Just doing us Test Match lovers a solid by giving themselves a bit extra to chase so we see a bit more cricket.

 

[tiger_one]

Well that was quick (again).
England back in the sheds - all out 164, leading the Aussies by 204.
Boland 4 wickets, Starc 3 and Doggett 3.
Tea break - Day 2.
WTF - this is supposed to be test cricket!

Quietly shitting bricks. 200 might as well be 400 for this batting line up.

205 not quiet enough for the poms

Great response by Boland and Hoggett. Starc the rock but needed support and after some soul searching overnight the other quicks delivered. That’s teamwork.
And sending Head in at opener to knock the top of the total means tomorrow becomes a much easier exercise.
Not sure how they’ve done it but looking like a 1-0 lead after tomorrow.
Come on Aussie, Come on.

Latest score 0-75 off 11+ overs.
Now that’s Maccaball ( Andrew McDonald).

Head just needs to keep playing his shots without silly risks. Still hard for new batsmen so we need him to score the bulk of the runs

Poms blew it bigtime
poms maybe slim chance at gabba
poms no chance adelaide.mcg or scg

It is a test. Batsmen these days just don’t have the technique.

Makes me laugh any talk about the pitch. No gremlins at all so far. It’s playing true. If anything it’s the outfield not letting 4’s be actual 4’s that’s the problem.

Well I don’t want to take the mantle of forum pessimist, but didn’t the Poms lose 9/105? That’s still open for us at this stage.
The only saving grace is this pitch should be getting to its peak for batting.

stupid shots cost poms
Aussies won't do that

Heath mason looks like temu Travis head

As a Test cricket purest, this match has been hard to watch. The greatest spectacle in cricket should not be ending in two days. WTF is going on?
