Think this might be the end of Jimmy like.

Some one should start a thread.

He just shouldn't have been picked over Tongue or Robinson, bowled fine but hes just missing something

 

[FatDrummer]

Care not one jot all you want. If I was coach and captain of the national team, I'd be hugely concerned at seeing my keeper make no attempt to grab that ball.

Did I say that the coaching staff shouldn’t be concerned?

Celebrate the taking of a dangerous wicket and save the Post Mortem for later.

 

[Durham-Mackem41]

Needed more than a single wicket this morning not enough balls in the right place often enough.

This over from wood to Uzzie, 2 plays and misses, an edge, a decent short ball and goes for 5 runs...no justice for Englands bowling this morning

Totally get that but as someone who hasn't followed this game so far it seems like Australia are just trying to bat out the game.

Worldie of a catch. To improvise as he did made it an even better catch

Great take there mind

Batters have shown really good judgement on line and length, havent been able to score freely because of the risk/reward.
Hope this cloud cover doesnt disappear after lunch mind

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

What was he chuntering on about there to the umpire

Think he was having a pop at Khawaja.

 

[chriswallace85]

Dinnar about anyone else but I can't stand the sight of McCullum sat up there with his feet up like a right smug twat.

Fyass ya'd like to punch.

They're just not making them play enough.

Were it England batting in a similar manner and situation, I can't imagine the Aussies giving them so many deliveries to leave.

 

[JackL]

I think after 50 overs England were at 250

 

[Dave Smith]

Surely that was Bairstows catch?

 

[scotch]

Englands morning that, 54-1, New ball in 29 overs, still 168 in front.
Looks like the sun has come out though which could make for a tough next two sessions

 

[rentaghost]

Still too early to tell. Aussies will feel they have done the hard graft and can now reap the rewards but if we get a couple their slow play will then come back and bite them. I hope it dies because their team selection at OT and determination to be as negative as possible is a bit disappointing and I think they have been worse for it.

 

[Silly Point]

Not a fan of bazball, but equally not a fan of this blatant playing for a draw either

Fyass ya'd like to punch.

he would knack ye.

give over

 

[essex boy]

For those that were talking up Khawaja and Labuschang, any reason why Khawaja is bottling facing Wood by not taking singles and Lubuschange looks like a good batsman at home but a rather ordinary one away from home as his trevails continue in this series?

Maybe I am missing something
