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

[Binxy]

Picking Jack's seemed a very defensive pick

Was only picked because he might score a few.

 

[ZeeZee]

Because he can swing the bat a bit.

We’ve got loads who can do that marra

 

[scotch]

How many had they bowled before dusk yesterday

Bout 35
Right, think I'll go get another 3 hours kip before work and hope to wake up and see a minor miracle from our bowling

Seems like that's all you need to get picked for this team.

 

[Aidan11]

Potts and Tongue must be expecting the nod in the 3rd test now.

 

[mackem1989]

Going to have a kip for 21 mins before me alarm goes off for work

 

[Jasper]

Woke up to see the Aussie's have put bazballed Bazball.

 

[Aidan11]

End of the session.

Thank fk.

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

It’s hard to enjoy watching England for more than half an hour.

 

[CraigyWatt]

6am, bed time. See yous tomorrow at 4am if we haven’t been beaten by then

Note that Australia squeezed out two wickets from superb catches, Carey yesterday and then Labuschagne today.

While England drop a complete shocker behind the stumps.

These things matter in a game of 20 wickets. Every wicket builds pressure and can lead to another.

 

[Inside Forward]

Well who would have predicted this? Turns out this is what happens when you hand the opposition 7 wickets.

Absolutely pathetic.

Carse going at 9 an over man. Wank.

 

[Aidan11]

I won't get be getting up at 4am tomorrow.

 

[CraigyLee]

Just woke up to see Australia flying hopefully England can regroup and get a couple early next session

 

[Inside Forward]

We should talk about Jamie Smith btw. Been absolutely woeful with the bat lately and a shocking drop today.

The drop made me furious, but his dismissal yesterday was purely down to the delivery.

So another 14 overs of this before the (hopeful) relief of dusk.

 

[CraigyLee]

126 balls bowled this session only 4 would have gone on to hit the stumps

 

[Captain Slackbladder]

Game and the ashes could realistically be gone by close of play today...

Hopefully I'm proved wrong like....

 

[Dexter]

Lions are getting an absolute pummeling by Australia A as well. Bashir has bowled two overs for 21

 

[Bears Beets]

Another rousing bowling performance.

5-0 incoming
