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

[scotch]

Got to get at least one of these out early, Inglis coming in at 7 having smashed an unbeaten century last week against the A team opening

 

[Raymondo]

Christ, don’t do it to yourselves lads. It’s over

 

[scotch]

Right, off to work, TMS being switched on. Hopefully we can cause a collapse and be about par by the close

 

[bumble2]

Five minutes ago I was screaming at Stokes for bringing Carse back and saying he had surely played his last test for us!

Tell you what, looking from the spider cam at the pitch, it’s going to be a minefield on day 4 and 5.

All those green lines are going to dry out and crack into a million pieces.

Forecast isn't great for days 4 and 5

Overcast will only make the ball do a bit more like.
Jammy bastards. Stokes’ in the game with Carey here.

 

[Anthly]

This is more like it

 

[elder]

They pitch up, we bang it in halfway down. Then have an inquest after we get humiliated. Rinse and repeat.

Ricky Ponting should be the england specialist coach for an ashes tour here. he's superb on commentary analysing the play.

He’d be ideal but not sure he could bring himself to do it

Will it get that far?

100% we need to fly through these tonight and Neser.

If they can hang around them 3 can still kill us. Starc handy enough too.

Depends when Australia declare really.

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

This Inglis looks a player @mackembhoy

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

It’s hard to fathom what we’re watching here.

Cameron Green batting like he’s chasing down 24 off 8, Duckett dropping second team level catches and Smith falling into a signposted trap (wonderful catch mind).

It’s just absurd cricket

 

[bumble2]

At least this is going into a third day!

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

It’ll go into a 4th as well I think. Theres no way 20-odd wickets fall in a day on this pitch.

But not a fourth

Won’t need 20. About 14 will do, 10 of them English.

Looks like a traitor to me

Well there’s the 5 England have to get, unless Australia declare. Then the 10 English ones (which could come in 20 overs mind you)
