them away.

 

[scotch]

If he holds the ball up to the crowd my tele is going out the window

Can't wait for the inevitable 'we need to go harder with the bat and the ball' in the post match interviews

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Tbf Jacks he's bowled as well he could have done so far... having said that he's bowling at the lower order

 

[Rokerparkpies]

Exactly, we need to prize our wickets not chuck them away.

Can starc play upfront for us!!??

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

It’s funny cos they’ll come out swinging on a proper flat track, lose them cheaply, then say they needed to swing to have a chance at winning.

 

[mackem1989]

We need a few with the ability to see
Off 200+ balls each ain’t happening.

 

[CraigyLee]

No we will go hard and then go hard some more

If there is any fight in them they’ll get themselves into a position where you think they’ve got a chance then chuck it away like India last test

Go harder..last shorter...and thst isn't a euphemism!!

 

[ZeeZee]

40 minutes til the break.

Perfect time for us to lose three wickets.

4*

 

[JackL]

40 minutes til the break.

Perfect time for us to lose three wickets.

These two will still be batting at tea

 

[Mr Redknapp]

40 minutes til the break.

Perfect time for us to lose three wickets.

Aussies will declare if they aren't all about by the time the floodlights go on.

We should have a spinner who we think that will be good in Australia play him for a couple a years then when we get to Australia make him go and play for the lions

Don't be silly why would we do that....oh wait.
