Mad isn't it?Reckon the WIndies pace attack in these conditions is as good as the Aussie one, which is legitimately world class.
Reckon Aussie end up with a first innings lead though
Hopefully grind out some partnerships and get close.

Hopefully. They are bloody good like.Ball is doing enough like, but they're digging in well.
Good point on comms about the Ozzy attack. This Ashes might be the last time England face any of them.

I was really looking forward to seeing Sharmar Joseph in England after his previous performance against Australia where he looked fantastic but he really didnt do much over here. Glad to see him doing so well again against Australia.

It’s great to see so many question marks over this Aussie team, mostly the batting of course but still…
That considered, I still expect the bastards to get it together just in time for us going there
Absolute farce, 11 (ELEVEN) overs lost despite there not being a single weather delay AND them utilising the extra half hour.
Seriously, the ICC need to start demanding that all overs are bowled no matter how long it takes (weather permitting obviously). It’ll sharp get fielding sides focussed on achieving something which really shouldn’t be that difficult.
Either that, or give a ten run penalty for every over a team is behind the rate at the end of each day.

As I pointed out yesterday, all overs have to be bowled on day 5 however long it takes, so why that can't apply every day I have no idea.
Bloody cricket man. So good yet so daft.

You weren’t happy when the Sri Lanka/Bangladesh test had 90 overs in the day because it wasn’t the right type of bowlers (spin). Pick a side…It’s great to see so many question marks over this Aussie team, mostly the batting of course but still…

Not misquoted anything… when Sri Lanka and Bangladesh got 90 overs in the day you commented on how much of that was bowled by spin and (which you capitalised for emphasis) ‘they still entered the extra half hour to achieve it’.What?!
Way to misquote me and completely miss the point there fella.
So you weren’t happy with how they managed 90 overs in a day, yet when in this WIndies v Aus game where they don’t achieve 90 overs in the game bowling majority seam and taking wickets, you pass negative comment too.
Players damned if they do bowl 90 overs and damned if they don’t with you…

Just catching up on highlights. A bit of questionsble batting at times but Joseph bowled some crackers. The ball to knock over Webster was fantastic.
