Only 83 overs... About time test cricket was forced into bowling the full day allocation. needs to change given the hideous ticket prices.

Good days cricket
Spot on. 83 overs, in an additional 30mins as well, is a disgrace

Just noticed the extra half an hour as well. If County Cricket can get 90 odd overs in then test cricket should. ICC need to keep dishing out fines or insist they stay on until full allocation is bowled
17 overs of spin as well

Bloke never thinks he’s out. The ball that got him was plumb yet the twat is standing at the side of the stumps gesturing with his arms that it was going wide.
I absolutely hate the ****.
I’m just glad that aside from one decent innings he’s had a bit of a shit series (so far). Same goes for the much vaunted Labuschagne. Another helmet with a high opinion of himself except he has half the talent of Smith.

Its also hilarious the reaction of Aussies to any negative comments of him on Twitter or YouTube, how quick they are to defend the confirmed cheat.
Its similar to the mags with the Saudis, although backing a cheat isn't as bad as backing murderers in fairness.
The weather forecasts are shit though especially the BBC one. It could all change.

Conventionally that’s the test match way of doing things. It won’t happen like that. Their bowlers are too good and the pitch doing a little bit. England will play to their strengths score runs quickly may score similar to them but hopefully by the end of tomorrrow. They will see it as needing to move the game on. England will be happy with the first 3 innings of this test match are similar scores as long as the runs are scored quickly enough.
Assuming we get them out in the first 10 overs we’ll be level with them by 5pm tomorrow.
Someone is going to have to have the innings or spell of their life ie, a 50 ball 100 or 6-20 to navigate the weather I fear

Not sure that’s how this team are looking at it. What’s wrong with scoring the same as them in the first innings , or a few less even, but very quickly?

Cos it's supposed to rain a lot and the Aussies don't have to win?

Aye but we have to bowl them out twice anyway and I think the approach will be to take risks, score quickly and lose wickets if need be and chase them down in the last innings. Not try and build more slowly to a massive first innings total. Just my opinion like

Which makes his point even more valid I would have thought? If England are to win this in 3 and a bit days it’s probably two similar scored first innings by before the end of tomorrow and then hope we can bowl them out.
