Australia v England, 3rd Test, 16th December , 23.30


Chance to actually apply some pressure with these two at the crease as you wouldn't expect them to score quick. Though Khawaja knows his career is on the line (though I think he was gonna retire after the series anyway)
 
I know this might sound obvious, but it’s so hard to explain how hard it is to catch a ball like that.

It’s one thing catching a high one when you can watch it all the way into your hands, but Crawley has about 0.1 seconds to work out where that’s going and then dive and close his hand at exactly the right time.

Brilliant bit of fielding. Australia having an England moment in getting themselves out.

For the size of him to take this is outrageous.

The sort of catch we see from Pope on the regular.

I find it incredible he's scored 6000+ runs. It doesn't seem that long since he made his debut.
 
What a catch that was from Crawley. One handed and so low to the ground? Wow.

Looks like Archer has started here how he finished off the last innings.
 
Im going to sound like a reet owld fart but when did not covering stumps become a thing? Always drilled into us if they run. One man to ball one covers stumps to gather up the throw. More chance of a run out
