Poms commentary. “Yeah it’s a newer ball but you gotta know how to use it. Whinging aussies. Yeah it is a newer ball but that’s just test cricket. Gotta be adaptable” 🙄

Yeah I heard that bs, they were having a good ol laugh.
But the umpires have ruined the game with that ball change. You could see it las night.

The ball was damaged from the hit to the helmet? So we’re calling it a conspiracy?

That’s almost as funny as bairstow walking out his crease 🤣

What happened?

 

[Tiger-ferret]

What happened?

4 balls til lunch, smith uncomfortably gloves one up to leg slip: Stokes of all people who times his jump perfectly one handed loopy catch, on way down, goes to throw ball in the air…clip is his own leg and loses control of the ball.

Then loses a review. Then argues with impure about the review. Actually even funnier in hindsight 🤣

Haha it was his fault we won the first Test when he dropped Lyon.
They are starting to struggle.
Just relax boys, Australia have the trophy no matter what.

Esp with rain coming…

Rain is bad for us unless it is substantial.

Bahaha mark Taylor to atherton: that ball was so shiny it was too slippery to hold onto 🤣

Yeah I think for 2 hours. Obviously a win would be better but from my point of view a rained out draw is great to rub it into those buthurt Poms. The aussies have already batted through a bad time with this ball and conditions I can’t see the rain making it any worse.

It can be quite tricky to get going again after rain delays.
If it’s only 2 hours, they’ll make us bat till 8 o’clock, won’t they? I’m not near a tv, what time are they suggesting the game is over?

I’m not across all those specifics. Had to bowl 98 overs today. Healy just said 70 to be bowled. After 30 mins of delay they start to lose overs.

Still say 70 overs on cricinfo but that will change as the rain eats into the time.

Even my Mrs was laughing at him sooking about the review. He knew he dropped it before the review, you could see it in his stupid face.
