The England Cricket Thread

[manic111]

Hope so, think he's been unfairly treated through this series, he's had some good knocks in difficult periods, but has had some frustrating dismissals playing those similar wide shots unncessarily. Looks like the bouncers may be a bit more prevalent now.

Yeah agreed, he's batted well and significantly better and more consistently than in previous series. It would be good to see him turn a score into a ton.

Edit: Although if he keeps flashing like that he won't.

 

[Sankari]

Welp. I'll tune back in tomorrow to see how much we're going to lose by.

Hopefully not jinxing this, but Root looks like he's got the eye of the tiger today. 7.13 rpo this afternoon.

England really motoring. But I have a horrible feeling rain will give the Aussies the ashes.

Forecast looks intermittent for Fri/Sun. Saturday looks a right off.

It's been changing so fast though. I was at a festival in Wales a couple of weeks ago. Up until 2 days before it was meant to be a full weekend of rain, and we didn't get a drop.

True enough, let's hope for a dry few days.

Looks like they're aiming to get to 400+ by the end of the day.

[SoliD]

good work!

Well this has been incredible after the fall of the first wicket. What an effort. Might as well call Zak Crawley cat the amount of lives he's been through so far today.

England will declare at 100 lead, fail to bowl Aus out for a decent score, Aus grind out 500
England all out chasing the game win in 2 sessions.

My match prediction.

Very possibly. But we don't have any option but to go for a win now, so can't do much other than declare ASAP particularly given the weather forecast.

A match I'd love to watch - sadly.

My prediction - England end up with a lead of 100.

Rain results in only a few overs tomorrow, Sat is a wash out. Australia grind out the draw and win the ashes.

 

[Freddie1980]

Is Cameron The Green Green giant injured? He's only bowled 5 overs and was pretty economical compared to the bowlers?

 

[SoliD]

what the hell was that umpire review.

 

[Barry Weiss]

England will declare at 100 lead, fail to bowl Aus out for a decent score, Aus grind out 500
England all out chasing the game win in 2 sessions.

My match prediction.

ever the optimist!!

 

[Mercenary Keyboard Warrior]

[adidan]

Lol, nice way to get your fifty Root

 

[SoliD]

Nice work ZC!
