Cricket

This will be over by tomorrow.

What does the weather forecast look like for the next three days? It better be apocalyptic

No Root to the rescue either. England's new dawn lasts approximately 4 days!

Boycott is combusting on the radio!

Back to be being pathetic then

now its over.

Think the Aussies might take England up on the offer of that drink now.

Johnson could tear through England tonight, all over tomorrow

1-1 in the ODI series so far and Muhammed Hafeez has been suspended from bowling for 12 months for his action after the first game where he had the best figures. So I'm calling that a moral 1-0 lead!!

K Perera 50 off 17 in the second game. Not too shabby lad.

The fightback is on

...and off again.

Be interesting to see what Clarke does (enforce the follow-on or not) given that there's probably only going to be 2 or 3 sessions playable over the next two days if the forecast is right.

Clarke doesn't enforce follow-on's ever. Besides he won't want to bat last on the pitch. They'll go again and England will try and play for a draw

Indeed.

Only 5 tests ever have had the team batting fourth survive 5 sessions (150 ov), and a couple of those were timeless tests.

But, if you ever wanted a pitch where surviving for 150 ov is possible, it's this one.

But if you ever wanted a top order to help you do so, I fear it's not this one, or at least not in current form!

The longest they've lasted is 126 overs which was back in 1953 odd. We're fucked.

Lyth really isn't the solution then. Fucking dreadful.

Unbelythable

Well this is going well.

Pathetic

Oz have piled on the pressure in this test, and England have crumbled,
i refer you to post #3890 :( awful cricket from England

#straya

Kick up the arse that was needed. Shame they won't address the top order at all, also Bairstow scored another ton for Yorkshire today.

2 days ago? This thread went quiet quick. What happened*? I've been busy.

*Obviously I know what happened. You lot got fuckin' spanked and the world can once again rest easy knowing the balance is restored.

I'm only in it for the money.

nothing happened move along please, nothing to see here...

Ballance has not been restored.
