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

[Bears Beets]

Rabbits in floodlights

Harsh on the rabbits

 

[Hulkster]

Haway Australia just finish these Muppets off so we can all get on with the rest of our day.

 

[Darlo1973]

This, England's approach has been terrible and got themselves in trouble by allowing them to be bowled at under the lights.

Australia are pretty much unplayable under day night conditions. We just don't have the experience of it.

 

[Feed the Monster]

He didn't.

He did. Umpire gave him out, which he clearly was and he appealed it.

Or a meringue.

 

[scotch]

I think I know the answer, but how come when Australia come over here it’s really competitive, but when we go down there it’s always a good hiding

Their batters and bowlers play County cricket beforehand

Because Australia are good at cricket and were very bad at

 

[Aidan11]

150 run smith/stokes partnership needed

If we keep saying it, it may happen

It will when Jofra comes out to bat.

 

[Doctor_Sunlun]

We’d beat the kernts at the hundred

We’ve put loads of pressure on their bowlers too with our approach, allegedly

 

[ozcat]

Amazing the results Boland gets by just bowling line and length and doing little else

They 100% knew how to play today. Hats off to them. I doubt the words were it doesn’t matter at all were muttered by their camp.

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

150 run smith/stokes partnership needed

If we keep saying it, it may happen

Even if they did, what’s that achieving? 100 run lead, which head will knock off in 15 overs. Probably less actually, given how bad our bowling is.

 

[FatCat2402]

He did. Umpire gave him out, which he clearly was and he appealed it.

Or a meringue.

I completely missed that. I thought the umpire gave the first one but not the second. Apologies

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

I tell you what. Thank God Rob Key made our county dobbers bowl with kookaburras in England on flat decks otherwise this might have been embarrassing.

 

[Binxy]

This is the top and bottom of it.
They have plenty of experience in English conditions.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

He did. Umpire gave him out, which he clearly was and he appealed it.

Or a meringue.

looks like the yolks on you.

 

[hank evans]

Aye but are you entertained?? What’s your vibe with it?

I’d be quite content to watch a bit of it play out from our bowlers for a bit

Needs to bowl faster. And short. Always short

 

[Binxy]

Amazing the results Boland gets by just bowling line and length and doing little else

You never know it might catch on one day.

Mental toughness

Team culture that demands success above all else

Same as any long-term successful team in any sport

 

[Peterlee James]

Good ball that got Brook.

I’d take that over a needless fuckit Hook.

Small wins and that, so gutted with how this series has went
