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

[Scotty 1978]

All out for 131 at 5:45 tomorrow morning and that’s quite generous

 

[Hetty]

Starc twilight spell started this time in 1st innings just after 6pm/8am

Refunds are now available for Day 4 ticket holders.

3.5 hours of play = 40 overs.

Australia will be scoring the winning runs at about 11.20

 

[ZeeZee]

Reets 100-0 at the interval

I'm not sure these message boards have the bandwidth to cope with a England collapse here

 

[Rokerparkpies]

Fk this...im off to PF where sanity prevails

 

[Dexter]

Jack better than bash?? Discuss

Aye but then again Shaun Udal is probably still better than Bashir so the bar is incredibly low.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

All out for 131 at 5:45 tomorrow morning and that’s quite generous

My gut tells me watching 30 years of test cricket is that England will be all out for about 260 and the Aussies will chase down about 80 one or two down, you never know though

Fk this...im off to PF where sanity prevails

wouldn't go that far

 

[Aidan11]

Didn't bother getting up early for this as I had a feeling. Australia would get 500+

England will probably be all out before the close.

I'm off to the politics board.

 

[dangermows]

My mates out there for last 3 tests. Haway the comeback

 

[Thunder Road]

25-3?

Well the last Saturday in the Ashes was as bad as it gets.

Lets see if they can improve on the lowest of expectations.

 

[Classic94]

I’m going all out for 150 in 32 overs. Brook out for 6 playing a ramp shot.

 

[---Nemo---]

I recon we could put 11 lads from here to challenge Aussies more

Would even get the voice of fair play as umpire

Indeed, get more blue collar grit into the side.

 

[FatCat2402]

25-3?

I'd class that as a decent start

 

[Anthly]

I was trying to watch as live but fucked up and clicked the go live button.

Glad I never bothered. This has been coming for 2 and half years.

Our arrogance with the bat especially beggars belief. Time and time again the other team shows us how to play test match batting when it's difficult.

Yeah when it comes of it looks class but too many times now in the last 2 and half years it hasn't.

6 and counting defeats in the Ashes, 6 defeats to India, 2 defeats to Pakistan, 1 to Sri Lanka and 1 to New Zealand where we've not respected test cricket remotely.

We've spent the last 2 and half years building up to this series and disrespecting opposition constantly on about this. Only to fail miserably

Get McCullum and that moron Key gone. Get a proper coach in rather than by his own admission someone who focuses more on the mental side of the game in McCullum. Well the mental side is where this team doesn't have a f***ing clue.

Great post.Nailed it.

 

[dangermows]

Need to golf swing with the bat.

wouldn't go that far

Or Crawley gets off to a cracker then decides to waft at one outside 4th or 5th stump and the capitulation begins...

 

[Binxy]

25-3?

Off 2.3 overs.
