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

Need these 2 to bat at least an hour after tea here.

Sadly I still expect us to chuck it away (if you can even call it that from this far away)

Please tell me it was full of beautiful looking wild slashes and ended with one just outside off absolutely blowing his mind???

Not today. He worked hard but Cummins with the new ball was world class. Accurate, moving it in and out, some very well directed bouncers to keep the batsmen honest.

Very defensive fields these for a side 350 ahead chasing 8 wickets

Not really threatening to take wickets when you allow easy singles. Can see them coming out all guns blazing after Tea

Woke up at 1ish and saw we were running through them and was pleasantly surprised. Just woke up again and I’m not surprised to see us /2 but it could be worse. Back to sleep methinks

Crawley has impressed me today too. He has given himself a chance! Pleased pope tried. Cummins is a joy to watch the Aussie bastard

Crawley always throws it away

Crawley always throws it away

That’s the concern. There’s always a collapse around the corner

Angled back though, massive technical flaw that he's had all series, not playing straight

 

[SydneyFan]

101-1 session, repeat that and at least we'd go to day 5 with the hope that 2 big partnerships will get the job done.
Whisper it....not many times I've seen Crawley bat as well as that

Dare to believe.

This session will decide whether I'm here for day 5.

 

[scotch]

Little bit of a clash with the boxing now, then got to leave to catch a coach at 6. All go today

 

[Mackem2017]

This would be so England haha

 

[scotch]

Lucky root

 

[hank evans]

Lucky root

Closer than it looked! Phew

 

[scotch]

Cummins just has root on toast sadly

 

[DieselBert]

Ffs. Root is Cummins bunny unfortunately

 

[hudson88]

Fuck sake

 

[hank evans]

Ffs great bowling without doing anything but be consistent

 

[Mackem2017]

Jesus how many times in the first over of a spell
Brook needs to be ultra aggressive for me no point him trying to block

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

And that’s that.

 

[CraigyWatt]

If Brook and Crawley can get near their career highest score, we'll win by 7 wickets
