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

[Johnson Says]

I actually cannot stand our team
Every single ones of theirs put on a decent partnership since 94-4. Pathetic

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

I'm completely baffled by this.

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

The arse has finally come out.

 

[SAFC11]

9 boundaries in 6 overs, 6 off archer

 

[zebediah]

I had a slight hope today could be a chance to win at least one test.
But absolutely everything they have done this morning ability wise and tactically has been nauseating.
A defensive field against tail enders with the new ball and bowling everywhere with the wrong attack.

Buffet bowling in previous matches, coupled with making our fielders retreat and making it easy for them.

 

[Antidotes]

f***ing finally

 

[SAFC11]

The amount of runs we concede to third man is mind blowing

 

[Randy Ostrich]

Two wickets from two balls hitting the stumps.

 

[scotch]

Good job Archer turned up to bowl this innings or that could have been tragic.

Anything less than 500 and we are done for

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

What we thinking then? 250 all out?

 

[FatCat2402]

Right...bedtime. I expect to be bowling again by the time I wake up.

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

And just like that again....bowl at the stumps and it's caused an lbw shout. It really isn't difficult. So much poor bowling this morning, absolutely moronic bowling completely unacceptable

I’m giving it til lunch, or til we’re 2 down.

 

[Hyltons finest]

40 minutes later ffs

 

[scotch]

45-2 this morning...as long as the pitch is a road and we don't actually bat like idiots that will be fine.

I find it hard to believe bowlers themselves dont see it. It's just bizarre that at times you feel it has to be tactics but god knows

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

Carse bowled 16 overs and didn’t get a single maiden. That’s horrific.

 

[scotch]

This innings is last chance for the series, big opportunity given the weather, the pitch and the score from the Aussies to go big and target 550+

I don’t think Carse has the ability to consistently hit the stumps tbh.
