This series will be full of twists and turns and I think it may be more even than many think.

The quality is clearly missing but I don’t see how you can say its rubbish. All three matches so far have given excellent entertainment.


The England captain is rubbish. He can't bat or catch.
The way most batsmen got out today was as if they were giving fielding practice.
Rrrrrrruuuubbbbissssh!!!!!

Today’s the day.

If Australia can somehow get the lead in the region of 350 then it would be a very hard task then.

Let’s hope Archer doesn’t take the cowards way out either and lasts more than an overs worth of balls this time. Chin music is what the fans want.

Th Indian top order was skittled for about 100 by the Windies the other day. Middle and lower order got it respectable. Funny game cricket

Root and Denny have dug in well so far. They need to still be there at stumps.

Still no reason this can’t be won if they bat like test batsmen. All it needs is a big score from someone. The reason it looks a lot for a fourth innings chase is that nobody normally has the best part of three days to do it. Just need to accumulate runs, leave anything off the stumps alone and no flashy one day w*nk. In fact they should be annoyed if they don’t get these runs.

130 for 2 tonight
260 for 4 tomorrow night
359 for 7 Monday at tea.

Piece of piss.

They play till 7pm I think so that’s still a big ask. Aussies starting to get a bit sloppy in the field now.

240 for 8 in two days and two hours under sunny skies should be a cakewalk for these players.

They’ll get one more new ball. That’ll probably decide it if England still have a chance after 80 overs

Denly is such a terrible player at this level I’m really identifying with him and his guts and determination. He reminds me of me, very limited but will sink my teeth into anyone’s calf. Leg that is not their baby cow.

Root just got given out LBW despite the biggest inside edge ever. What are the umpires watching.

Umpires were much better before technology.

I think they give decisions these days knowing that technology will get to the right one eventually. Imagine there were no reviews left though and the Test match turned on that shocker.

Taken from Guardian over by over coverage..

“Rob, I’ve thought of a game saving strategy,” says Kim Thonger. “Instruct our batsmen to just keep heading every ball. The Doctor will have to keep coming out for concussion checks, that should waste hours. Also, if anyone manages to head it hard enough to actually get concussed, there’s the added bonus of the time required to locate and pad up a like for like replacement. If we go hard with this approach I can’t see the Aussies bowling much more than twenty overs by close of play on Monday?”

Why whisper it? They simply should win from this position with two full days to bat.

Agreed... but England tend to collapse like a pack of cards nowadays in the Test arena don't you know

I can see where you’re coming from with this but this would be the tenth highest fourth innings score to win a Test match in cricket history. The odds are not in our favour and nor should they be. Australia are still huge favourites.

Most teams don’t get three days of sunshine. If they had a total of 210 to get, two days to go, and 8 wickets to get it, you’d surely tag them as favourites?

I’m not saying they will win it mind. Far too flaky. But if Stokes, Buttplug and the rest lived up to their own hype, they would do it.
